Update from the Road

Heya kids. Jut wanted to drop a quick note and let everyone know that I'm alive and well in Fremont CA. The accomodations for my Unitek A+, Net+, and Security + boot camp are clean and spacious. Folks have been great and I'm looking forward to the first class session. We're all sitting in the room as I type this and just waiting for the class to start.

Not much more than that to report.

Oh - to my San Fran peeps - looks like a friend of mine and I may wind up taking the BART up there next Wednesday - anyone around/free?

Oooo, techie cert boot camps. Yeah, I did one of those to get my MCSE and my CCNA certs. It's an intense experience, but worth it. :) When you getting back to the East Coast?

Yeah - pretty psyched about it, I have to say.

I'm not sure how much it will help me directly with my job, but it's stuff that I should know anyway.

Plus? Not so bad on a resume.

Getting back on the 1st.

As Jason told me once, in the tech industry, certs without experience are mostly worthless, but certs PLUS experience are pure gold. :)

Enjoy! Jenny and I will be visiting around the third week in August, btw.

You're in boot camp?
Do you have to do obstacle courses in the rain and end up covered in mud and blood but triumph despite the lousy conditions?
'Cause that's hot.

"'Cause that's hot."

Yes... yes I do. I have to do that exactly.
