Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who either left a comment or posted on their own blog their congrats for passing the A+ exams. It may not seem like such a big deal to some of the ubergeeks out there who passed theirs years ago, but it was an important first step in spiffing up my resume and getting it looking better for the job search, so there was some pressure in that regard. (And it’s been years since I had to prepare for a test, so that left quite a bit of uncertainty as well.)

Regardless, it felt good to accomplish exactly what I set out to do, and it feels even better to be done with it! Now I can move on to other things, which I haven’t felt free to do for weeks now as I prepared for the tests. First order of business is catching up emails that I’ve been meaning to write and reading blogs that I normally read much more frequently. I gotta go see what you all have been up to lately. 🙂

Well no, that would be second order of business, the first was spending time with Angela last night and making sure I thanked her for being understanding and supportive during the last few weeks of watching her husband blow off everything to make sure he studied enough. But, like I said, that has been done, and now that I’m back in the office, and have some reports to run, I can always run those in the background while I catch up tech news and blog reading. (Oh the power of the 2.4Ghz/512MB of RAM! I actually get work done all day while I’m doing other stuff. It’s almost like being in two places at the same time. *L*)

More later…

    Reading some of Ace the IT Job Interview I came across this little nugget in a section about what not to do when you’re sending an IT resume through email: “Never use an inappropriate email address like foxylady@hotmail.com.

    Oh someone gets it!

    Dave pointed to something written by Joshua Allen today that talks about the software industry and where their focus should be. I have to admit, it’s a good piece. This line really summarizes my feelings on the whole matter: “And the guy paying for it doesn’t care what language, OS, or database you use as…

    Gary, I’m glad you like the RSS feed. It’s just a quick and dirty feed for now, it’ll be worth the effort to refine it neatly once I’m actually able to publish it straight from Blogger. Meryl and Geek, no Daypop isn’t the end-all be-all of searching blogs, but it has it’s useful points. Of…

  • Another entry?

    Well it seems like maybe I’ll have to try out this new RSS aggregator, Syndirella, and see how it rates up against the other ones I tried out last year. I should probably fire up Angela’s eMac at some point and try out NetNewsWire Lite and see how that stacks up too although, obviously, since…
