Upgraded!

It's finally official! After having to wait for three weeks for Oracle to merge my certification accounts (I didn't know my Sun account is still on record), I have upgraded, as of 10 July 2014, my

Certification update

Had a job interview last month and I was posed a difficult requirement which I want but have no confidence to fulfil. The interviewer has asked me to upgrade my Java certification with a score of 90% within two months and the job is mine.

Age has been catching up and my brain no longer functions as efficient as ten years ago. Memory leaks and only "open-book" tests can save me from failing. Passing will already be a huge task, let alone scoring such a high mark.

Oh well, I should do it as soon as I am prepared and get it over with before I am too old for all these certifications. Please do feel free to give me any advice on how to prepare for it. Reading resources and brain tonics are equally welcomed.

Anyway, I managed to get two other certifications recently to give my résumé a little boost:

• Certified Security Analyst v4
• Titanium Certified Developer

Long overdue update

Wow, it has been so...... long since I last updated this blog. My last post is in 9th February! Anyway, there isn't much to write about between then and now, with most of what had happened to me or what I had done recorded in other websites and social networks. So here is a summary of my 20130209 - 20131113 life.

Firstly, I took a trip to Hong Kong for the BlackBerry Jam Asia, courtesy of Research In Motion Limited, the company that gives us the new BlackBerry OS 10 platform to develop on. My friend and I were there as developers hoping to learn more as well as being representatives to an application we were to showcase. So how was the trip? You can read about it here.

Secondly, just for the fun of it, I have also gotten two certifications along the way of self-improvement:

1. YouTube Digital Citizenship
2. Certified Ethical Hacker v8

The plan now is to continue on to getting the ECSA...
