I wrote that I failed NCLP 10 exam at the first try several days back. I took again yesterday to revenge, and passed. I really admit this exam because it’s a real lab exam with 2 Suse Linux machines sat on top of VMware. It’s not as difficult as RHCE, but at least comparable to RHCT. This testing measures candidate skill accurately instead of written exam.

I sat NCLP exam last week, and failed 
. This exam was definitely hard, specially for seasoned Linux hobbyist like me. Anybody who’s lives and breath with Linux admin everyday should be able to passed with a good mark.

I just play around with PHP in last couple days. It’s rather dificult for me, because I never use this tool before. Usually I rely on ASP, and VB for my Job.
The mission is how to connect PHP under Linux with SQL Server under Windows machine, because my book is about Linux-Windows integration. There are alot of alternatives that can be used for this purpose, both commercially or free. Some tools are FreeDTS, Sybase interface, PHPLib, or commercial ODBC interface. I must carefully research to choose the easiest thecnique.
ah,… Why I’m so sleepy at night.
