I see a theme with our new staff- they all seem to have a lame sweater story. Introducing our latest Premium Systems Engineer Jake Davis and his Top 13…

 
1. What is your earliest IT memory?
We got our first computer when I was in high school, an IBM 486!  I read the entire manual the first week we had it and learned about a great utility called “Double Space” which would double the space you had left on your computer. Awesome! What I did not read is that it would compress the entire drive and not make it accessible after rebooting. My mom was not happy.

2.       What gadget or software can’t you live without?
 My iPhone runs my life….
 

The multicultural atmosphere at SilverDane continues to grow as we add our latest recruit, French Canadian Eric Dumouchel, to our Edmonton office. Eric is our new Premium Systems Engineer and has made the move west after working as a systems administrator for a few companies in Montreal, Quebec.
 
Here’s the Top 13 things about Eric (Top 10 wasn’t enough!)    
 
1.       What is your earliest IT memory?
Working for an outsourced tech support company, when the world only had dial up! You could only provide support if they had a second line, if not they would try the fix we provided, if it didn’t work then they would have to call back for step two! So you would have to keep your line open so you could call them back! Now that’s tech support

2.       What gadget or software can’t you live without?

The remote for the TV, remember when we actually had to get up to turn the dial on the TV to change the channel?
