Work: March 2004 Archives
March 30, 2004
I took the first of several tests for my Microsoft Certified Solution Developer certification today... 70-306: Developing Windows Forms Applications With Visual Basic .Net. I am pleased to report that I passed with flying colors. :)
Work is actually characterized by this annoying schism right now. Parts of work (perhaps not coincidentally, those parts characterized by heavy usage of .Net and new development) are going swimmingly well and are lots of fun. Other parts (notably the "simple" upgrade of a previous project which has since turned into a 3-week marathon of hellishly bad VB6 code, shockingly wrong documentation, &c) are not so much fun. But hey, I only worked 47 hours last week! (On the other other hand, I've worked 18.5 already this week... and am going to Phoenix all day Thursday.)
C'est la vie, though, I suppose.

I got my business cards today (first time I've ever had official business cards, if I'm not mistaken). Right below my name it says "Software Architect". As Glen Quagmire would say, Aaaaalllllll Right!. :)
Also, the week is over, I am starting to feel much better, and the weather sucks. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

So I'm here at DevDays 2004 in Austin. I probably would be enjoying myself more if I weren't sick, but oh well.
The rest of this post is in the Extended portion, so those of you who don't care can skip it. :)
