I had 30 somthing new at noon today...
but no new ones listed after you posted.

my Win 8 machine is offering a new IE patch... but the number is different than your link.

I finally got the new updates. The number looks different at first glance, but when you drill down into details it references the original number Bill posted

Still not showing up for me. I have manually synchronized like 10 times now.

@Dashrender said:

My WSUS server isn't picking up the update yet.

@scottalanmiller said:

@IRJ If I put everything down, it would be more than 1 page. Long ago I was told that multipage resumes were not really a good thing, (was told this by HR types). So I keep it as short as possible, and leave the rest up for conversation.

That's something for high school students and college students looking for entry level, non-tech jobs. Has no place in IT.

Can I send you my resume real quick?

When I had mine professionally done, He made it three pages. I got 4 interviews and 3 job offers in one week

Who did you go through? And actually I saw you say something about that, and that's what prompted me to start this thread.

I dont really know what you did at any of your jobs. I know you have all your skills listed on the right side, but which jobs used which skills?

There are a ton of IT jobs in my area right now. I live an hour directly east of Orlando. The odd part is that there are no jobs in Orlando, but plenty here.

Are you over by the space coast? The IT job market here in Tampa Bay is interesting. Luckily for me, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse..

Yes there are tons of IT jobs here right now

When I check the settings it was already set to 102MB. The user was still getting the error message because he did not exit and reopen outlook. Thanks everyone

Thwarted by a end user! I'm still trying to train myself to think non-technical cause / effect when presented with a IT problem, even after all these years Glad you were able to solve it!

My CIO at that.

@Bill-Kindle I'm not trying to high light any major issues, I'm trying to keep it as vague as possible as there are some people who legitimately try and some of which I consider friends.

@IRJ One thing I disagree with you on is the fact you're going to require a staff dedicated to that purpose, or take them away from their regularly scheduled duties, and you'd have to decide whose job is the most worthless you can take them off of it to set up a webinar.

True, but in the grand scheme of things its a very small price to pay for advertising.

Sure IF you are charging for advertising which was the crux of the issue.

I meant they should see it as advertising SW, not necessarily the vendor itself. I just believe the for the amount of cost, it takes to do this they will make more in the long run by attracting new members of the community. You said they have good numbers, but they dont have a strong percentage of experts. Aren't the webinars what brings the experts into the community? I mean if you are new to SW, and you see all these people asking dumb questions, isnt it going to turn you off? What value do you as an expert get out of SW?

I can find free webinars given by vendors all day long. Generally those webinars have another motive of selling you a product so I am weary of attending them. Why cant SW offer vendor free webinars to help attract the experts to the forum? After all that is what they lack, neutral experts.

Here is my question. Why does everything have to be sponsored? Its ok to get sponsors to help out on big events where major resources are required. Here is the thing that bothers me, Why are we having simple 30 minute webinars that are sponsored by someone. Really, how much do these webinars cost to run? $200 or less. That is pennies to the big behometh that website has become. It just makes you question the quality of the material. Are they going to cater the webinars to fall in line with a vendors product in the future?

Because of their staff size, it actually costs a fortune to do anything. It takes a lot of man hours to put on even a trivial event. Add to that that they are a business and all they sell is advertising, of course everything has to be sponsors. Why would they do something for free?

I have lots of complaints but that is not one. That's just business.

Now quality control, that is its own issue.

I disagree, Scott. I dont pretend to know more about business than you, but here is my take on it.

The whole feel of SW is changing from community driven to vendor driven. The webinars should be a way to attract new members to the community. Its a small price to pay compared to other means of advertising. I can tell you from the employee side of the coin, I am very skeptical when I see sponsored webinars. We get badgered by sales people on a daily basis and dont have anywhere near the budget to get involved in every new product we see. I am not 100% sure on this, but I would think MSPs are seen as more valuable to vendors and sales people since you can push their product to others.

Is anyone else skeptical when you see sponsored webinars.

I never see any webinars so.... Lol.

MSPs are seen as competition to the vendors. That's the issue going on now. They love vendors as partners but hate them in the community since they compete for customers.

I never quite fully understood why the vendors / msp's can't be partners. You would think vendors would sell the product, then point to MSP's in a user's vicinity (if one existed close) for further support, if that makes any sense.

With the ease and speed of remote support these days, why would they need an MSP to support their product? It would be cheaper and easy for them to have a centralized help desk to support it. On the rare occasion, that a tech needs to go on site, they reach out to an MSP/Partner.
