Well Monday is over from the wireless industry's point of view, and we proved one thing for sure: We weren't ready for WLNP. Too many systems, too many coding changes, too many fundamental constants in provisioning that simply are not constant anymore ( Read more... )

stustustu passed the OS exam, of course. He beat me by like 30 points! Way to go!

I am excited to report that we made the first step toward the next goal tonight. stustustu, rhysfunk and peeper164 have chosen Mike Meyer's Net+ guide for the next certification.

We all met at Barnes and Noble to page through some books and make a decision. indigowarrior came with rhysfunk. I think they are totally ( Read more... )

Hooooray! And in the words of Reepicheep in the LAST BATTLE, "Further up, and further in!"

We await word from stustustu, but his success is sure.

Net+ is next!

I truly believe that I would never have gotten this far except for the company of those who are on this pilgrimage with me. Thanks stustustu and rhysfunkNet+ is next and then "to MCP and beyond!" with maybe a couple of stop overs, and I have a few things on my "honey-do" list that ( Read more... )

Today I passed the the first of 2 tests to get the CompTIA A+ Computer Technician certification. As many of you know, this the most basic tech certification, but it is still waterwalking to me. I know it won't be for long. Soon the Sea will be as Dry Land for me. Then I'll get to find new waves to waterwalk on ( Read more... )

I added 2 people to my firends list. I am new here so my list is short now. I don't play well with others so my list may stay short.

I added wikdsushi. It was oversight not to have added her before. I don't really know how people end up being like wikdsushi. I do know that hard cider and a comfortable place to sit will get me a college education for less than ( Read more... )

What's in a name? Just about everything. My name shows both courage and cowardice. Faith and fear ( Read more... )
