Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Terry's UMUC Blog! Sure, this page was created out of necessity (as required by ITEC 610). But you know what? This page will be more than that (and much more than my last site). Visit here frequently to hear me wax ecstatic about my degree program, the lessons learned during my IT adventure, and perhaps some carefully-worded (read: hastily blurted) commentary. Have fun!

Learning for Week 2 - ITEC610


Some additional thoughts:
  • There seems to be a consensus that Linux, despite its current challenges and lack of support, may one day represent a legitimate challenge to the Windows domination. Here's to hoping that happens, as it will encourage better software development and technical progress.
  • RAID is an extremely popular storage solution that sees increased usage with developing hardware support. As more and more data live exclusively in soft-copy, this built-in redundancy will be very important.
  • Paper is still everywhere in offices around the world. Yes, we are reducing the amount produced every day. Yes, we are looking to digitize an increasing amount of content. No, paper isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
  • Processor technology is moving at an incredible pace. With the number of cores increasing, and the size decreasing, the processor market is looking to heat up in the coming 12-24 months. Bring on Moore's Law!
