Hey Sandyman what course/courses are you taking?


I passed and sat my Comptia Network+ three weeks ago, then I sat and passed my MCP in Windows XP last week.  Modesty prevents me saying what mark I got last week blush-anim-cl.gif

Started doing MS 70-290 (Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment)this week. I hope to sit the exam in three weeks just before I go off to France on holiday.

I was thinking of doing Networks+ after I take the Apple System Administrators test.  I've had a Networks+ course in the past but never took a test for it!

You'll pass it no problem.  If I can, you can smile.gif

I look on it as a foundation course for the rest of the stuff I plan on doing.  I must say though that some of it is WAYY out of date. I ask you  10Base2 and 10 Base5 in this day and age!!!!?  smile.gif

My tutor has NEVER seen the latter and the last time he saw the former he was ripping it out wink.gif

If your Apple courses cover TCP/IP, OSI and associated stuff, save your money and do something like LPIC instead.

Also, although it is supposed to be "Platform Independent" it does tend to favour one particular OS.  Check out CompTIA's reaction to the recent European Union judgement on a certain software company and you'll see what I mean wink.gif

If you want to discuss more, PM me and let's keep things on topic wink.gif

Now I'm listening to a CD by the Klezmatics called Wonder Wheel.  This is all songs with lyrics by Woody Guthrie and it is more folk music than what the group usually plays!  Apparently when Woody died he had lots and lots of music without words and words without music.  People have been asked and are asking for the opportunity to add whatever it is that Woody didn't do with each piece.

Great music. Good fun.

Elvis Presley having hysterics trying to sing Lonesome Tonight after he adlibs "Do you look in the mirror and wish you had hair...." It was requested by a listener on the BBC's annual TV and radio charity marathon for Children in Need.

Kimmer - funnily enough yesterday I watched most of the three hours of a BBC series called Folk Britannia (recorded on the iMac). The first hour was about how British singers picked up on the American blues and folk scene. I've still got a mono LP of the Limelighters in my collection...

Early 60s, I saw quite a few Americans (mostly at the Royal Festival Hall in London) who did very well over here. Ones that spring to mind are Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee (sp?), Ramblin Jack Elliott, Pete Seeger and Weavers. Sadly I didn't keep programmes to remind me who else I saw.

Strangely, one of the most memorable songs performed by any act was "This Land is Your Land..." where the whole audience seemed to know all the words and joined in. Strange, because it wasn't "Our" land they were singing about smile.gif

 Now radio's playing Eva Cassidy's version of Over The Rainbow. Beautiful.

That's enough for now, I think! smile.gif

Just listened to some songs by a group called Red Molly which was kind of old-timey country or bluegrass.  Also listened to some music by Hank Thompson who managed to die earlier in the month without me hearing about it.  He was a honky-tonk kind of country singer and was a favorite of my father's so I heard a bit of him in my formative years; I'm afraid the number of times "Squaws Along the Yukon" was played probably could've been considered "child abuse!"

QUOTE
There's a salmon-colored girl who sets my heart awhirl
Who lives along the Yukon far away
Where the Northern Lights they shine she rubs her nose to mine
She cuddles close and I can hear her say

Ooga ooga mooska which means that I love you
If you'll be my baby I'll ooga ooga mooska you
Then I take her hand in mine and set her on my knee
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me

She makes her underwear from hides of grizzly bear
And bathes in ice cold water every day
Her skin I love to touch but I just can't touch it much
Because her fur lined parka's in the way
Ooga ooga mooska...
[ guitar ]
She has the Air Corps down the Sourdoughs hang around
Chechakos try to date her night and day
With a landing gear that's fine and a fuselage divine
And a smile that you can see a mile away
Ooga ooga mooska...
Carry me back to old Alaska
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me


VERY POLITICALLY INCORRECT!!!

It's one of those "universal" songs. I told you this already ... but I'm working on a parody of this song for our Friends of the Library mystery. laugh.gif

Oh, I also didn't know he'd died. Sad. sad.gif

One of the guys in our shop gets very angry and leaves when Jethro Tull is played.  He blames them for "winning" hard rock band of the decade or something like that over Metallica.  I try not to laugh about it!  smile.gif

Currently?

Our cat (Sweety) 'complaining' that she can't get out of the computer room and her bathroom and the adjoining bed room. My wife is trying to rest up for the coming visit of the Grandkids and the busy week ahead! clap.gif Don't feel sorry for Sweety, she's still got her three-tiered cat tower, fresh food, running water and her covered litter box! WOW.gif If she got out she'd sit and 'cry' at my wife's door! wallbash.gif Other than that, just the comforting whisper of my iMacs fan! smile.gif And those strange 'noises' coming from my head! eek2.gif
