In the email this morning

An announcement from BrainBench:

BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO BRAINBENCH IN JULY!

* All tests in the Branbench library will be FREE from July 1 – July 14

* On July 8, a new capability will be added to your account whereby employers can leave their e-business card with you

* Over the years you have asked for greater employer exposure – well, starting July 15, employers will have FREE access to our database of interested jobseekers

* All this in celebration of member 5 million last month!

For what it’s worth, I do hold a couple of the free brainbench cetrifications. I don’t think they’re worth a whole lot per se, but I felt like having their tech support certs in addition to the A+ certification made for a more well-rounded certification section of my resume than just the A+. (Which reminds me, I should probably get to work on either the Network+ or an MCP exam sometime soon.)I guess I’m saying it couldn’t hurt, if they’re letting you take all of their tests for free, to take a look. I’m more interested to see what this exposure of interested jobseekers will accomplish though. You can bet I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

    One of the things that greeted me upon my return to the office was our spare laptop sitting in my desk chair with a note that it was “dead”. Obviously, this is not what I wanted to see. So I tried booting the machine up, and everything seemed to be going along just fine, the…

    Forget what I said in the last post, Yahoo has apparently decided that new groups get the ads at the top. Big old flashing, intrusive ads too, yeech! So I deleted that group and started one over at Topica. Same deal, you can subscribe over there in the left margin. I’ve set the list to…

    I tell you, working for a larger organization, supporting 10 times the number of users I used to support and supporting a wider variety of tools, sure keeps you on your toes. This week I spent time battling a spyware infection, troubleshooting Word macros, Excel formulas, PowerPoint graphics, Outlook options, printer connections, and Acrobat Reader…
