Angles in Speech

One of the consequences of being at an IBM conference is that you run into a lot of people from the Hursley research lab. Hearing so many British accents over the course of several days is making me miss the UK...

The other consequence is that is that you take certification exams. Yesterday I passed the WebSphere MQ Solution Development (996) exam with a 5 question margin. This morning I passed the MQ Administration (994) exam with an 8 question margin -- there were 52 questions instead of yesterday's 49. While that completes what I need for work, there's a problem.

Attendees to IMPACT are given three free certification exams. While I know MQ, I know little of other WebSphere products like App or Process Server. The only one I have any grip on at all is WebSphere Message Broker, and I can barely deploy a message flow unassisted. Despite this, they want me to take a third exam.

Oh well, at least I'll have a better grasp on how little I know. ^_^
