I would definitely be interested in participating in said discussion. It sounds like something that would be discussed down at GangPlank. I just started going last week after the postings on this list and it is pretty darned interesting. This is an intriguing idea! Ed On 8/20/09 8:37 PM, "Trent

The major downside being that it involves getting up on a Saturday morning. Where are Installfests being held these days? What is the last Saturday in August 2009? Installfests last for several hours, so when would we want to start the consulting co-op discussion? Jason Spatafore wrote: > Sound

Re: MySQL DBA

Sounds like a good discussion to take place during the next Installfest since there's really no "agendas" at those. Plus, you may find those "diamonds in the rough" of people that may be able to enlighten you on the actual need in the market for such a venture. On Thu, 2009-08-20 at 19:40 -0700,

I just finished the Master of Science in Information Management at ASU. I guess there's nothing wrong with hiring a junior level JOAT to run LAMP, and there's certainly nothing wrong with doing this early in your career. The main downside is that unless the customer/employer gets VERY lucky, they

In my experience in big enterprise to small offices, either you have "the dude that kinda dabbles with everything", or you have quite separate roles. Primarily you would have a SQL Admin/Engineer (just sql performance/operations/engineering), Linux Engineer (os, apache, sql), and a Web Dev/Admin/E

I am used to seeing jobs involving MySQL as part of positions being advertised for a LAMP generalist. I never respond. Not only am I not particularly competent in any of the components, I have a hard time seeing myself as competent to manage that kind of stack. I actually doubt many people are r

What is a good site to check if this scanner will work with my Ubuntu Hardy Heron desktop? My daughter has it as an extra that she doesn't need and if it would work w/my computer I would take it off her hands. I have a lot of old family pictures i really should scan to save from the '30s -80's.

I am blown away you had such difficulty using a Mac. I used to hate Macs. I bought one because I was sick of Windows... Its been fantastic. Sorry you had such a bad experience, although it seems your complaints are more cosmetic than anything else. On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 8:17 AM, Dazed_75 wrote:
