LPI certification rant

I hate to say this. But I really disappointed by the way LPI handles their operations especially email inquiries to info@lpi.org. About 6-7 week after receiving notification of completion of LPIC 1, I didn’t get my certification from LPI. I tried to contact LPI via email.

All I get from info@lpi.org is auto email response stating, “Hello, and thank you for writting to the Linux Professional Institute. This email is being sent to you because you sent a message to info@lpi.org. yada yada yada blah blah blah………..”.

After a couple of weeks with a few follow-up emails, and still no response from the LPI. I admit that I hate CC feature in email, but it works effectively on most of cases and especially in Malaysia.

So I checked up the staff list at this page and picked up the emails of Director of Communications, Director of Operations and Executive Assistant. Added them to CC and forward my queries. Guess what, I’ve got a response from Scott within 5 minutes (Thank you Mr. Scott Lamberton).

All I can say is a professional body should behave the way its members are expected to behave professionally.

Hex LiveCD Beta2 progress and CD covers

Beta2 version of Hex LiveCD which integrated bsdinstaller is on the way. ISO build was completed. However, it is currently being tested intensively. We will release it when all tests are completed probably within this week. So stay tuned.

BTW, you probably have seen similar post on Hex LiveCD cover design on geek00l’s blog. There are another 2 designs by Vickson which were not used. But I think they are kinda cute (I like the monkey!). Typo on “FreeBSD” though…
1) Colourful design

2) Purple design

3) Devilish design

Awesome design by Vickson.
