The best way to reach me is by email here.

Looking deeper into your world. On Sun, 04/12/2015 - 11:18. Yesterday at work, a colleague confided he was nervous about a certification test. He asked if I could give him any advice, since he knew several really smart people who had failed. Several years’ worth of testing memories went through my head before I answered him. Since this is a common topic in our industry, I’m putting the same information here that I gave to him. If you're not sure at all, don't answer it and move on. I can’t remember t...

Looking deeper into your world. Why source a file? On Sat, 12/12/2015 - 16:06. The first time you either see a .
