This isn't big news, really. Still, I'd like to share my latest accomplishment. As of today I may call myself Sun Certified Enterprise Architect for Java EE 5.
In fact, it's quite funny that I actually feel a little proud of myself... after all, I've real-world experience being an Architect for fairly complex mission-critical applications.
Anyway, despite the proven fact that certifications do have very little value in the business (other than the impressive title), it does feel nice to have finished my last Sun certification (or is it Oracle now, hmm...) despite having a fair amount of real work to accomplish during the days.

Happy Birthday!
Bake a cake, take out the forks, brew a cup of coffee and light some candles! This month we are celebrating the 40th birthday of the UNIX operating system as well as the 50th birthday of the COBOL programming language.
These two technologies affected the business world like few others did and to this very day we are still relying on Unix (and Unix-like) installations for our business critical systems and Cobol still processes millions of our banking transactions.
So with no further ado: Happy birthday and thank you Ken Thompson for inventing Unix and thank you Grace Murray Hopper for inventing Cobol.
