Aprils Meeting Follow up

Aprils Meeting was a success!!! Dave Coover did an outstanding job with his presentation and like always Mr. Johnson provided us with great pizza....what else could you ask for? A few things talked about during the meeting were as follows:

The services that Amazon provides, such as the server farm for processing power
Google with all of their great FREE products like calender sharing and google voice
The very funny app of "I am T-Pain" check out the Obama T-Pain video on you tube

We also talked about augmented reality and the power of cameras today in everything with greater and greater facial recognition features.

Thanks to everyone that attended and remember, next time bring a classmate or a friend, or even your mom!!!

Aprils Meeting and Presentation!!!!!

Fellow AITP club members and new guests it’s that time of the month again. Please attend our meeting on Saturday the 24th and help me welcome Dave Coover a Director of Training at the AIM institute. Dave is a professional in the IT business field with years of experience. He is kind enough to come and give us a presentation on mobile computing. This should be very interactive and exciting; it is the same presentation that he gives to professionals all over the Omaha area. Not only that, I myself will be giving a short demonstration on tethering a smart phone/Pda to a computer. This will allow you to use your phone as a modem to provide high speed Internet access wherever you get cell coverage. Come and check it out!!!!!! This Saturday at 12:30 Lab 3

Hope to see everyone there.

AITP Luncheon Recap

AITP does it again!!  We enjoyed an excellent lunch at Anthony's Steakhouse and were entertained by Ron Woerner with a speech about the "Wily Hacker".  As always, Ron dazzled his audience with wit and humor while discussing the very important topic of hacking.  It was an extremely enjoyable afternoon.  Just like our monthly meetings, they too give out door prizes.  And again, attendees from ITT Tech walked away with a couple of those prizes.

Ken Duncan - Microsoft Arc Wireless Mouse
Nancy Hewitt - Microsoft Office 2007

Virtualization Presentation

We had a bonus meeting last weekend and had the pleasure of having Jodi Shely from VMWare speak.  She showed us her desktop from Blue Cross Blue Shield and how they use virtualization in their environment.  She demonstrated how she can drill down to any server on her network and do things like add RAM and CPU, and take snapshots of the server for reimaging.  You can follow all things VMWare related on the following websites:

January Meeting Recap

Thanks to all who attended the January AITP meeting at ITT Tech.  We had a great time and learned some things about VirtualBox.  Dave Cannon gave a presentation showing how to load Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine using the Sun VirtualBox software.  Both programs are free and can be downloaded here:

http://www.virtualbox.org/
http://www.ubuntu.com/


I also gave a presentation for a "virtual job hunter" using www.indeed.com and Goolge's iGoogle.  www.IGoogle.com is Google's RSS Feed reader and Indeed.com is a website that searches all the career websites from the Internet.  You can input your desired search criteria and set it up to RSS feed you the job updates EVERYDAY to your IGoogle home page.  You just check your home page everyday and you are kept current with all the open positions that are available.  This is an invaluable tool when you are ready to hit the job market.

Door prize winner:  Curtis Calloway - 16GB Flash Drive

Next Meeting:  Saturday January 30th @ 12:30pm in Lab 3
This is an added meeting because we have the opportunity to host a guest speaker from VMWare.  Please make sure you are able to attend this meeting.  Virtualization is going to be a huge thing when you graduate and any extra information you can gain from this meeting will only help you.

Bear's First Ever LAN Party

Games, food, prizes, and a rockin great time!!  That is what you missed if you didn't get a chance to make it to the LAN party last Saturday night(1-09-10).  We played WoW, Call of Duty - Modern Warfare II, Myst, and a ton of other games.  Bear had Lab 3 segmented so we could enjoy some multiplayer action while toppling our fellow classmates in some of the best games around.  We enjoyed Roman Coin pizza and all the soda one person could want.  But the reason we were all there, PRIZES!!!  Bear had them covered.  He had some great prizes.  The list of prizes and winners are as follows:

Subroto Sengupta (Instructor):  Dell Netbook w/ 15GB SSD
