Enter Altiris

2009/07/30

Well, I have had my head buried so far into Altiris (new product at work) that I have had little time to mess with much else.

I must say despite the troubles we’ve had with it (ver 7.0, bugs bit us hard), I’ve been fairly impressed with it.

It uses Linux.  That makes me like it more.  Symantec bought the company in Jan/Feb 2007.  That makes me like it just a little less.


Programmer Competency Matrix

2009/07/30

A very interesting “Programmer Competency Matrix” is available at:

http://www.starling-software.com/employment/programmer-competency-matrix.html (link pops new window)

Is it sad that as a shell/vbs/autoit/kixtart scripter I can say I hit the first (and sometimes second) level of competency on almost all of the categories?

Of course, I have had some college classes in the topics mentioned.
