Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great break!  I know I am!  (lotsa lotsa studying, and working on a patio too!  Woohooo!)

I’m making this post to let you guys know about a website that my friend Kevin launched a few weeks ago, and I think that it might be of some use to some of you.  It’s called Listifieds, and it’s a free online classifieds thing.  It works a lot like the free ads thing in the BG Daily News, except you:

1.  don’t have to go down to the Daily News office to post an ad
2.  get a dozen or so pictures to go with your ad
3.  get unlimited run time.  Ads stay (with 30 day renewals) until they sell!
4.  get UNLIMITED words to describe your item

Kevin’s really excited about it, and he should be — I think it’s a great concept.  I’ll be posting some things on there myself over the next few days.  I encourage you to at least check it out.  If you have something you’d like to sell, what the hey, throw it up there!  Who knows, it might sell!

Here’s the site: http://www.listifieds.com.  I’m going to put a link over on the right as well, if you want to find it later.

Thanks guys!  See you in a week and a half!  –ben.

Pro/Server – 6/20/2006

Today we had a nice, long day and covered three (count ‘em, three!) chapters.  We covered a LOT of material today, so make sure you really study these chapters and absorb what I’ve given you.  

Today is the last day of class before our long, 2 week break.  I’d encourage you to take these two weeks and hit your Transcenders HARD.  I mean, freakin’ HARD.  You have until August 28 to take and pass your 70-210 (or 70-270 for WinXP) certification and there won’t be any new information coming from class.  I would love to see a few of you take and pass your certification so I can just give you straight-up As.

Anyway, we’ll reconvene on July 11 and start the Server section of the class.  Come ready for fun!

Homework:

• Chapter 10 – Review Questions
• Chapter 11 – Review Questions

CompTIA Network + Training – 6/12/2006

REVOLUTION!

That’s what you guys called for right SMACK as I walked in the door.  Apparently (and not surprisingly), our book is not meeting your standards and you guys wanted to use the McGraw-Hill version.  I will check with Kathy Elson on Tuesday to try and make that happen.

Anyway, after that, we delved into Chapter Three, of our slightly-inferior book which dealt with networking hardware.  After that was out of the way, we practiced connecting RJ45 connectors to Cat5 cable.  Wooha!

Homework:

• Review Questions Chapter 3.
