This afternoon I took and passed the CompTIA exam 220-302 A+ Operating Systems Technologies. With this result I have completed the requirements for the A+ 2003 certification.

The lawn – it matters
You can tell that Summer is almost here when the grass starts to grow. Last mown in April, the lawn lay dormant throughout Winter and sprung* to life in September, requiring a thorough mowing by mid-October.
