Hello Joshua,
Yes, I have been to Nigeria twice now. Held a class in Abuja and also one in Lagos. No plans to return at this point but if our host (Digital Jewels) decides to host another class we will make it happen.

If you aren’t able to attend the IT Manager Institute in Dubai, you might consider attending the Institute by webinar or through the Self Study. Details are at http://itmanagerinstitute.com/training/agenda.

Best regards,
Mike

Comment on My business computer upgrade choice by itlever

Mitch, my Lenovo ThinkPad is beefed up quite a bit for speed and capacity because I expect to use it for 3 or more years. I added memory, extra disk and other things to make it fast. The order system on Lenovo steps you through your options like you find with most vendors.
I know this isn’t much detail but it is what I can share with you.

Just curious if the “Sample Resume” was ever posted? I have searched the archives with no luck. Cheers

I know its a little late to post.. but you do have some upgade capability on the thinkpads.. been supporting them for years, and like you have found they have been the most reliable out of the top 4 pc manufactures.
I have upgraded, Ram, CPu’s and Hard drives to improve performance

Comment on Download this simple project scheduling tool by itlever

This tool won’t do many of the things you can do with Microsoft Project and other software, , , it is much simpler and without lots of features.

What I would do to track changes that impact the timeline or that are new tasks added to the project would be to color code these changes so they stand out from the original. It’s a simple way to monitor timeline changes and slightly more effort than what a sophisticated project management tool will do.

Hi Mike,

How do you use this tool when there are change requests accepted and you need to compare the current project schedule to the original baseline?
