My first kixing experience was most likely around 1998. I was at another job then. And I only dabbled trying to make a script that was really more intended to be a full blown program (I was too inexperienced to realize that at the time though). Because I could not get what I wanted to work, I moved on.
Then around 2002, I was trying to script something and in my searching I ran across kix again. I don't remember why, but that did not hold then either.
Finally in 2003, the company I worked for was bought out by another company they did a lot of 'basic' kixing. I looked back into it and found it could do a lot of what I was needing it for at the time(main purpose of logon and administration stuff).
Then it took me about a year to get around to actually useing the board.(it felt like a year anyway ). After that I really started discovering what kix could do. I think I am probably the most advanced kix scripter in my corporation. They seem to have been focusing on winbatch, etc recently, and they are not to partial to 'community' on boards. Outside company communication is discouraged, etc.. I really think they miss a LOT because of that. Best to use any resource you can to learn (imho)
