About

Me

I’m Chris Bradshaw, an IT Professional with over twenty five years employment in the industry and experience covering a wide range of technology. My focus is in the infrastructure space, primarily with Azure in the public cloud and VMware vSphere On-Premises. Outside of the office you might catch me either attending or presenting at related tech events.

This infrastructure work is supported by development, primarily in PowerShell (and PowerCLI), but there’s still a smattering of ASP.NET, and HTML/CSS in my repertoire - often backed with MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server databases. Historically I’ve worked with Visual Basic (v3 - .NET), and before that plenty of BASIC flavours on home computers. I’ve done bits of web development over the years, and once even put together an exciting HyperCard deck.

This site

In amongst some (hopefully) funny and intuitive comments this site aims to offer some useful IT knowledge which you are welcome to use. The information in here worked for me, but may not work for you so please bear this in mind if you are planning on following this advice. I cannot accept responsibility for any lost data, damaged computers, missing cats or any other unforeseen incidents caused by following in my footsteps. If I jumped off a cliff you’d at least backup and think about it before jumping after me, and computing advice should be taken in the same way.

Similarly, any recommendations of products or services I mention herein should be considered my personal opinion. Please think carefully before spending money (or not spending money) based on what you read here and check any specifications out with the vendor concerned (hey, you might even be able to blag a product related T-shirt from them for doing so). If you do discover any inaccuracies please let me know via email or twitter DM and I’ll endeavour to correct them as soon as possible. Please also shout if you get a particularly nice vendor T-shirt.

This is my personal site and any views expressed are mine and not my employer’s, except if my employer agrees with said views- in which case it’s up to them to say so. Anything else that I haven’t included in this disclaimer should be considered disclaimed, or whatever the legal term for “it’s not my fault” actually is.
