It strikes me as great irony that we are well engaged in a 'social media' experience, where we are friends, and share, and like, hangout in circles, and gossip - er, tweet, and all of this becomes profited on, but this socialism doesnt seem to extend to the real world.

Its a never ending project, seems like. I get a few things scratched off the list, and theres another bunch on there!

Looking different directions through the window you would see different artists or events, and as you focused on them the music would play the appropriate selection.

I do have a lot of work history and personal experience with the subject, so you might expect this would be an easy win for me, but the RHCSA/RHCE tests are pretty tough. The standard for linux admin certs, really. I was confident, but maintained healthy skepticism about my ability.  Read more... about Certifiable
