MCSA

By passing 70-291 I became MCSA. That’s quite odd, I thought I need 4 exams, not just 3, but Microsoft says different so I won’t argue.

Hey, nothing better than a good surprise gift for Saint Nicholas day.

70-291: not that hard

I passed 70-291. It wasn’t that hard, a lot easier than what I heard about it.

I failed completely at RRAS, on the other hand I got 100% points at IP addressing and maintaining infrastruture – seems it’s a good measure of what I really do / know.

Getting official

Today, maybe as a gift on the occasion of SysAdmin day 2009, I got a letter from the court. It officially states that “Jakub Anderwald – Yet Another Tech Blog” is a state registered magazine.

Basically, I am now a publisher and chief editor of a magazine – on the same level as country-wide magazines like Top Gear, or Playboy, except that I publish only on Internet, not on paper.

If you’re Polish, you probably know, this is an effect of a curious court decision, where, among other lines, it said that “a website is a magazine according to polish law and must be registered”. It has been widely discussed 2 years ago, mostly ignored in reality, but a couple of freaks found it to be a nice and funny way of promoting their websites – and here I am.

The same law also says that publishing a magazine without registration is a crime – so beware, all other Polish websites ;)

Here’s the court statement (in Polish, though)

I’m famous (well… sort of)

It’s good to be famous. It’s good to be inspirational.

Conclusion: It’s good to inspire someone to create something that will make you famous.

My part starts here:

“Commenter Jakub Anderwald notes how hard it is to send a text message to a home or work phone. I totally agree.”

It’s very nice to see that your comments are acutally being read and are inspiring others to create something. It gives the small feeling of doing something good and thinking valuable thoughts.
