Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 02, 2006 6:00pm PDTI squeezed in a little more Company of Heroes over the weekend and am really quite certain I stink at the game. I've gotten close a couple of times but cant seem to take Hill 192. I cried for a couple of hours and threw some things around in a tantrum but for some reason that didnt seem to help as much as I thought it would. Sigh.

It's quiet like a sleeping baby. A barely audible hum. With the TV on you simply can't hear it at all.

Getting kinda sick of my job. There really isn't anywhere to go. If I stay I'll be 50 and still setting up computers and telling people to shut up and reboot over and over.
I want a new job but I have a problem though. I only have an associates degree, I have a paper MCSE (just a bootcamp), and I have very little networking experience - all my job time for the last 8 years has been troubleshooting and setting up Windows desktops. Plus I'm in a small city, not close to Austin or Dallas.
What should I do? Get my current job to pay for a bachelor's degree or getting more certs or just throw my resume out there and see what sticks? And if I do throw the resume out there, where exactly should I throw it?

This was a fun little piece that I felt pretty strongly about and Remo and I did a little debating online about how true what I said actually was.

He seemed to have pretty good answers to all the questions and didn't show any of the arrogance some of the other Sony execs have portrayed lately. I think he was right on the money when he said it's content that will ultimately decide if the system succeeds or not and judging by Sony's traditional (and continued) strong presence in Japan and relations with Japanese devs, the PS3 will end up the top system just as before despite its delays.
