Resolution Review and java certification

Firstly, I passed my sun certified java programmer exam today. Yay! The exam, for those who are unaware is generally considered difficult, and I went into it anticipating failure. I developed the philosophy that each question was testing one thing, it just may not be the one thing that is immediately apparent. I don't know if thats true or not, but as a coping strategy it certainly helped.

As a result of passing the scjp exam being on my 2007 targets, It's probably a good time to revisit my new years resolutions:

2007 Resolutions:
Resolution: Sort out finances
Nope - not by a long shot
Resolution: Learn French
Yup - I am still attending classes
Resolution: Technical Self Development
  • * Pass Java Programmers Certification
  • woohoo - done!
  • * Register for Java Developers certification
  • I think I'll sort out my finances before I pay any money to sun for further testing
Resolution: Get Fit
  • Reduce Weight to below 13.5 stone by New Years Eve 2007/08
  • Still a bit of work to do - just stepped on the scales and was 14.5.
  • Have cycled, on average 50 miles a week for each week in 2007
  • err, managed 30 I think in total so far...
I think its fair to say there is still someway to go - fortunately I have ten more months to acheive them in. I think there will have to be an awfull lot of cycling if I'm to achieve that goal though...
