Objective

To find a well paid job working in a computer, internet and or communication field. I don't have any formal institutional study's in computer or internet related fields accept for a few classes I took via the internet at the Ziff Davis Network But.... Through self studies I've been able to successfully complete just about every aspect of PC repair from flashing motherboard bios or individual computer perpetual firmware, to recovering data. I've successfully installed maintained and repaired the installation of Microsoft Windows 311, 95, 98, 98SE, NT4 & 2000 pro. Also I've spent an extensive amount of time installing and configuring various versions of Linux, although I haven't spent too much time actually working in the operating system. Presently in my home I have a 4 computer network witch consist of a Pentium III (windows 2000 pro with an Apache web server and Linux Mandrake), a Pentium 166 (windows 98) workstation, a Pentium 100 (Windows 95 and Linux Redhat) workstation and a 386 ( Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS). All of the systems I built or rebuilt myself. As far as internet goes I've made quite a few websites. Most of them I don't have the address any longer nor do I maintain them. The following websites are all under construction. I would like to finish them but it's for financial reasons on the part of my clients, is why there not done. They are: http://www.antoniocores.com, http://www.duneoviedo.com, http://www.arrakis.es/~sovisis. My personal webs can be found at http://www.bbbaby.net and my home computer http://80.32.175.83 . In my home web I have examples of guest book, message board, mysql and a voting script. In order for anyone to connect to my home computer you have to contact me first.
