    Security Consulting for the small business (long question)

    Yes the whole issue of invisus or any hacking tool is the liability you have or don't have versus the clients you sell your software. The company has and uses free tools forom the internet and repackages them. They sell the license to a software wholeseller who can cause a little stir in the...

    how come there is no mainframe thread?

    OK, here is the question.. I have 20 plus years of mainframe, and unix experience (also some NT, Win2k) I am going back to mainframe (focus on the integration, support, etc work) since my experience is unique and very useful I am getting some bites and nibbles in the job market. My question is -...

    Returning to programming

    PL/1 is not used much, I would learn C/C++, learn object oriented design and dev. Frankly in the US this is the worst time to consider programming. Also working from home is not possible in the US - I know because I have tried it and it is harder than getting a good job (which is also hard)...

    A+ certification

    Despite my strong feelings. I am starting to "buy" the idea of certification for some people may be a good idea. I have long programming experience but basically I wish to leave pure programming and use my 'other' IT experience. I have built my first PC in the early '80. I have...

    where are the news articles and the media people?

    In the meantime I have found some on zdnet. A great web-site. there is a link on - IT jobs. and some very good articles about layoff and how people cope. Being in sacramento and from the bay area I always thought this area is the worst and isolated. the funny thing no one seemed to respond to my...

    where are the news articles and the media people?

    Hmm, as we seem to be in a very bad spot now in IT I don't see too many pundits talking about it. I am frankly surprised a bit. Don't you agree ? Of course I don't read Computerworld anymore (maybe I should). Anyone seen any industry articles about the layoffs and the masses of applicants...

    Mainframe experience

    I am trying to emphasize my mainframe experience which is the first five years of my career. 15 was spent in Mini,IBM series 1, and unix(aix,solaris,hp/ux). Apparently there are plenty of openings in mainframe jobs without qualified people. Why do employees want 'recent' experience when it is...

    Security Consulting for the small business (long question)

    Hello, I am an unemployed programmer who actually does not want to program anymore. What I am doing is redefining my technical background and see what I can actually do in the IT depression we are having. In my search I ran into a company called Invisus. They are about a year old and have a...

    Career decision

    I have spent two decades as a programmer and I am burnt out. My advice therefore should be taken with a grain of salt... I am getting out - or should I say I am unemployed and will make an attempt for tech-writing. (actually I have done about a year's worth already) just that now I will do it...
