Re: MCTIP computer technician course
Hi, There are video courses for MCITP which would cost you a lot less and you can learn at home at your free time. Those MCITP certificates aren't worth anything anyway - when someone wants to hire you, he would like to check your experience, not your certificates. Hetz 2011/2/20 amichay p. k. am1chay@gmail.com I prefer to choose this course, at least now, because it will give me a useful profession, and I finish it before the beginning of my military service. In addition, after the military service I can work as a computer technician, and to finance my studies in CS Course on Linux can be a gift to me, if I sign up computer technician course. amichay בתאריך 20 בפברואר 2011 09:36, מאת Lior Kaplan kaplanl...@gmail.com: I can't comment on the MCTIP course, but I think there're cheaper Linux courses.

TA.pm, Wednesday 23/2 How to get involved in an Open Source project
Hi, at the next Tel Aviv Perl Mongers meeting I am going to give an introduction on how to get involved in an open source project. Hopefully This presentation is going to be interesting to anyone who wants to get involved if if s/he does not want to write code. I am interested in seeing how web and graphic designers or people who can write nice text can get involved in the project. Both in English and in Hebrew. Part of this presentation is me learning what are the questions that people who are not developers need to get answered before they can contribute to a project. I'll use the example of the web site of Perl in Israel http://perl.org.il/ . I'll show some of the tools needed for this specific project such as using Subversion, HTML, CSS, and a template system but of course we will also see some Perl code for those who are interested in that. The main point I guess is the communication among people and the social aspect of a project. We'll see. Some more ideas about the presentation can be read here: http://szabgab.com/blog/2011/02/tel-aviv-perl-mongers-getting-started-in-open-source.html I'd be happy if you forwarded this invitation to your web designer friends as well Tel Aviv Perl Mongers: http://telaviv.pm.org/ regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/ Perl Ecosystem Group http://perl-ecosystem.org/ ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Those MCITP certificates aren't worth anything anyway - when someone wants to hire you, he would like to check your experience, not your certificates. It depends, if your resume is being screened by a hiring manager, it is unlikely that they will pay attention to your certificates. If it is being screened by a clueless person in personel, that is one of the first things they look for. So if you were for example, to send your resume to one of the people here who post that they are starting a startup, or work for a large company and need someone to work for/with them, then the certificates are not going to mean anything. If you were going to send your resume, blindly to personel at the same large company, the certificates will get you first consideration, or not just thrown in the trash. There are places that desire them, such as body shops, and schools. Having an MCITP certificate might get you a job teaching at one of those schools. My son, who is a published expert in his field, does not have a CS degree, and his employer, a body shop, keeps pushing him to get an MCITP because there is no certificate in his field, and it looks good on a resume when they are shoping him around. An MS or PhD would look better, but they would require real work and expense. He's waiting until they agree to pay for the classes and tests. Note that these things go bad with old age. The hot certificate 10 years ago, an MCSE is worthless now, and in 5-10 years an MCITP will be too. You will have to start over again if you want to be certified. IMHO if you want to go to a class and make some money out of the army, go to cooking school, or take a course to get a license as an electrician, plumber (instalator) or gas fitter. Those you can use to get work right away and pay fairly well, and you can work nights while you go to school during the day. On the other hand, if you want something less involved, study for and get an amateur radio license. They you can get in contact and make friends with people in various companies and business that will respect your ability to study, learn, and communicate, which will open more doors than a few letters after your name on a resume.

Advice Needed - Bye Bye Nokia!
Hello all, I need you advice, before I make a horrible mistake - so please bear with me and don't flame ;-) I recently opened a small business and wanted a smartphone with a dedicated line. I ended up buying a Nokia E72 (about 2 months ago). It's an OK phone, but it has a few problems. Then Nokia made their announcement (as I am sure almost all of you know) about the future OS, so I got mad and even though I always used Nokia phnes (since my first Nokia 6120D back in the mid '90s) I am willing to switch... A friend of mine recommends the Samsung Galaxy S - a very good choice for my needs: Runs Android 2.2 and works perfectly with Push for mail and calendar sync (the Nokia isn't so great in that department...) I now have to find a way to cancel my Nokia E72 purchase and switch to the Galaxy. I also heard about some kind of a Big Brother issue with Android devices? Any of you know how to get out of the Nokia purchase? The Galaxy wasn't available at the time. Am I making a mistake? Is this a smart move? Is it really a good phone? Thanks!

Re: Advice Needed - Bye Bye Nokia!
Hi Amichai, I'm in the exact position as you with the same phone, yet I'm not planning to switch for several reasons: - Battery life: Try to find any smart phone which can hold more then a day without charging. Good luck with that. I just found this saturday night that I forgot to charge my Nokia since Tuesday, and I used it extensivly: emails, talking, surfing on the net - and the battery wasn't drained fast. - Email and Calendar syncing - I don't know about you, but I'm using Google Calendar with my E72, and it pushes the email and calendar perfectly. - Yes, Nokia sold their soul to go with Microsoft, so? It's not that they're ditching all the E series today, it will take at least a year until they'll have some Windows Phone 7 only phones catalog. Meanwhile they will continue giving support to your (and mine) phones. - My girl friend has Galaxy S, it's great with sync, surfing the net and everything, but when it comes to battery life, her phone will die, while my phone will barely drop a single line in the battery indicator. All in all, it's really how you look at this situation: as a business man/freelancer or as a private person. I, as a hosting provider, needs my phone to work in god-knows what conditions, and I need it to work continuously without reaching for a charger, and my Nokia E72 does that much better then Galaxy S.

