Yet another Brainbench Certificate
I have passed a yet another Brainbench test and got a certificate in Computer Technical Support. I would say I had to answer too much questions about things which I use really rarely. But anyway – I did it.
Got Connected
I just got an internet connection at home :)
it is an ADSL on 512kbps, but unfortunately I can’t afford any better for the time being. Anyway, this is quite enough for web, mail, FreeNX and SSH :)
Registered in the College
I have registered for the Bachelor program of Computer Science in the Nicosia’s Campus of Intercollege. This semester I will be taking four classes all of which a computer related. I have got Artificial Intelligence, Object Oriented Programming, Computer Organization and Architecture and Software Development.
Most of the classes are night ones, so I will still have a lot of time during the day.
I’ve been playing around (so popular these days) LinkedIn and I (also) found this tool to be quite interesting and useful. There are many ways one may make a use out of it. My ones:
- Get all my useful connections at one place accessible from anywhere
- Make it possible for my contacts to change their profile them selfs :)
- Find my old contacts and never loose them again
- Get new connections with different people
I have already connected to some people and I am continuing to expand my network. The only problem is that in order to undestand the whole beauty of the tool, one need to spend some time around checking it from the different sides, but mostly, people do not want to spend time, so many people to whom I have sent invitation just created their profile and left. I still can see them, but first of all I do not get the full picture of their current status and second – I do not get any more connections through them :(
I hope that one day either they will come back by them selfs to study the tool more, or that I will have some opportunity to meat with them and show them how cool it is :)
BTW, I have put a button (logo) in the right-side of this blog, linking directly to my profile on LinkedIn, so if you want to check it out, feel free to get there and don’t forget to add me as a connection ;)
Updated Flickr photos
I have updated my Flickr photos by putting some new stuff (taken recently) as well uploading some old stuff which was not there.
