Whoa, what. I didn't expect.... LOL. I didn't expect there to be a congratulatory thread here already. I hadn't even posted that I was doing my exam. lollersk8tz. Anywho, cheers K-sama. Yes, for those who don't know and couldn't figure it out, either by decapitation or photosynthesis, I went and sat a Microsoft exam yesterday- 070-290: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment. I passed, which means that I'm now just that extra-qualified. There are several qualifications that Microsoft offer. Whenever you pass an examination, you become what's known as a Microsoft Certified Professional, or MCP. This shows that you are knowledgable about the product in question (for example, I did Windows Server 2003, so technically speaking, if there's anything that requires doing in a Windows Server 2003 environment, I should be able to do it ). There are more qualifications beyond the MCP, however -- after meeting specific criteria, you become a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, or MCSA, in a given Windows family (you can attain an MCSA in either Windows Server 2000, or Windows Server 2003). This qualification suggests that, well, the bearer can look after and administer an entire network -- as administrators do. The requirements for attaining an MCSA are that you sit and pass four exams: * Two server exams for an operating system. Those pursuing MCSA in 2000 would take two Windows Server 2000 exams. Those pursuing MCSA in 2003 would take two Windows Server 2003 exams. * The appropriate client-side operating system exam (what users use). Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2000 are designated partners, as such. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are also designated partners, as such, in the same respect. They're all part of the same family... but they're made for each other. Just like a big Microsoft wedding. lol. * One elective exam. Options include SQL, Exchange, and Internet Security Acceleration. Yeah. This is the fun stuff. Kinda. Since I'm going for my MCSA in Windows Server 2003, I have to take two exams in Windows Server 2003, one exam for Windows XP Professional, and Microsoft Exchange (well, at least, that's my elective ). So, one down, three to go! At the very least, with an MCP on my resume, it'll look a little more impressive. Alot of companies (like, almost every one I've seen o___O), for some reason, like to employ people with an MCP. So hopefully, this means a job, which means dosh! Yatta! Oh, btw, I thought I'd bore you all with what it is I have to do. Just in case one of you folks is wonderin' what on Earth's goin' on. XD

K-chan: Yeah. I've decided to. It adds that extra weight to my CV. Plus, if I don't get it... it feels like I've only half done the job, y'know? If there's still more steps to take, might as well take 'em. Kiel: Cheers buddy. XD

Haha, cheers. Well, as an update as to what's going on concerning more Microsoft stuff.... I'm sitting another couple of exams over the next few days. I'll be sitting the 070-291: Implementing, Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure examination, to be followed by the Managing and Maintaining Microsoft Windows XP Professional exam. I'll keep you guys posted as to how it goes.

OMG you were in my dream last night, we were playing Pokemon for real (real monsters) and you were the enemy, but then when the battle was done we were making new Pokemon from paper (like origami) and naming the, it was crazy! Doesn't beat the night before though, I dremt I was Naruto again (3rd time) and Rock Lee was in our team with (I think) Sakura and we were in a fight and lost then we were being all Emo like "Man, we suck!" XDDDDD

Sounds fun. I had a dream last night with you in it too, actually. Lol. Funny how weird things like that work out. XD I don't really remember what happened in it, but it certainly didn't involve Pokemon, that's for sure. XD
Smeags: Papermon, I choose you!! Papermon: NYARGARG!

To Smeagi-chan: WELCOME BACK TO THE BOARDS! ^_________^
To Mazzy: Wouldn't Papermon be a Digimon, and not a Pokemon?
And, finally, to Nii-sama (lol):
GANBATTE! *waves around signs and pom-poms and stuff*
