PHP5 ZCE test scheduled

Posted in Planet at 11:12 pm by lig

Well I have done it - scheduled my PHP5 ZCE test for July 13th. Why you ask - for the same reason I took the first. I want it - plain and simple - no more no less.

Also plan to take the MySQL5 certification test as well - maybe Oct… luckily all I need is the Core to Developer upgrade exam instead of having to take their new format of 2 tests. I can live with that.

I have to admit though that the MySQL cert means more to me though. as much as I love PHP - DB is where my heart sits. Need to also work more about the DBA stuff. TML enjoyed reminding me how little I know and have to learn :) which is kinda nice.

But [...]

I’ve had an…interesting… week. First the kids were home the entire first week of this month (stupid winter break) which limited my computer time. Then I ended up with mastitis and spent two days in bed with a fever. Of course after the weekend when I could get to the doctor and [...]
