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.

    I’m reimaging a machine this morning. This one proved to be a little tricky as the hosed OS was masking an actual hardware failure. So while I knew I could fix the blue screens with a nice, clean reinstall, I couldn’t even start the reinstall until I identified that the RAM was bad. A quick…

    Craig wrote, in response to my post about using the Googlebar in Firefox, that he uses a toolbar from http://www.firefoxtoolbar.com that has many more options. Apparently, only the Standard Toolbar linked on the download page is compatible with the 1.0 release but hopefully the specialized ones will be soon. I might just have to take…

    Way back when, Linspire offered their OS for free for a limited time. I signed up for that, mostly in order to satisfy my curiousity. Eventually I got the ISO downloaded and tried to use it to build a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation. Unfortunately the install crashed. Since the install was kind of a…

  • Windows Defender again

    I noted last week that it seemed odd that the new definitions I was prompted to download were dated 4 days ago. I’ve been prompted to download 2 updates since then, so obviously, they are updating the def files often. However last night’s definitions were dated Feb. 15, 6 days from the date they were…
