Video Interview Questions		Interview me live online
In the interest of saving you some time and helping you to make a better decision I took some time to do some "one take only" interview questions.  These are general in nature but offer you some insight into who I am and what my interests are. coming soon in a new format.		I also have a video conferencing tool that would allow you to interview me live.  If you are interested in this, it requires only a web cam on a PC, Mac, Sun Solaris, or *nix machine.  The video conferencing system is web based and does not require an install.  Please contact me and I will provide you with the information for accessing this system.

Home Office Environment

My home office environment has been carefully crafted to foster a creative, undisturbed, and powerful development environment for my endeavors.  The office itself is separated from the common areas of the house and is well lit.  I have successfully worked as a telecommuter for 9 years.  I absolutely love the extra two hours a day I get back not having to drive in traffic.  My productivity has never been better, and my overall costs of doing business are way down.

Connectivity

2 T-1 circuits (Global Crossing nailed T-1, Cox 6 megabit) Both circuits have assigned static IP blocks and both offer dynamic IP addresses.  *Redundant connectivity

Phone Services

2 incoming dedicated voice phone lines.  Both have one number service redundancy offering cellular overlay service.  1 Polycom 650 VOIP phone with an additional extender this easily integrates with most SIP/VOIP systems. Therefore, I can connect directly to your phone network. Currently operate 18 voice lines.  I also have a PolyCom conference room phone system in my office.   All incoming voice lines have toll-free numbers.

Tools

I am currently running a 24 station / server 100 megabit network.  All hardware is updated every 6 months and all servers are top of the line machines. I am a full Microsoft Universal Development Partner (UDP) Program subscriber which provides me with a complete suite of Microsoft's back office operating systems and server software.  My main environment is based on Windows 2000 and XP machines.  I am also running a Microsoft .Net server.  All of my systems are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection, and automated audits.  I am currently running 3 terabytes of storage backed up every 6 hours.  Over the years I have developed several unique software applications and methodologies that greatly enhance my overall performance.  I regularly use PPTP or VPN services to connect to my client's networks, and have several SSL/PKE certificates.  I have Microsoft Terminal Services™ clients and Microsoft NetMeeting™ software installed on my workstations.  I am familiar with configuring and presenting information using WebEx™ and PlaceWare™.  Finally, I have full multi-media production facilities with streaming media servers in both the Windows Media™, Flash™ Media Server, and RealVideo™ formats.  Since I am frequently asked to participate in meetings I have also developed a video conferencing system that allows multiple parties to communicate and collaborate in real time with very low bandwidth consumption.

Privacy

My office is secluded and in a quiet neighborhood.  There is very little traffic and my home is on a generously sized lot.  My family is comfortable with my non-existence during business hours and leave me un-disturbed.

Security

One of my most important priorities.  The home is never left un-occupied for more than a few hours.  When the home would be left un-occupied we hire either a security firm or use local house-sitters to keep the home warm and in good company.  All non-family members are screened with a comprehensive background check.
