What To Learn?

[DanTheMan]

I seem to have a shed load of free time on my new contract so was thinking of trying to get into something new in my spare time. Any of you guys think of anything that can be self taught whilst sitting at a desk, have a couple of servers to play with that I can rebuild as well.

Shave your head and remove the odd chromosome for that genuine "deep south" feel.

Depends what sort of work you want to get into down the line. Qualifications such as CISM and CISSP are both easily doable just from referance material, guide books etc. CISM quaification required some realworld experiance to actually get certified but it's not hard and you can sit the exam anytime you want. CISSP exam is a little tougher but has no other requirements than passing it.

PRINCE2 its a nice buzzword and with a little home study the test is ok

Agreed, but it's still a good buzzword to have in your CV as far as agents are concerned

[DanTheMan]

Buzzwords are all the rage. I need something that'll make me look proactive....
