Should be similiar to last time&#8230; basically an early test run of the courseware by its developers to a live class, for the purpose of working the kinks out and getting suggestions for improvement, etc. If it&#8217;s anything like last time, there will be very few non-apple employees present, which uh&#8230; rocks, if I do say so myself ;) I&#8217;m pretty stoked to have been invited back by apple for a second alpha, and I feel like I&#8217;m building some good relationships with folks down there.<\/p>\n<p>Week after that, I&#8217;m *finally* teaching another QuickTime Streaming Server class. Only done one of those so far&#8230;  unfortunately, the demand has been rather weak&#8230; you may recall that I was in the first round of QTSS certified trainers (in the world, heh&#8230; there were dudes there from china and austrailia ;) &#8211; since then I think there may have been one more round of certified trainers&#8230; but even apple has trouble filling those. At one point I was scheduled to teach three QTSS courses for apple; only ended up teaching one in NYC, the other two were cancelled. The one I&#8217;m doing soon isn&#8217;t for Apple, it&#8217;s for my company&#8230; we&#8217;ve tried to offer it I think 4 or 5 times, cancelled each time due to lack of enrollment&#8230; well we finally got enough people to run it, so we shall :)<\/p>\n<p>Saturday should be my last day on the sales floor! After that it&#8217;ll be full-time training + curriculum dev + whatever else I have time to do.<\/p>\n<p>oh yeah, get this. NORMAL SCHEDULE!!!!! I will work monday through friday for the first time in my entire life. I will have weekends off, with perhaps the occasional Saturday class, until we get them moved into weekdays (which is fine since saturday classes generally start in the p.m.).<\/p>\n<p>first, however, some time off! this is my last official weekday weekend. I get the feeling that I should try to do things that can only be done in business hours, but I can&#8217;t think of anything :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading back down to cupertino next week for another training session&#8230; last time it was the alpha of the Mac OS X Administration and Integration course, this time it&#8217;s the alpha for the Mac OS X Server Admin and Integration &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/archives\/376\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lj"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreness.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
