OK! The big question!!! Who am I? Well, let’s see.

I have 3 kids, I’ve been  with my wife for 21 years (as of 2010), I have 2 cars (with doors mind you!), a house with a roof that does not leak, food on the table every day, … I guess I can be grateful.

Oh! You mean what do I know and what is this blog for?

Well,I have been fixing electronic stuff since I was 12 years old. In fact, I have always “fixed stuff”!

I’m a troubleshooter, I’m very good at finding bugs in software (I just love to break software). I can fix about everything from cars to video cameras to microwave oven to computer.

Let’s see, my first  job was as  an electronic technician. You know, the guys that use to fix stuff, not like today where everything electronic his thrown away!

In the 1980′s I started building and fixing computer. I remember the super fast XT 4.77MHz power house! Formatting a 20MB hard disk took about half an hour if I remember right!

Around 2000 I started working from home as a freelancer designing, programming, fixing and building web sites. I few years later, I started looking into internet marketing. I now mostly work in online marketing. I have done SEO for new and preexisting sites, competition analysis, online market analysis, PPC, blogs and social media, I also do “how to”  training videos in French and English.

OK, Enough about me!

P.S.: As you can probably tell (or read!), I’m Francophone (I live in a suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada) so my English is not perfect! On top of that, I have a condition called dysorthographia (a kind of dyslexia but for writing), I will sometime misspell or use a wrong spelling for word. Don’t be surprise if see the word God used instead of good! I use a spelling corrector and I use Text-Aloud so my laptop reads the text back to me (it’s a text-to-speech software). I will catch most error but one thing about dysorthographia is that you don’t see the error you make until you come back to your text at a later time! Only then can I laugh and see all the crap I wrote!!! If I missed something, just let me know. I will not be offended and will correct it.
