I flew into Chicago last from Cincinnati, flight delayed twice, bullshit weather, cab never showed up blah blah blah. Haven't been here since back in the day when I actually did music stuff for a living. This week I'm in Oakbrook Terrace, going to a place that publishes an industry standard certific...

Can't speak for the VPN/access to the C drive, but it could have just been Windows Updates, or even just an unexpected shutdown with an open file... Your Outlook file is likely not lost and will either be named Outlook.pst or Outlook.ost it may have a 0 or 1 after it. Typically this is in C:\documen...

Just noticed you were from Ohio, what part of ohio you in? I'm in Cinci. I used to work in the audio industry (why I still come here), but moved to IT, seemed like a really easy transition to me (all signal flow....)

Story Time: I started in IT in early 2004. I was making under $10 hour at the time doing bullshit work. I now make well over 50k a year doing IT stuff. I won't say CCNA is end all certification, but it is certainly an asset. I would recommend you get a couple from different vendors. Oh and the cert ...

Ok, So I didn't say this (cause I work for a M$ partner), but whatever you do DO NOT PUT VISTA ON YOUR MACHINE. This is less of an issue if it is a desktop, mobile machines+vista=BAD.

I had something similar happen. Didn't listen and kept gigging and recording. Ended up hosing up my throat. Now I can barelly sing for half an hour without being horse for hours.... Any shot I had at being a singer is now gone. My advice is to let it heal as much as possible. If you have to gig, mak...

I'd say probably questions about what you know and what you've done. The last few phone screens I went through were an intro question, followed by a more in depth question on the same topic, followed by maybe a scenario on the same topic. Something like: Interviewer: What Cisco switches have you wor...

They are likely to be talking about Cisco commands for configuring ports. Cisco stuff is pretty intuitive but it will take a little bit of time to wrap your head around it. I'd recommend grabbing the Testout for CCNA (you can find a bittorrent of it...). Some examples of basic switch commands would ...
