Jerry A. Taylor of Tuttle, OK Thanks to TheRegister probably all know what "pulling a Tuttle" means by now.
See:

• http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/27/tuttle_email/
  

As a result, a few folks probably started to wonder what 22 years experience in IT really means nowadays. (As Mr. Taylor was still unable to tell a standard default install page..)

This article in the Tuttletimes (courtesy of Google's cache) gives some details that might explain some of the background:

• Mr. Taylor worked 22 years with E Systems as a program manager. The majority of the time on a classified government program.
  
  
• He has also had his own computer business and worked for the Choctaw Electric Cooperative as their internet technologies manager.
  
  
• It appears that Mr. Taylor had originally great plans for the city website when he started his job:
  a user-friendly automated system, information about city officials, agenda and minutes of meetings, a place to read ordinances, bill payments and building permit applications.
  - Which probably means that there's still a lot of work waiting for him, considering the current state of http://www.tuttle-ok.gov/
  
  
• He had already build the city of Harrah’s website before at http://www.harrah.net/. Currently it gives you a one-word-page.
  Fortunately, it has been archived for posterity at archive.org:
  http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.harrah.net/

So all in all, it seems that he should have had all the skills. (Of course, you never know what classified programms are all about.) - Something must have stopped him from reaching the goals that he had laid out for himself.  ¶ permanent link
