Free 24 Hour Pass from Lynda.com
UPDATE 2/17/09: The trial is back on. I believe it will alternate on and off, so try it. if you’re in a rush, try the day pass in my other post. Remember, each one requires an email address.
The week long pass that I posted about last week expired. It was a very popular post on this blog, so I contacted Lynda.com to see if there were any other trials available or coming up. It took a few days, but they responded.
As I mentioned in my other post, Lynda.com is a good resource for training, and the monthly or yearly cost is a boon to anyone who has an interest in learning more than one application. For my review of the service, read last weeks blog post

After writing Lynda.com customer service regarding the expiration of the week long pass, I received an email a few days later. Here is their response:
Hello,
We currently do not have any other 7 day trials for you to share but we do have a one day trial, www.lynda.com/freepass/24 Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for your interest in lynda.com,
lynda.com Customer Service
So, the good news is that there is still a trial available. If you have a day where you can sit in front of the computer or laptop and really poke around, give that link up there a shot.
One thing to note: for some reason when I first went to the link, it didn’t work. I had to click the link twice, or refresh it. This may be because I’m already a subscriber. Just warning ya in case it doesn’t work the first time around.
Second note: They mention that by signing up, you become part of their newsletter, but won’t sell your info or anything. Fair trade for the pass I guess, but that’s a decision for you to make.
