Passing an OCP Exam

Well, I'm back from my holiday now and back in the office on Monday. And doesn't jet lag suck - I spent the last two weeks relaxing and getting lots of lie-ins, and now my body clock is all over the place and I feel worse than ever :-(

Anyway, a couple of bits of personal news:

I took the last of my Oracle DBA OCP exams just before I went away, and I'm now a Oracle Certified Professional. Woohoo! It took me around 18 months to get there, but I finally made it and can now spend my evenings relaxing, instead of holed-up in the study reading my OCP exam guides.

In addition, I've linked up with Don Burleson, one of the world's most widely-read Oracle experts and the editor behind Rampant Techpress, to put together articles for his new Oracle News portal. I've been in touch with Don for a while now, and it's a great honour to work alongside such a 'name' in the Oracle community. Check out the site regularly for hints, tips and insights on the Oracle development scene.