Did you get any kind of source or offer for the source as the licenses require? Kaplan 2011/2/17 Amichai Rotman amic...@iglu.org.il Hi all, Just wanted to share my experience with this little device... As some of you know, I asked which one should I buy: Amazon Kindle or this one. I am glad I have bought this one. It's all I need! I have 130 books on the internal 1.2GB memory and I still have lots of space. I bought it so I can carry around all those 1000+ pages technical books. Pros: Runs Linux! Small size. Light weight. Lots of space (can work with an MicroSD card, up to 32GB). Supports Hebrew (none of the other readers out there do). Long battery life. Cons: e-vrit eshop: Very uncomfortable to browse the e-vrit website and shop for books (Both from the desktop and from the device). While browsing from the device, it opens a page on the local FS that asks you to follow a link to enter the online shop. This page comes up after connecting to the WiFi network, so they could easily take you there directly after the connection was made... You cannot search for books by author, and if you find an author you like, it is not possible to click the name to access all the books available by that author. This is true for both the device and the desktop sites. Note: The site accessible from the device is maintained by Newpan and the site accessible from the desktop is maintained by Steimazky A small number of books are available on the shop. No Sci-Fi books at all. No old books (those books I bought as a kid and are out of print are great candidates for this format). When listening to MP3 files - even with the volume all the way up, it was too low to hear in a noisy environment. Granted - I only tested Podcasts, not music. Slow response while switching between books and display modes (full screen, back to the main menu). flipping pages work fast, though. Terrible for photos / pictures. Too dark, no colors and slow. The books' covers and in-book diagrams and line art look great! User Experience: As I mentioned, I am very happy with the device. It is very light and under the right lighting conditions it is very clear and fun to read from. Using it under the sun was even better than under florescent light. I downloaded a sample book from the Barns Noble site (what they call a 'NookBook) and transfered it to the device directly (an .epub file) - and begun reading immediately! no DRM, no conversion - out of the download! I called their Customer Support (voice - I needed to hear it) and asked if it is because it's a sample. the representative said the sample is technically the same as the full book! Over the course of the last three years I've read very few books, mostly technical books by the computer, but since I've bought this device I have read more than 70 pages of a Hebrew thriller, and a few pages of some technical books and got the epub version of a 1500 page book I was wondering how to carry around with me... Conclusion: Very good buy for those of you who need the Hebrew support. Not very expensive. No dual display. No color display - but perfect for reading books!

Ez 2011/2/20 Hetz Ben Hamo het...@gmail.com Hi Amichai, I'm in the exact position as you with the same phone, yet I'm not planning to switch for several reasons: - Battery life: Try to find any smart phone which can hold more then a day without charging. Good luck with that. I just found this saturday night that I forgot to charge my Nokia since Tuesday, and I used it extensivly: emails, talking, surfing on the net - and the battery wasn't drained fast. - Email and Calendar syncing - I don't know about you, but I'm using Google Calendar with my E72, and it pushes the email and calendar perfectly. - Yes, Nokia sold their soul to go with Microsoft, so? It's not that they're ditching all the E series today, it will take at least a year until they'll have some Windows Phone 7 only phones catalog. Meanwhile they will continue giving support to your (and mine) phones. - My girl friend has Galaxy S, it's great with sync, surfing the net and everything, but when it comes to battery life, her phone will die, while my phone will barely drop a single line in the battery indicator. All in all, it's really how you look at this situation: as a business man/freelancer or as a private person. I, as a hosting provider, needs my phone to work in god-knows what conditions, and I need it to work continuously without reaching for a charger, and my Nokia E72 does that much better then Galaxy S. Hetz 2011/2/20 Amichai Rotman amic...@iglu.org.il Hello all, I need you advice, before I make a horrible mistake - so please bear with me and don't flame ;-) I recently opened a small business and wanted a smartphone with a dedicated line. I ended up buying a Nokia E72 (about 2 months ago). It's an OK phone, but it has a few problems. Then Nokia made their announcement (as I am sure almost all of you know) about the future OS, so I got mad and even though I always used Nokia phnes (since my first Nokia 6120D back in the mid '90s) I am willing to switch... A friend of mine recommends the Samsung Galaxy S - a very good choice for my needs: Runs Android 2.2 and works perfectly with Push for mail and calendar sync (the Nokia isn't so great in that department...) I now have to find a way to cancel my Nokia E72 purchase and switch to the Galaxy. I also heard about some kind of a Big Brother issue with Android devices? Any of you know how to get out of the Nokia purchase? The Galaxy wasn't available at the time. Am I making a mistake? Is this a smart move? Is it really a good phone? Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] eVrit - Weird FS Problem
Well - I am answering myself - how weird is that So I found out the reason the internal FS was corrupt, and that was the reason it was mounting read only. Running fsck.vfat on it did not work, so I had to format it - that solved the problem: I copied all files to the memory card, formatted the main memory, and moved all files back to the main memory. FYI Amichai.

It happened after I used Calibre to transfer a bunch of files to the device (using the 'Send to Device' menu defaulting to the main memory. I use Calibre as a regular user and trying to remounting it read/write didn't work Any ideas? Thanks!
