My name is Dennis Andrew Gutowski Jr. I write
Linux tech
blogs, work on Linux and Windows troubleshooting issues and love to
help people. (Enough that I will even troubleshoot an apple product
from time to time.)You can find me at irc.freenode.org using the nickname "hylian". If you are not familiar with IRC, freenode, or anything I just said, then use the button on the left side that says "Ubuntu Help Chat".
Also, please feel free to contact me via email, using the contact button.
I write the "Denny's Home World" Linux/tech blog, which is available by clicking on the "news" link above, or by going to dennygoot.blogspot.com.
I also run a not-for-profit computer repair organzation that helps people in my home town of Wausau, Wisconsin USA.
It's called "Denny's Computers", and can be reached at dpccom.blogspot.com.
I am a Jehovah's Witness, which I personally belief is the one and only true religion. Hard to beat "don't take my word for it, here's the proof in the bible" line of reasoning that the Witnesses use. (And then they actually did prove it to me, pretty cool, I think.) Anyhow, JW.org will do a much better job than I could in explaining all of that.
I have been in the computer repair/troubleshooting and manufacturing field since 1988.
I started working for Sears as a repair tech/salesman. Then I worked for a local computer repair firm until 1993 when I got my first certification. And the rest is history.
If I have 2 regrets, it's the disasters I rained down upon my highschool, Wausau East High School. I created a nasty virus that caused some serious harm.. (unintentionally, I swear!) And I wrote a program that peeked and poked random memory addresses until one day a perfectly good Apple IIc bought the farm.
It even lit on fire! :)
