	In 2005 I hired on with a local Credit Union and was tasked with setting up internal systems for tech support and employee policy documentation. I cobbled together that first server with [https://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD] and set up a [https://mediawiki.org MediaWiki] and [https://bugzilla.org Bugzilla]. I customized both and branded them for the credit union. Later I upgraded to a decent server with a new release of FreeBSD. About six years later I replaced that server, and fifteen years in, migrated the assets to virtual servers running Redhat Linux. The two applications hosted millions of records, and contained a high fidelity recording of fifteen years of IT Activities and Tech Support. The value of these assets are something I am very proud of to this day.

	Since I retired from working for the man, I have really missed the Wiki. To be completely honest, I cannot cost justify this Wiki. But I care not. Though I got a belated start on this, I will record the history of Impulse Launch Systems and make this a useful and searchable reference for our business, our products, and certain aspects of our hobby.
