Sam Joseph Help HPU Students learn "Real World" Spreadsheet and Database skills

I'm teaching a database/spreadsheet course at HPU this fall to accounting/management grad students as well as the odd computer scientist, and I have all this boring sample data from the textbook regarding fictional ice-cream companies. Pretty tedious stuff. I had this idea to re-create the data based on the "The Office" so all the accounts/salespeople names would be taken from the show.

What I'd also really love to do is get some actual XL/access data from some real companies to show… Continue

Tonu Apelu Is CCNA worth it in Hawaii?

I'm a college student finishing up my last year in school. I am currently majoring in Political Science and minoring in I.T. During my I.T. courses my professors would always comment about how there is a great demand for CCNA individuals here in the pacific region. I have done a fair amount of research about this certification, however I would like to ask those who have been in the "real world" if I should pursue this certification, and is it useful here in Hawaii. My main goal is to give back t… Continue

Daniel Leuck Oracle: The Worst Thing to Happen to Java

Like many, I've long maintained that Oracle is the worst possible steward for the Java platform. Their corporate philosophy is fundamentally incompatible with the environment of openness and community engagement at Sun that gave rise to Java. When Sun was on the rocks, we all prayed that IBM or Google would pick up the Ja… Continue

Brian Our servers incorporate unicorn horn technology!

Hello, My name is Brian and I have an IT problem.

(Hi Brian)


Actually, we all do.

I started off a geeky, unsociable, and shy nerd hiding behind racks of whining fans, choking on stifling recycled air yet somehow always wearing a jacket. I enjoyed spending hours upon hours in dimly lit rooms configuring unix daemons and rebuilding systems. Sound familiar? No? I guess your 1999 was better than mine!

Last weekend I don't think I even used a computer… Continue

Brian Apple Knows Best

Full Disclosure: I've no vested interest in either but I do have some slight anti-Apple bias.

Lots of buzz lately with the very promising launch of the iPhone 4 which is now out (sorta) coming on the tails of the successful iPad launch and Android's success continuing through the recent Evo 4G giving Sprint a decent phone - finally and the upcoming Droid X through Verizon. Inevitable compari
