About the Author

Don Ankney is an Analyst at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he deals with issues of security, governance, and good old fashioned data management and infrastructure.

He lives in Seattle with his wife and two cats and is an avid photographer, casual outdoorsman, and occasional musician. He is addicted to caffeine in it's many forms and has a strong affinity to spicy asian foods.

According to his sister, he's a dork, and you wouldn't want to argue with his sister.

Finally, since this blog touches on questions that he deals with during working hours, it should be noted that the contents of this blog are his own personal opinion and not a statement of policy, value, or procedure of the University of Washington, State of Washington, or any other respectable institution.

Except for the dork part -- that's pretty much universally accepted.
