Everyman’s Technology Guide

As the tag line says, Everyman’s Technology Guide, Dan Chase, is your guide to personal computer technology. Dan’s grandfather Chase was an Adirondack Guide in the north woods of the Adirondack Mountains of New York state. Having inherited both his grandfather’s love of the outdoors and the desire to share his knowledge and experience with others, Dan is collecting here a summary of his knowledge in personal computers and web development from which everyone can learn. Oh, you ask, “What about the ‘outdoors’ part?” To satisfy his need for the outdoors, Dan lives in the big Rocky Mountains just west of Denver. He gets out into them whenever he can, preferably, every day!

There are many web sites out there they have great information on a variety of computer related topics. However, most of them are not oriented towards the people that need the content the most. While they have good technical information, there is sometimes a lacking in the explanation to the audience. Everyman’s Technology Guide will try to be your interpreter, translating technical information about web sites into more understandable English for the everyman.

Everyman’s Technology Guide helps the independent small business person, solo entrepreneurs and other freelancers that need to manage their own computer technology without a staff. These soloists need to spend their time on their chosen field of expertise, not spending a lot of time figuring out how to do things with a computer or on the web. However, with this in mind, they also recognize the need to market their business to potential customers via the web and leverage the efficiency of using a personal computer. Possibly to even deliver services over the Internet.

C. Daniel Chase

Dan Chase is now pursuing his dream of an independent life in the snowy mountains working at his passion, at his own pace, in his own direction. He has been involved in the information technology industry for almost 30 years in one manner or another. Having done everything from sales to component-level repair of computers, he has diverse experience in the current world of web development, networks, personal computers and related software.

Having served as the first full-time webmaster for a state university for six years, he moved into systems administration for about a year at the request of the IT department at the university, and then moved into a web systems analyst (programming) position. Originally as webmaster, he served all of these functions, as the university only had a position for one person.

Dan’s preferred platform for web servers is Linux, in particular, Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS. He uses Apple Mac OSX for his desktop utilizing VMware Fusion to use virtual machines running Microsoft Windows XP, Fedora Linux and Apple Mac OSX Server as the need arises. An authorized Mac developer, Dan is slowly delving into the world of developing desktop applications for Mac and the Apple iPhone.

For details of his recent experience, Dan’s résumé is available.
