Okay so I didn’t quite make it on the once per week promise.

Over the last 9 days I managed to (with the help of friends) troubleshoot and send parts to my Mom so she could have a guy at work fix her computer without me having to fly up there, which just wasn’t going to happen right now given how busy I am.  Somehow she shorted the motherboard out.

Linux+ is looming ahead, next week, and I haven’t done a lot of studying.  The certification itself is meaningless to me, but it was a command voucher I used in order to take it so I have to keep my end of the deal up.  It’s going to have to basically be a weekend cram session in order to prepare for it, because I have my CISSP study group on both Tuesday and Thursday this week.

On the technology front, I am exploring a few options to organize some of the experience and knowledge I and some friends of mine have into something possibly presentable to the general public.  Whether this will be some sort of podcast, or new blog, or just a forum has yet to be determined.  The key factor is how quickly we can bundle everything together into something a layman can understand, and push it out.  I’m really into the whole podcast idea right now, but that might just be because I have only owned an iPod for 6 weeks.

Ironically, I found myself reccomending AOL’s antivirus software yesterday, because it is free and based on Kaspersky’s engine.  The only real issue is that of anonymous data collection and privacy, so wear your tinfoil hat if you choose to install it like I did.
