Where life is the longing for better things, and the passing of days.

Zend Certified Nitwit

The day has come, or more accurately, the day has been booked. Tomorrow, at 12:30, in the wonderful realm of Cardiff Bay, I am to fight for my right to become a Zend Certified Engineer. Despite how impressive it may sound, it's not a huge achievement on my lofty goals list, but it was an opportunity on special offer, and it's a piece of paper to quote. I'm starting to understand why these things count as marks of respect with some people.

Degrees, Masters, Doctorates ... then on the specialist side of things, you have Certified Engineers ... not quite as grand, but it's much easier, more focused, and experience led. I'll take every advantage I can get, especially for a hundred pounds.

A quick note to anyone who's looking to do any purchasing along these lines, live in the UK, buy from the states, pay no VAT or sales tax and benefit from the extreme currency value difference. Live in the UK, buy from Germany, pay 19% sales tax and lose from the strong euro. So if anyone asks, I live outside the EU, my closest retail centre was in the states, but I'm collecting in the UK ...

Bless.
