It is the second time that Banque Laurentienne’s ATM’s are down on a Thursday at around 9:00pm. Are they doing maintenance at that time? Is their network so weak that it crashes on Thursdays when people get paid? Do they run Windows on their ATM’s and have to disable them while they deploy a security fix?

How is someone supposed to trust having access to their money if needed when the banks are closed and the ATM’s crash all the time?

Well, I’ve finally received my “Charter Member” welcome kit from Microsoft.

I was expecting a new card with a note on it or something, but it is just a typical certificate, with the note Charter at the top. Plus it doesn’t even appear on the transcript. Kind of lame.

Oh well, I guess I can put it on my resume.. like anyone would put MCTS certifications on their resume.

Why did I get FIVE certifications by getting my MCITP: Enterprise Admin? Are people craving instant gratification so much that Microsoft had to make you feel like you accomplished something every time you spent 130$ and 2 hours to pass an exam?

That MCITP itself is already easier than it should be, the individual certifications are a joke. Putting “TS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring” on my resume feels as stupid as writing “MCP” on it. OK, so I know how to install IIS and Sharepoint Services, and I know what a “Terminal Server” is. Now what ?

Well, if I was like some people I know I could put this in my signature!
