About
Hi,
My name is Tom Thrush, I’ve been an IT guy for over fourteen years (thirteen of those as a consultant) and have worked for 95+ companies in the San Francisco Bay area. I’m self-employed, primarily supporting Windows systems and networks, but also work with Linux and Apple deployments. So much to learn and still have a life…
Speaking of life… I live in San Jose, as it is said, “the heart of Silicon Valley”, with my wonderful and talented wife and our cat, Pippin, who specializes in causing sleep deprivation.
My interests, aside from computing, are watching Formula 1, playing with my Xbox 360 (racing) and role playing games. The last one is where the domain name comes from, Meltivore was a major villian in a game I ran many years ago. (Yikes! It’s been 21 years since then.)
I created this blog as a way to share what I have learned and continue to learn in the IT world. The blog is also a venue for other “tech-related” interests such as video games, cars, etc. I’m enjoying the fact that it also serves as a creative outlet, as I enjoy writing but spend little time in steady pursuit of any publishable work (I have four books started, none have more than seven chapters).
I hope to provide something worthwhile here, please feel free to make suggestions and participate in the process by leaving comments.
Best regards,
Tom
