A brief history of...fine, I'll just introduce myself normally because I have no wit lol

Hey everyone,

NosirrahSec here (Just my last name backwards with a ‘Sec’ sticker slapped onto it for funsies)

My real name is Joshua Harrison and I grew up poor back in the 80s and 90s in a somewhat affluent small town in Massachusetts (mostly, we moved a lot/were homeless for a bit lol); relevant because we couldn’t afford a computer like most of the kids I knew, but was obsessed with technology since as far back as I can remember so I began building computers from trash I found on the side of roads, in dumpsters, etc. by the time I was 10 or 11 or so.

I only had a functioning “gaming” PC by about 12 years-old. I saved up to go buy a 3dfx graphics card at a Circuit City; Voodoo 2000 series I think? It’s hard to remember. The rest of the PC was frankenbuilt from richer people’s trash I found and knew the value of lol

A billion years later and now I’m laid off from my longest stint in anything, 9 years-ish in tech now from Support Specialist (deskside nerd internally at a biotech) to Senior Infrastructure Engineer at a biotech-focused MSP with roughly 100ish clients and thousands upon thousands of endpoints and identities.

Hey everyone.

Glad you’re here, Joshua, even if the current circumstances aren’t the best. Let’s do some cool shit.

Just did an interview for a huuuuge opportunity that might land me back home in Mass a bunch.

We’ll have to catch a coffee/beer/whatever when I’m in town again.
