Well, tomorrow (February 19th) will be my first time teaching Mac OS X 201, Server Essentials 10.5. I've got the required test score, I've got the teaching certification, I've got the AATC, and I've got the students. I've been preparing for actual presentation of this class since last Tuesday morning, and the fact is that I'm co-teaching with another Apple Certified Trainer.

So, why am I so jittery about the process? Well, it's a big deal to me, as it's very important to me that my customers receive the training they deserve plus I have to travel hundreds of miles and be away from my family for days at a time to do this.

To my St. Louis customers and colleagues, I'll be out the rest of this week. Have a great week, and I'll see you during the following one. In the meantime, please wish me luck!

Well, I have decided to let my seed in the Apple Developer Connection expire. Once Leopard ships next month, there won't be a major new OS X release for about 2 years, so I won't need seeds during that time. Sadly, my subscription was supposed to run long enough to include the release of Leopard, but we all remember what happened to the release date this Spring in favor of getting the iPhone out on time.

Not being a major (or even a minor, really) developer, this decision won't be a huge impact on the business and I will, of course, retain my basic, free ADC account.
