@Minion-Queen I'm a little worried for our foreign members in regards to MC 2017 honestly. We'll see though

Time to move the convention someplace more tropical!!

How about Dallas?

Are they moving outside of the US by July?

Maybe not this July but some are moving towards Texas leaving. Not so much Brexit-style, but still peacefully.

This might seem kind of off the wall but, Customer Service skills, whether they are internal or external customers.

Project management

While I agree these are both good to have, neither are a L0 requirement. They are things you can/might learn while on the job moving toward L1+

L0/L1? Where did those come from? I'm missing something.

This might be more of an interview type situation, but I'm going to pose it anyways.

Give the student a bunch of parts, such as:

• A Router/switch

• parts to build several computers

• Different OS's

• A USB stick of files

• Networking cables

Give the student x hours to build a working network from parts and clean disks. I want to see a shared folder from one computer on the other. I believe that this would show a number of different things.

• Basic hardware technologies

• Basic networking technologies

• Basic OS tasks, how to install and setup, create users, create a shared folder with the files from the USB disk.

• Project Management because they had to be productive with their time.

Project management

Means they want to own your life while paying you peanuts.

I want to go home and feel sick, but I have so much to do here at work.

That's an odd desire man

Not really feeling that great. If I'm not feeling good, then I'd rather be home.

Seems to be back up.

I need new monitors before I can use a stand like that. Mine are too old and heavy compared to new monitors.

While you're at it, get a new camera too!

Trying to set up a demo email server. Getting ready for my first coffee of the day.

Is the coffee so intense their that you have to get ready for it?

Cleaning out the server room, getting rid of a lot of just junk. Legitimate stuff that has turned into junk with time.

@NerdyDad you'll never look at a map of north america the same ever again

NerdyDad should know this. The map of the DFW metroplex is worse.

Are you including Denton & Hillsoboro in that map?

Just another reason for Texas to secede, but that's another topic entirely.

Windows are open here, the weather is so nice.

What is this nice weather that you speak of?

We left ehh weather in TX to come home to niceish weather (for January) here. To WINTER crud I wanna go back to TX!!!!!

One day, I drove out to west Texas and ended up in New Mexico. Won't ever do that again. To me, Texas Is Home!

I avoid New Mexico as much as I can.

Are we doing maps now? I've got one...
