I’m half way to being MySQL certified
Hey Hey,
If anyone still reads this after the other domain expired (I trust most of you updated your links/subscriptions) I’ll explain the reason behind my prolonged absence.
I’ve been studying for a MySQL exam, the certified developer exam part 1. Ok not big news in itself, but it was big for me, I’ve given it 6 months and a heck of a lot of practice and I’m please to say I passed on Friday 1st May with a score of 61 / 70.Couple that with the fact that it’s probably the first legitimate study I’ve undertaken since being 17 and breezing through high school.
So, now that’s down I’m gonna hold up on the study for a short time as the Mrs and I are planning on getting busy, heh not like that… although…. hahha stop now. We’ve got some projects under way, wheels in motion that kind of thing that we want/need to focus on.
So After passing this exam, I’m think give it a gcouple of week / months and hit the books again for part two, by which time it’ll be defunct as Oracle will have totally owned MySQL.
Changing the subject a little, if you get the chance and are around in Auckland for the next few weeks, take the time to go to the Comedy Festival. You won’t regret it. We went to see the opening night’s “Big Show”, yeah it’s actually called “the big show” it was fantastic, the comedians included Dan Nightingale (Preston, UK – I used to live there, awesome funny chap), Lindsay Webb (Aussie, who heckled me for going to Mexico on honeymoon) and a guy called Carey Marx, who I think stole the show! His timing and delivery was just fantastic, all of these guys plus a couple more who I can’t remember made for a fantastic night out! So go see some comedy.
Time to get back to some javascripting posts now…
