24 Dec 2009 in Equipping&media&software

In part one of this series I laid out the basics of project mgmt as I see them and briefly mentioned my use of FreeMind to do some brain storming / mind mapping. There are of course many resources and utilities out there that can be used instead of FreeMind – but this is the [...]

I have to preface this post by saying that neither I nor any members of CTM condone the ripping of DVDs or any other source for personal or commercial gain.

A 123 to Securing PC’s,
26 Feb 2009 in Announcements&Church IT&citrt&communities&software
I’ve been working in computing for 25yrs now and to be honest, not much surprises me anymore. Oh sure, human culpability and stupidity are ones that never cease to amaze me – but in terms of computer security I’m 99.9% confident of keeping my personal machine clean and free from harm. In 25yrs I have [...]
