    Need a Gift Idea - Be sure to SKIP this one

    Yeah, just make sure you use your alternative alias - the one that purports you to be a 50-something Innuit woman with ten kids, living near Nome, Alaska.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    Exactly. I have a plum, pineapple, cherry, raspberry, and grape pyment that are now aging nicely.

    Need a Gift Idea - Be sure to SKIP this one

    Krebs had a great posting regarding the Superbox, supposedly, to provide free streaming access to just about everything you can imagine. But...when it's free, YOU are the product. The sad thing about it is that folks are going to probably buy these things up. Meanwhile, it might be an...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    One of these days, I'll perhaps retire myself. When I do, I shall take off my fedora, go into the country, and write Japanese haiku... ...without the aid of a laptop or ChatGPT. /r

    Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

    Given your background and experience, I don't think you're going to have much of a problem with 006. Pretty sure you brushed up on containers (Docker/Kubernetes/etc) and all the fun that entails, as well as AI topics. I think you'll be fine. Good luck and have fun with the exam. /r

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    We had a training house here in Colorado Springs that promised A+, Net+, and Sec+ in 20 weeks. I laughed out loud, but was a little angry because unless the student is remarkably astute or has had prior training, there's no way you get all that in 20 weeks. That company is no longer in...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    Well, the challenge is that, frankly, they're a business and they have to at least make enough revenue to pay their people, even if it focuses on marketing the brand into the industry. I think it's easy to armchair quarterback the problem, but none of us know, truly, what goes on in the...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    I'm afraid a lot of things adjusted over the last few years, with the acquisition of LabSim, the divestiture of the training business from the membership organization and the like. Such is the nature of business. Those of us in Higher Ed, particularly in the For-Profit side of the house, see...

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    Even in Higher Ed, we have problems with students deciding to just drop out of school and discontinue their training. I'm afraid this has been a problem for quite a while - seems students are more non-committal these days. All you can do, I think, is focus on the students that want to be...

    I need help - urgent

    You're going to want to reach out to your Business Development Manager to get access to any training materials. We're not going to have materials that you'll need. I know this doesn't help much, given that you're starting your class today, but that's where that is.
