Me == SCJP

Yea, the expression now returns the elusive little boolean value – true. :D

I gave the Sun Certified Java Programmer – SCJP 1.6 (310-065) exam today at a Prometric Center and cleared it with 88%64/72. Wooohooo!

While I still don’t fancy myself as a programmer, it is a nice addition to my almost blank resume. KTHXBAI!

Books used: SCJP 1.6 K&B.

Happy Birthday, EEE

Me, Technology 3 Comments »

There are very few defining moments in life. Buying the EEE PC was possibly one in mine.

pateeepcToday is the first birthday of my beloved EEE PC, I bought it on 17th March 2008 – exactly an year back. I first actually saw it on display at Croma, the day it launched. It was love at first sight, and the rest as you know, is history. It has been a great year and it has served me quite well. There hasn’t been a single instance where it has let me down. I still find it just as BAAAAAAAP (read: extremely awesome) as I did on the first day.

Here’s the review I wrote a year back, when I got my EEE, just to show you how much I loved it back then. And the love has only grown (exponentially) with time. :D

My EEE PC Review

One of my best investments ever. Cheers to my EEE!

Off to Goa!!!

By the time you read this, I will probably be on my way to Goa for a much needed vacation with some friends.

Obviously, there would be lots of better things to do there than blogging so I won’t be updating this blog for awhile.

But don’t be disappointed, my millions of readers, for I shall be back soon (probably a week).

For now, Bon Voyage to me! Goa, here I come. :D

Me == MSP

Me 6 Comments »

I had appeared for the MSP written exam on the Oct 19 and the subsequent GD on the same day. Got a mail that I was selected as a MSP on Oct 31. Now a couple of days back, I got the confirmation letter and now I am officially a MSPMicrosoft Student Partner. Woohoo!

As of now, I am on a 3 month probation period during which they will monitor my activities and then decide whether or not to make me a permanent MSP. I sure hope I can make it. It is a good learning experience, I get to interact with other techies, attend Microsoft sessions and bootcamps, and also a load of goodies from Microsoft. An added advantage is that I now have a high chance of bagging a Microsoft internship, and if I do well as an MSP, maybe even a job at MS. :D
