Another big shot goes bust

Another big shot goes bust! This time it's the Indian IT "giant" Satyam (http://www.computing.co.uk/vnunet/news/2233443/satyam-chairman-admits-seven). This is not long after the Danish company; IT Factory, pulled a similar stunt (http://politiken.dk/newsinenglish/article605506.ece). I'm starting to think that when all things are going well, it's just an illusion with a few puppet masters pulling all the strings. However, I just can't believe that in both cases it is claimed that the auditors and board didn't have any knowledge of the wrong doings. If this is true then we must be talking about the dumbest people in the world.

Christmas present from Sun

Just as the year was ended I got a great Christmas present from Sun Microsystems.

1) A cool NetBeans 10 year anniversary T-shirt for participating in the community acceptance test programme for NetBeans 6.5 (NetCAT)



2) A pass on my exam to become Sun Certified Specialist for NetBeans IDE

The exam was special to me as it was my first ever certification exam. My score was 82%, with the least score in questions about building Java SE applications. I guess it shows that I've never build Java SE applications on NetBeans. Otherwise I think the exam was great. Studying for the exam revealed a lot of useful features that I had never used before, but now wondering how I could ever live without. I can highly recommend doing the exam!

Thanks Sun!
