Now the view out of my office window is pretty good. Only leaf green and hay-filed. The sad, unhappy (and never finished) reinforced concrete skyscraper monster was pulled down yesterday at 10.30 AM.
It was a bad remember of public investments spent for the latest Soccer World Championship in Italy (Italy ‘90). Now, in this area, will be re-factored with some parking and a new useful underground station to get Milan ready for next Worldwide Expo 2015.
Italian people spent to build a monster, spent to pull it down, and now, we’ll spend to rebuild this area again. I really hope to see finished this works by the end of 2015, and don’t see much more money spent for another “under construction (for ages)” building…
By the way, for the moment I’m enjoying my new wonderful view out of my office in Milan
Luca, a friend of mine and also the latest “apprentice” of Byte-Code has done his “Master Degree” in Information Technology last week. I’m really happy for his “Summa cum Laude” (for all Italian guys: “110 e lode“)
Congratulations for all your work!
Now it’s time to think about your future into the labor market! And I hope we can still colleagues for a long long time in Byte-Code.
Enjoy your new Job Luca, and good luck (you need it!)
RHCA is one of the most interesting certification I’ve never seen in information technology marketplace. To pass all exams you’ve got to DO what you have to know, not only make a check into multiple choice questions.
It was hard, but I’m happy because yesterday I received the result of my last exam: passed!
For the first time I think to have a “valid” certification to show my own skills In Italy it’s pretty unusual. University degrees, certifications and so on are usually not related to practically experiences: you can have a master degree in information technology or computer science without know how using your mouse…
Changing this point of view is hard, but I think it’s not impossible. RHCA is a reality. I hope other companies will follow RedHat way. I think it’s the right way.
Today RedHat launch “RedHat Certified Challenge“, with a very interesting topic: “Think up the most difficult question possible regarding open source“.
Good idea, but I think it could be very funny to think about some questions our customers could propose… for instance:
…how can I put an url (http url…) into /etc/hosts?
…is possible to write “status” script for Oracle?
…is it possible to fence an host using ssh command?
…it’s too dangerous using GFS share on two different machines. Ext3 it’s surely better!
…if you’re in “linux rescue mode” you’ve got to type “exit” for persist and commit your change on disk… isn’t it?
