Beginning Anew

First a programming note: you'll notice that I have changed templates once again. This is due to some complaints about comments not working. Seems that my brilliant custom template was not allowing comments. I, not getting many comments, had not yet noticed. Thanks for pointing that out, readers.

So anyway, it is likely no secret now that I am looking at other job opportunities, and while this is an exciting time it brings some real hard work in with it. I am studying for the Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician exams... yes I feel dirty. My disdain for M$ is not a new thing to those who know me, I prefer a more open development environment, and the ability for everyone to keep the big company honest (on things like data mining and reporting). It also adds to stability and functionality if more people can see the code.

Anyway, to survive I must feed the beast and comply with this detestible... test..thingy. Now, I use MS WinXP on a daily basis, and support over 100 users of it on a regular basis. You would think I could just up and pass this test like nobody's business, right? Nope.. the trick is, you have to answer the "Microsoft Way" of doing things, which, in the real world does not happen.

Oh well. Anyway, just an update since I haven't blogged about anything in quite a while.
