    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    So, my thought on this is that CompTIA's leadership and ownership has decided that profit is more essential than the high-ground it once had by being a non-profit. But again, when you're non-profit, you are always on the edge of financial collapse because you don't/or can't make too much money...

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    So, I finally am getting caught up on things. It's been a wild ride this month as try to keep Anthology from slowly taking over my life. What I see, first of all, is that the Essentials series is not for established IT specialists. This was brought up a few years ago at CompTIA Summit (I want...

    So many red dots...

    Certainly has been. Thanks for the shoutout! Thanks for that. I don't like being too long away from the CIN motley crew.

    So many red dots...

    No, not quite so glamorous. Just buried in the deluge of software rollout issues. First it was a lot of them - now it's fewer, but more complex. Ahh... I was starting to get the itch to start up a degree program myself...but...not sure if the return on investment is there for me... Good luck...

    All tee'd up!

    So many red dots...

    Hey CIN: It seems like more than a minute since I've been about. We've been deploying Anthology Student here at the school, and that has dominated all of my time. I didn't want y'all to think I disappeared or abandoned you or something. And then I come back to a whole long...

    Cloud +003 update?

    So, what I ended up doing was taking the Microsoft MS900 and SC900 exams. This gave me more than enough CEUs to reup on my Cloud+. For me, I think that's a better route, since I have aspirations of getting more certified in Azure. /r

    CIN TTT Series: SecurityX v5

    So, our college has been using a homegrown SQL database (actually, four of them) for our Student Information System - this is the system we use to manage student records for the school. While home grown is nice, it's hard when you don't always have the programming support for it, and when...

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    I haven't heard of anything like that - personally, I'd rather go that route - that way, I can go through the refresher training for changes and have the cert at the end. I suspect it's mostly predicated on the Security+ and how the US DoD leans on it very heavily for security certification...

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    Okay, let's see if I can clear this up... 1) Sitting the SecurityX exam does not automatically renew the Cloud+ credential. The only exam that you can take that will automatically renew the Cloud+ is the Cloud+. 2) Sitting the SecurityX exam will provide 25 CEUs towards renewal of Cloud+ if...

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    Totally misread the question - yes, there's that too. I was thinking about the renew-chain for the core certs.

    Passed CloudNetX

    Congrats on your latest win! /r

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    It does not. You have to either recertify Cloud+ by taking an upgraded exam, or through the CEU process. I did that this year when I took courses for MSFT Azure. Taking both MS900 and SC900 gave me more than enough CEU credit to update my Cloud+. /r

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    Well, I think I'm going to leave the debate here - as I really don't fancy a more political conversation (the last few years have made me weary of it all, to be honest). I think we all bring up some good points and concerns and I think we can all agree that this particular situation is not a cut...

    An A+ History question

    Again, pretty much the same story here too. I think I remember the CDP credential - I never took it or anything - a mite bit before my time.

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    I won't deny that a number of for-profit schools have created a sense of distrust around the prop-education sector, but as I mentioned, the cost to educate a student is no different, whether it's public or private - this is the part we don't hear about. The government subsidizes public...

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    *sigh* - I know I'm going to regret this post...but...okay, I'll go play in traffic here... The doge.gov website went online as of this morning which, we hope, will provide an accounting of, not just the fraud, but the wasted spending in various departments. I personally look forward to...
