Yeah, like I got anything out of that last year... I happened to be at
Comdex last year because my boss had a small booth in the BrassRing jobs
section. I ran into someone talking about the LPI and was told that I
could get a cert for taking the test- it wasn't clear whether it'd be
from taking the beta or a free shot at it when it was done, but either
way it didn't happen. A few weeks later I got an e-mail (still have it)
that said, loosely, "Thanks for taking the beta test. Here's your
incentive: [URL] We hope you take our test 'for real' now that we're
done writing them." And the "incentive" (their word) was, IIRC, one of a
few t-shirt designs, a copy of a distro or two, etc. Basically stuff
that people in booths at Comdex had been forcing upon random passers-by.
To respond more generally to the LBE stuff - like, I guess, most people
on this list I'm a geek. If I'm going to spend a day at a
conference/show instead of curled up with a nice technical manual I
expect to learn something or hear an interesting speaker. Especially if
you want for me to pay for it on top of it. Oh, and 'interesting
speaker' is a pretty loose definition - there's the obvious big names,
but I'd be up for hearing Neal Stephenson, Steven Levy, etc. talk.
