    Well, if Arnold gets Jingle All the Way, the Rock had to have his Christmas movie.

    Private Cloud Coverage

    Yeah, I built up a 24 node HCI - but not overly sure what I might use it for - apart from bitcoin mining.

    Hey, that's how they do it down at Nakatomi Plaza.

    Complementary Cloud+ Voucher

    Bah...not nearly as fast as I would like. Heavily involved projects keep me from doing them more.

    Apparent Errors in Labsim Quiz

    I think I agree with the explanation, although the question does split hairs. Google Workspace was positioned to provide those services. While Microsoft does provide web-based productivity solutions, Google was doing far earlier than MSFT was, which was its original intent. Originally, Office...

    Complementary Cloud+ Voucher

    I decided to give the CEU route a go (never went that way previously), this time for Cloud, since I had taken the SC900 and MS900 exams for Microsoft. That gave me all the credit I needed for that Intention level - which means I can take a bit more time with DataSys+ and take the new SecurityX...

    So...Network+ I thought there wouldn't be a book...

    Well, Security+ is still out there as is other certs from before the LabSim days. To clarify, basically all NEW certs, beginning with Net+ 009 were going to be without a book. But again, it appears that changed. Personally, I do not disagree with the change - I think CompTIA should continue...

    Private Cloud Coverage

    Private Clouds...now has anyone had the opportunity to build one? I did a Harvester HCI environment a couple years back...never really put it to use - mostly because I got busy with other projects, but it was a fun little time waster. LOL

    Happy Holidays!! What Are Your Traditions?

    Well, as my family is basically in transition - kids are all adults now, our traditions are changing. We make cookies or pumpkin bread for our neighbors. The church on the 24th part of our candlelight service and is now becoming somewhat of a tradition for me, I end up preaching Sunday after...

    Password Change Requirement

    I seem to remember she took away your Man-Card over it. But you can remember it how you like. I do have photos and receipts...so... When we did Summit in Chi-Town, I remember it was an hour just to go back and forth from O'Hare to the airport. In fact, the last night I was there, I stayed in...

    Firefox Processes Launching

    It's my "Fedora-approved" solution - I'm not much a fan for Firefox, I'm afraid, so I thought I'd do Trevor a solid and spare him the pain. Yeahhhh.,..that's the point. Well, okay then - I think someone mentioned that if you go into the Startup Apps area within Task Manager, you can look in...

    Password Change Requirement

    Well, if that doesn't help, you can always take a little trip back out to Las Vegas, maybe reconnect with Laurie while saving the need to action off your machine-guessable password for about the cost of an Uber in Chicago. But let this song that I crafted on Suno.ai serve though...there are...

    Firefox Processes Launching

    Well, here's what you do - Hold the Windows key, press R. Type "appwiz.cpl" Find Firefox in the list of installed apps. Click Uninstall. Reboot system. Problem solved. /r

    So...Network+ I thought there wouldn't be a book...

    Well, I don't think the sale has been done yet...but books don't come around that fast, so one might wonder. I'm not sure if it's a communications failure - my guess is that perhaps CompTIA walked that bit back? One concern I did hear during the Summit was about getting access to training...

    So...Network+ I thought there wouldn't be a book...

    And I was told over and over at Summit that CertMaster Perform was going to be the de facto text, rather than a study guide/printed book - that there wouldn't be a book. I was even asked, directly, "why would you even want a book, etc etc" And then, one of our curriculum folks sent this to me...

    The name has been changed on the CASP+ Certificate

    The best change, however, is what you find in your couch cushions.
