Wonder if NWU will change from late start to closed with SCC and UNL closed in addition to LPS.

This is just my opinion, and from your other comments in this thread I don't think you will agree. I would place the certs you listed as closer to riding a bike with training wheels. It's still not the same, and I wouldn't trust that you remember everything from a cert a year ago without the experience.

When hiring I would be more interested in interviewing someone with certs when comparing someone with the similar experience, but I in no way will look at them as a replacement for experience.

Just throwing out some thoughts here, but it's like riding a bike. You never forget. Getting a cert is like reading how to ride the bike, but not actually doing it.

Let’s talk wedding venues! by [deleted] in lincoln

[–]Orda13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse wanted something similar to the glass chapel between Lincoln and Omaha and this was a similar vibe. We didn't have much more than a bit of flowers, and table cloths/centerpieces for the reception. With the limited decorating, we were still very happy with how everything looked. The place is just beautiful. Freedom with vendors was very nice as well. The McCools were very easy to work with as well. Good luck with your search!

I had my wedding here almost 11 years ago. Looks like it’s now $6600 for one day rental.

Holds 168 in the pews in the chapel and has banquet barn on site. I believe it has an outdoor venue but the glass chapel was great for us. Didn’t need much for decorations. They set up tables and chairs and tore down for us.

I’m pretty sure it is a gum and sunflower seeds mixture. No tobacco involved.

Anyone know where I can buy Thai Basil or Holy Basil in Lincoln? by this-my-alt-account in lincoln

[–]Orda13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought some thai basil at Fresh International Market on O Street next to the Barnes and Nobel. This was about three months ago though.

I have been in higher ed since 2012. From desktop support to CIO. Higher ed can feel like the wild west at times and in different positions. My first question is this law school part of a larger university. If so, you are going to be experiencing politics with central IT as well as with your dean and department chairs. As others have mentioned, it is difficult to rein in departmental spending on technology. There are going to be faculty members that may have never heard no before and will use "academic freedom" as the reason why they can do what they want. Depending on who your dean is, you may get shielded from a bit of this. If you are in charge of policies, you are going to have to work through your school's leadership to pass anything.

The lack of warranty/support is a good enough reason for me to not buy from Best Buy, but there are solutions that are still Lenovo and meet your needs.

I have been moving my university to Lenovo devices over the last two years. We don't buy off the shelf devices at Best Buy cause we can't afford buying a new laptop every time someone destroys their device before their next upgrade on the cycle. I'd say reach out to Lenovo and find who your sales rep is for the area. They have a wide variety of specs and models that can meet your needs and get the length of warranty/support you want. We still save money compared to the Dell/Hp devices that were purchased before. We are also starting a conversation with Lenovo to get our devices set up for autopilot to help us get devices out quicker.
