My boss (the owner) is not sure which since it is a newly created position.

This is the best part about being in a newly created position. Even though your title may say one thing, you're really whatever you want to be. If you add the function to your job, it becomes the job description.
 
Scud - Aren't you the guy who doesn't know how to buy a car, give a two week notice, add a route, use your treo etc? Now you don't know what your job is supposed to be? How the fuck are you going to be a CT or CIO?

I can just see your threads for the next year.

SCUD - How do I be a CIO
SCUD - Maybe I should switch to CTO
SCUD - What's port knocking?

I'll nip those thread in the bud now.

1. Be a raging prick to all of the employees underneath you. Micromanage everything, but never really accomplish anything yourself.

2. Make sure to give yourself a raise when you do so.

3. What the fuck do you need to know for, you've got underlings to do that for you.

4. See #3.

5. All of them.
