Rajiv's blog

Today my younger daughter sat down with my father to find out about our ancestors. She discovered the names of her forefathers going back 11 generations! Surendra Harakhchand Nemchand Fulchand Karman Khima Lala Kachra Bharmal Raishi Raimal We also learnt that my great grandfather, Nemchand, left our ancestral village, Kansumra, and sailed from  India in a dhow to start a new life in Kenya on his own when he was only 10 years old!  

Welcome to my blog! I have been tinkering with computers since I was 13 and, after a wrong turn or two, was able to turn my hobby into a career. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work on systems in Europe, Asia and Africa and am now plying my trade in Canada as the director of IT for a group of businesses. The one thing I have never lost (despite users best efforts to make me question my choice of career) is my passion for technology. I still spend my evenings and weekends tinkering with things and learning about stuff I am never going to use in my day job. The great resources that others have made available for free on the Internet have been invaluable in my ongoing quest to learn as much as I can about technology. This blog is my attempt to give something back and perhaps help someone in their search for knowledge. Just remember - you cannot Google experience!
