No MS exams, Uni Starts Back

Published in September 23rd, 2008

So it looks like I won’t be taking any Microsoft exams after all! Well, I won’t be doing the course like I did last time, as there wasn’t enough interest in it for them to do the course! I may get the material from the internet, study in my own time, and then go [...]

I received an e-mail yesterday saying that my MCP qualification would be expiring next year. I attained my MCP in Windows Form applications in June 2007, but I was unable to return last year (due to work commitments) to complete 2 more exams to be an M(icrosoft) C(ertified) A(pplication) D(eveloper). Now I’m faced with either [...]

I’ve been dabbling with virtualization for a little while now. My brief history is that I started using it officially when sitting my first MCP exam, and used Microsoft Virtual PC in my class. Then, when I got my new laptop, I decided the ‘modern’ thing to do would be to take a virtual image [...]

Couple of new updates I applied to the blog, just to let you know.

I installed a new stats plugin to keep an eye on various statistics about the blog (visits, comments, etc.). I had been using StatCounter, and continue to do so (as they’re really good!) but the free log they give allows up to [...]

OK folks, it’s been a long time coming, and the results are in…

So it appears I was right all along…I am a gamer inside! This all stemmed from GamerDNA (the parent company of on of my all-time favourite websites, 360voice) and the fact that they want to show each gamer exactly what makes up [...]

Since I haven’t posted in quite some time I thought I’d put up a quick update of all the things that have been going on. Maybe it will help explain why…

Since my last post about toothache I’ve been to the dentist 3 more times. Firstly to get a filing, then again to get it fixed [...]

Yesterday, while driving home from work, I had a sharp pain in my mouth. This continued until I got home, getting worse with every second. I had never experienced toothache before, and I can now say it is not pleasant at all!
The pain only got worse, up to the stage where it was just painful [...]

Well, I finally got word that my xbox has arrived back, all well and better. It arrived on Tuesday, and considering I only sent it off on the 20th June, that’s a quite impressive 11 days turnaround. I expected it to take much longer!
I’ll be back with it tonight, so might get testing it out [...]

Finally, I can let everyone know that I’m the latest 3VCE over at 360voice. Check out the announcement here, and if you don’t know what a 3VCE is, have a look here. I’m very pleased to be given this title, and I love the forums over there so, as you can probably tell, I’m both [...]

This actually happened at the end of last week but I’ve been quite busy and haven’t had a chance to update this. I’ve also been thinking about changing my blog a little, maybe splitting up the topics so that there’s more useful information on it…but I’ll come to that later!
Ok, so in my last post, [...]
