CIW Master Web Designer Certification

Feeling the Burn

Doing a course at the moment to get certified in a specific field in IT. Started it last Tuesday and have about 12 weeks to get to grips with the course work so I can then go on to do the exams and pass.

Work is going at a slow but steady pace nearly completed the first of the 3 books which add up to give me a certification in the foundations of IT then I go on from that and do another 2 modules which gives me the Master web designer certification.

The final part of the course deals with database specialists once I pass that exam I become certified as both a web designer and database specialist.

Games and Hobbies

During the breaks I give myself while doing my course work. I've been playing Professor Layton and Pandora's box with my girlfriend Marianna. Never played this type of game before but finding it great fun loving the Japanese anime style video in-between chapters and the voice acting is quite funny to listen too. I think my girlfriend likes my impressions of the voices better though.

On Thursday nights I've been travelling down to the local community center were I've been doing some guitar lessons. Really fun to do but the actual practice has taken its toll on my fingers so just waiting for them to recover before I continue on.

Looking up at the stars

Last thought and its got nothing to do with anything I'm actually doing. Astronomy such a great subject and an interesting hobby to pick up regardless of skill level. When I was on one of my breaks I tried to find a site that allowed me as a user to watch live streams of telescopes.

What I found was pretty much nothing. I use to love sitting outside with my cheap telescope that my parents got me just looking up at the starts using the constellations as a guide to look at some really beautiful starts. I don't really have the time nor the money any more to get back into it so it saddens that a site like I described doesn't exist.
