I must be a glutten for punishment, the other day a colleague of mine mentioned there was an eBusiness AppsTech OCP, so what do I do.... start researching it. I've updated my wiki with a new set of pages and all..How about doing one thing at a time Gavin...
Then there's the RedHat certification I'm doing in a few weeks... It's a training course that happens to have the RHCT exam at the end.
There's something wrong with me I'm sure. Why do I want to get these qualifications, I'm not going for a job, I'm not going for a promotion, I like what I do, what is it? Only the geeky know what the hell they mean. (No offense ;-) )
And then I think to myself things like "it's fun", "you like challenging yourself", "you can do it" *said like Rob Schneider from The Waterboy *
Oh well. Study.
I've decided for the OCP exam, since it is a "New Features" exam, to just read through the 10g and 9i New features books (thanks to Marc for making me realise it's new features since 8i...) and then check off in one hit the Exam Topics.
Which looks remarkably like my wiki :)
I think that's the best way to do it.. Anyone, anyone?

Gavin, I see you are still studying. Great, keep it up! I also saw the RedHat cert, not to mention the special Linux Accreditation thingy - as you mentioned, I have asked myself "Why do I find those appealing?" It *is* a geeky thing, I am sure!
In other news, Oracle has granted me a Certified Master. Woohoo! I took the test about 3 weeks ago, and finally heard back. It is an awesome feeling!
