So for the past year and a half or so I have had this crazy idea about getting my Red Hat Certified Engineer. I have been working on and off with Linux at home, and I thought to myself how much I would love to work with Linux. I bought a book to help me prepare for the RHCE, but after the first couple chapters it seems to have fallen by the wayside. I graduated college with a Information Systems Management Degree, got a job, got married....things were busy.
Now since things are starting to settle down and I have begun evaluating where my career and life are going to go in the long term (15 yrs +), I have decided to put Linux on the back burner. At college, all the programming classes were .Net, and my current employer is a Microsoft only company, so all I have done for the past four years is (drum roll please) the dot net environment. After some soul searching, and a long conversation from a programmer friend, I have decided to go for my Microsoft Certified Professional Developer. It's what I know. It's what I'm familiar with. So...as hard as it is for my to set my love for Linux on the sideline, I am going to be devoting my time towards C#.
Linux/GNU I lift my glass to you. Till we meet again.
Now this doesn't mean that I wont be following the Linux Desktop, Mobile environments (Palm OS, Android, etc), and everything that comes between. Instead of purely a Linux blog, I will follow everything I find interesting technology wise. Is that biased...yes, but that's the beauty of the internet.
