SCJP 5.0 CERTIFICATION
by Gerard Prudhomme · 04/25/2008 (8:34 am) · 3 comments
I just wanted to tell everyone that I have passed the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 Examination.
It was most indubitably arduous, I had to spend a number of weeks in the library memorizing all the intricacies of Generics, Threads, Auto-boxing, Serialization, Synchronization, Static Nested Inner Classes, and more!
Thankfully though, I have now completed it and I will soon be getting a nifty logo that I can put on my web page to show that I am an official Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 5.0!
The gift that I got for myself as a reward for studying super hard and getting the bloody certification is the ZBrush digital sculpting program.
I have been playing around with the free 30-Day trial version, and I have completely fallen in love with the program. It works rather well with my new Wacom Intuos3 6x8 Tablet :)
Also, I have updated my website, added some new links, fixed the XHTML formatting for a few pages, and I will soon be releasing some cool new images of the 3D model for the main character of Abaddon that I have created with ZBrush.

@Ben - Thanks, I am well chuffed, the SCJP 5.0 was a bugger to get sorted out but I did it! I am super excited about working with ZBrush as well, it is a really great piece of software.
