Spring Cleaning - very minor updates.
14 years ago
Well, I started cleaning up my userpage. I felt it a bit cumbersome, and some of the stuff listed has been archived or deleted. I'm having a little more assistance with my Character Reference and Commission Policy. I've been meaning to re-write both now for months.
I won't be taking down any art. I don't believe anyone ever really has to worry about that. I bought the art to share, not just to enjoy myself. Though I may move some of the submissions to scraps, I haven't decided yet on just what would qualify. If I move something you, as an artist made for me, from submissions to scraps, I ask that you not take it to heart. I very much enjoy the art that I have commissioned and it is not out of disrespect, resentment or dislike of the art that I move it.
AC is coming soon, just not soon enough. Hoping to run into friends, artists and generally anyone I haven't met yet :D I am especially hopeful to meet in person a few particular people I've had the pleasure of chatting with and just never had the opportunity to meet.
I've bought more of the supplies needed to finish my Iksar Mask and Fydbac has been doing a magnificent job with it! Seriously, she is one artist, that if you haven't yet, you NEED to commission her in some form or another. She is an extremely mutli-talented individual and VERY fair for her prices.
DJ_mixer uploaded pages from his TMNT comic that debuted last year in one of the Doujinshi, and was released in pamphlet format at FC2010 I highly encourage people to go check it out.
Haven't really had a chance to contact all the artists with outstanding art yet, though more art is getting completed, I'm sure you've noticed as those artists upload to their galleries. I'm pretty far behind in uploading it here, and for that I apologize.
As to why I'm still so busy, for those that care, I've been hitting the certification track hard. My employer requires these pieces of paper to show a minimum level of competence, knowledge and ability. Luckily they also pay for the training and the exams, so my only true investment out of pocket is time.
I've completed my self study for CompTIA's Server+. This included reading the CompTIA recommended material, doing subject studies on wiki, hitting vendor sites for memory, mobo's, CPU's, other hardware/storage and the NOS's to ensure I had the latest information since most of the books/articles were well outdated. I've been managing servers for some time so most of the material was review for me. I should be taking that exam shortly, just waiting for the voucher.
I'll be moving back into the CCNA study mode at this time. I've been through the 4 base semesters a few years back, kept up on most of the material since. I need to revisit sub netting, IPv6, CIDR, VLSM and specifications (like hold down timers, hello times, etc) of routing protocols. I've been managing a small LAN over the last 3 years, and assisting a larger company with their LAN for a bit longer. I figure it's just time to finally nab that piece of paper since I've been doing the job and my employer is willing to foot the bill. I might push into the CCNA/Security or CCNP arena's shortly after.
On track for later this year, I should be going back to nab the Windows7 MCITP. I already have the Server Administrator and it can't hurt a resume to have both the server/client sides of the house.
After that I still have to figure out when I'm going to get my last 50 credits to complete my bachelors, work toward the VCP as well as CompTIA Linux+ (for fun).
Employer has informed me I need to start prepping for my CISSP and CEH as well.
So while things aren't ever dull, I always seem to have something in the queue. The positive side, is once I get all that done, and they put more on my plate I should be fairly competitive for those higher paying positions, meaning I can see about hiring more artists at a time ;p
