Mike’s World

Today my sister graduated from the university of Minnesota collage of veterinary medicine, and is now a DVM. She has worked hard for this, and it is nice to see her finish up. It was a very long ceremony, but she had a great turnout. Many folks from both her side and her husbands side of the family showed up.

My mother flew up from Cleveland to see the graduation, and it was nice seeing her again. After the ceremony, I went out with some of my sisters friends, and my half brother and half sister to go hang out. It was nice.

Well,. Today is May 1st in Minnesota, and I hope today we had our last snowfall. Yep, it was snowing a bit today.

Today I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975). This is a movie I have not watched since I was at Dunwoody several years back. I forgot how good of a film it was, they did a great job with it. The items such as the electroshock therapy and the lobotomy hit me hard, I can not believe that if they did, they use to do things like that. In the extras DVD, they did shoot in a real mental hospital in Oregon, and the dean of the hospital did play one of the doctors. I find it kind of odd that they would get so much support from within the medical community, as this movie does not exactly show the best sides of things.

Yesterday afternoon I checked my results for the solaris 10 certification beta I had taken. I have passed both tests, so I am now a certified solaris administrator. I find it so odd, because I do not think that much of certs. I think that they unfairly (like education) bring folks to the top of the resume pile.
Then again, this comes from a damn good sysadmin, that does not have a four year degree.
