Yes, its true, I passed the test. It wasn’t easy. In fact, I took the test 2 times.

The first time I went into the test I felt fairly confident. I had studied the admin guide and the maximum guides. I had taken the mock exams and done well on those. (Huge thanks for Simon Long and his great site of resources!!!) I thought that I had a fair understanding on how vSphere4 worked. I had taken the class and messed around with it a bit before the test. I wasn’t an vSphere admin day in and day out by any means, but I felt competent that I could successfully perform most tasks. Surely I’d be able to pass the test enough to get by right? WRONG! You really need to know your stuff on this test.

So I was checking out CNN today and I found this article titled Mac share grew after Windows 7 debut.

In the article, you’ll see some gems such as this:

If Microsoft (MSFT) was hoping that the launch of Windows 7 would halt the erosion of its operating system market share — and curb further inroads by Apple (AAPL) — there is no evidence that it’s working yet.

In fact, preliminary data released overnight Sunday by Net Applications show Mac OS X’s Internet share growing by 2.73% in October, from 5.12% to 5.26%.

I’m not sure I can do it again. Gramdpa kicking ass…seriously…that will be 5 seconds of the show and then it will go from weird to plain stupid.

Maybe someone can help me out here. It seems to me that wordpress is lacking some support for upgrades with SSL. For example, I do not have FTP open on my web server and I have no plans to open it up in the future. I DO however support ftp over ssh also known as sftp. But when I click on the ‘automatically upgrade’ link in the plugins directory, here is the screen that I am greeted with.
