Hello, world. And fellow nerds.

A little nerd.
A lot of
curiosity.

I’m Tom Postma. Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m into IT, figuring things out, and occasionally fixing things I broke while figuring things out.

No actual servers will be harmed.

Current troubleshooting status

Everything is under control.
Except the cables.

Somewhere in here is the solution.
And probably an Ethernet cable from 2008.

01 / THE MINDSET

Curiosity comes standard.

If it has a setting, I’ve probably clicked it. If it has a manual… let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

02 / THE APPROACH

It’s always DNS.

Except when it isn’t. Then it’s probably the one cable nobody thought to check.

03 / THE VIBE

Personal. Slightly geeky.

No sales pitch. No newsletter. Just a little place on the web with my name on the metaphorical door.
