About Me

Disclaimer: I work in the networking industry for a network vendor. The views and opinions on this blog are my own and not representative of the company I work for. I am not a Developer. I am just a regular ol' Techie that designs networks and creates scripts for my own personal and work use. I like to share them with the online community. They work for me and hopefully they can help you too. Don't be an Ass and try to sue me if they don't work or cause any damages in your production network. In fact if you use these scripts without thoroughly vetting them beforehand, you shouldn't have the responsibility of controlling a production network in the first place. The scripts on this Blog are Proof-of-Concept. By using them, you are therefore agreeing that I am in no way liable for any direct, indirect damages, or lost wages however caused and regardless of the theory of liability arising out of the use of or inability to use the script.
