I got A’s in both Technical Communication and Information Security courses. Now I am taking Information Technology Project Management and Windows Administration. I am really excited about Windows Administration. Looks like a very comprehensive course that appears to be fun. Utilizing VMWare and Windows Server 2008 as tools for the course. Project management I am less excited about but I know it is a necessary evil to have with an Information Technology major.

I have started looking for other jobs. At work I have successfully figured out compatibility issues, integrated additional software steps in programs, and developed programs to make production faster; however, the company does not offer many incentives for me to stay with them. I have started applying at companies such as Amazon, IBM, etc…. Big named companies. I want to get a job at one of them so that I will have more options available to me.

Yup, so I have been working a lot more. My boss has a serious illness so he has taken a leave of absence. And the other software developer has been put on a big project, so I inherited all the other software projects. As a net result, stress seems to be flowing from my pores. I am gaining a lot of knowledge at the same time. Sometime a guy at work can help me but it isn’t often.

It is a Friday though, and the week will be over with!

So, Work has been more demanding lately. Projects and learning currently have been taking a toll. Found out I need to learn C++ along with my visual basic. I also apparently need to learn how to code better with arrays. I suck at utilizing arrays but I guess practice makes perfect.

I do feel good though since I have been completing projects, but new ones seem to just keep on piling on. I guess that is a good thing, means we are keeping busy. I was told it is worrisome when there is nothing to do. That is when you have to fear for your job.

School has been okay, the normal pace like always it seems. Right now taking Technical Communication and Information Security. I am liking Information Security but technical communication is kind of dry. All of the programming at work; hopefully, will pay off in the long run. So that when I am ready to apply for a new job it will look better that I have had a years worth of programming experience.

This is Rock That Body by Black Eyed Peas and there is various anime scenes synced up. I, by no means made this, just loved the music and how well is syncs up with the scenes!

Unix administration is definitely interesting. Learning how to use scripts and perl scripting is fun. I may have to look up on how to do scripts at login of a system.

The CCNA/Networking course is more business and how to set up networks while consulting the customer that wants a new network installed or upgrade an existing network. I am not planning on being a consultant but will maybe manage network systems which is still important to know to be able to inform my boss whether or not a switch, router, or computer server to be upgraded.

I am learning quite a bit right now! I love it!

Review of Kittle’s at Easton Mall, Ohio, On Google Plus

Below is my review:
I have to admit, walking into this store was intimidating.

My fiancee and I, when we first walked in, were greeted by a woman named Rose. She was not the salesman type(very pushy) instead she said to take our time looking around. We told her we were in here looking for a couch. She basically showed us the area where all the couches were and was very helpful but was not pushy on making a sale.

That gave a good bonus in my book.

We ended up going in there again and getting a pushy salesman who we did not like at all.

After a third time walking in the store we completed a sale. It was great purchasing a high quality couch. It took 5 weeks before we got the couch. The shipping guys weren’t up to par on quality. I expected the couch to be wrapped in plastic, but it wasn’t. This deducted one star. They rubbed a portion of the couch on the entry way which I feared was going to leave a stain, but it did not. If it did, I would’ve complained and told my fiancee not to sign the sheet that absolved them of any destruction.

This store is great, but make sure you tell them you want some sort of plastic wrapped up in the couch or furniture when delivering, they could cause stains or wear on it.

So as Winter semester ends, it is ironic that I have a higher grade in Math Statistics than I do in my database course. The reason being is that my database course grade is heavily dependent on this group project I have.

Overall I am enjoying my experience I gaining knowledge in both fields. Next semester I get to deal with Unix Administration(something I believe wholeheartedly in) and advanced computer networks(specifically learning CCNA certification). I am very excited about these two courses. Can’t wait until I get to work with them.

I am thinking about changing the domain of this site. If I do, I will have to let my affiliate know so that they can adjust there site accordingly.

Anyways, that is all.

Magetech out.

Okay, so classes started up for me already!

I am taking Database Management Systems or COMP281 and Statistical Concepts or Math215 at Franklin University. I can tell this will be a challenging semester.

I have messed around with databases, mostly for backing up and restoring, so we will see how much MORE info I will learn for it.

Statistical Concepts will really be challenging. It seems to involve a lot of terminology that I have never dealt with. Kind of concerns me whether or not I will get an A in the class. We will see how well I get it done though.

I am excited and finished most of the beginning assignments. Will be working on more and more on schoolwork. I have realized that this is not what people wanted, they probably wanted more tips on maintaining a home server but until I get my degree and get to where I want I will be doing school work over my server. I have been doing my weekly backing up and updating information on the server though and making sure to dust it out on occasion.
