Time: The Great Enemy of Bloggers Everywhere

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

OK, OK, so I suck.  I haven’t completed the 7 Habits of Highly Effective IT, as I had intended to.  I still feel that it will be a good series, but it will likely be sporatic in it’s scheduled release of new articles.  I just simply do not have the time right now.  I’m starting a new job, I’m going back to school and back to the gym (determined not to be a fat guy anymore), and I still have my family and church obligations, so time has become my enemy.  So I will complete the series, I just do not know exactly when.

School’s In And I’m Ready To Go

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Well, it’s official, I’m off and running on my IT degree.  I logged in to my student portal this evening and my entire program is loaded and ready to go, just waiting for me to complete the assessments and Capstone project.  My goal is to complete it in 3 years, unless I can do it sooner by buring through the material I already know, after having spent the last 15 plus years in the IT field.  I just need to look at the pre-assessments and see what assignements are necessary to complete the course.

Admittedly, much of this degree isn’t about learning, so much as it is about validating the knowledge I already have, though I am looking forwad to gaining additional insight into software development and creative and technical writing, especially since I’m already enjoying writing so much with my blog.  Who knows, maybe I can go on to get a Master’s degree, and become an adjuct professor for a local community college, that would certainly be living the dream.
