So, I was in Northern Virginia all last week -- part of the reason my new goals are going up a bit late. The order of the week was RH133, a Red Hat training course. The short of it is that I gained a bunch of new system admin knowledge and am now RHCT (Red Hat Certified Technician) certified., w00t w00t.
I know it doesn't mean too much in the scheme of things, but I've always had a certain fondness for certifications. The knowledge itself is obviously way more important than being able to pass a four-hour exam, but it still gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling to know that I earned that cert.
I posted some pictures from the trip on Facebook. It's almost entirely pictures of Dexter but, what can I say, I love my little guy.
