If you can think of a better use for excess wool, I’d like to see it!

Ok boys and girls, playing fire is bad no matter what way you look at it, especially if you’re doing it in a wooden structure you’ve spelt a few hours constructing in Minecraft. Here’s a screenshot, the first of my Minecraft-playing friends to laugh at this will get their house burned down.

While digging the other night, I came across my first dungeon. In this dungeon were two chests, which contained various goodies (Iron Ingots, Applies, Wheat etc). But most importantly, they contained a couple of saddles. Saddles are non-craftable object, which makes no sense given the ample opportunity to get hold of leather during your travels. I suppose they include these kind of objects to provide you with incentive to dig – like finding resources for your brothel castle is not enough!

Here is the gallery of screenshots from my wonderful experience!

I did it, I bloody did it! I passed 70-272 on the second attempt. I am now officially a Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Techician. Unfortunately I can’t go into specifics about the questions that were presented to me (for obvious reasons), what I can tell you though is the live exam’s questions were a lot easier than the questions the Microsoft Readiness Suite coughed up.

The funny part about the day was with the exception of the actual exam, everything seemed to be against me. I arrived at the Prometric Test centre 20 minutes early to be told that there had been problems registering my re-sit voucher. The lady there had even tried registering a new exam voucher she had spare, but this made no difference. In the end, I had lunch in the exam room while everything got straightened out. I was the only one doing an exam that afternoon.

The next thing to go wrong was the printer, it just didn’t want to print out my results. Fortunately for me, just a good ol’ fashioned power cycle did the trick.

Do you know what the best part about passing this exam was? Aside from improved job opportunities, a new qualification? Guilt-free gaming Yup, Thursday night was the first time since October in which I have been able to play a video game without the thought of “I really should be studying” eating away at the back of my mind. That first game of Minecraft was pure bliss!

Balls to New Years Resolutions, I never keep them. Instead, I’m going to have one for this month. I’m going to try and keep this blog updated every few days, obviously if I don’t have anything to say I won’t blog anything.

I’m resitting my 70-272 exam this Thursday, I’m sure that will cause either a YAY! or FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! entry either way!
