MCP again
It was a week late but I finally got around to actually sitting 217 AD Implementation and Management. It wasn’t too bad and at least I’m now a MCP again (after my NT4 server one lapsed - I assume anyway). Only took 45 minutes, a lot of which was spent reading the question looking for hidden traps and strange verbage - of which there was a lot.
As you may have noticed, there have been some changes around the site again. I’ve been reading the O’Reilly CSS book and have been inspired to try and create some valid CSS/XHTML pages. Therefore I now have a new front page and howto page which validate (well, they did the last time I checked). I also found a very nice little perl script (album.pl) which has (finally) tidied up my screenshots page. This is just a first draft of it and is using the default theme that album uses. A very nice perl script (found at marginal hacks.com) and one I’ll play with some more and look at the other themes. Admittedly I should create my own page for this but it seems a bit silly to do so when I am still learning.
I need to book my next Microsoft exam and have decided to do 216 (Network Infrastructure) next. I figure I’ll get the easy ones over first and do the harder ones last (workstation and server 
). Depending on how the study goes over the weekend, I’ll either book it for next Thursday or the following Monday.
Reading at the moment: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (who isn’t?). I’m enjoying it as a light, easy reading book that is a lot of fun.
