Fallen off the side of the earth....
OK, so not exactly, but close.
A few people have been hassling me to update what I'm up to, so let's start from the end of the last blog.
It was a fine December morning...
Went on the RedHat System Administration training, which included the RHCT exam at the end. I'm kinda lucky, I've been working on AIX and Linux for the past 7 years, and quite often have to get my hands dirty with Sysadmin stuff. So the course content wasn't completely new to me.
4 days brushing up on linux "stuff" and a 1 day exam. I won't go into exam details here... you'll have to go through it yourself to find out. But lets just say, out of the 10 people doing the exam, 5 bombed out in the first section, therefore failing the exam, 5 made it through to the second section. Yours truly ended up getting 100% for the first section, and 100% for the second section! sweet.
So now I'm an RHCT. RedHat Certified Technician. Where's my red Fedora!
Then, after 4 weeks of lounging around on holidays, getting through post-Christmas fatness and stuff, I find myself on a plane to Hong Kong, where I have 4 weeks to get a major project up and running for their pilot testing and development environments, just a little bit of work...
3 eBusiness Suites, 2 Portals, 2 OID's, 1 Collab Suite and a partridge in a pear tree later. I land back in Perth.
And here I am. Not sure for how long, but we'll see how it goes.
Back to OCP study. Talking of study, I was just reading back my last blog entry, trying to figure out what I know and don't know (yes, you'd think I'd know that...) and realised my last entry gave the wrong Exam Topics link. I should be doing this one as I'm 8i OCP. Almost a disaster.... :-)
