New RC available : Wordpress 2.5 RC2

I upgraded 2 of my Wordpress sites (Fots.nl, weblog.sleurink.nl) to Wordpress 2.5 RC2. All seems to work well…and the plugins IMDB Tag and Geo Tag are working.

Finally, my Lenovo T60 is replaced with a Lenovo T61p. The problem I had with the T60, was that it had a maximum resoluton of 1024×768…terrible if you need to work with network overviews.

Thank god that changed to 1600×1200…

Maybey a nice addition in Exchange 2007 SP2??

I’m currently looking into the steps I’ve to take to achieve the new certification of MCITP: Server Administrator.

As I’m currently MCSE 2003 certified, I need to pass the following exam:

This exam is an upgrade path, it has the following three stand-alone exams :

• Exam 70-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
• Exam 70-642: TS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring
• Exam 70-643: TS: Windows Server 2008 Applications, Configuring

After passing the exam I’ll be credited with the following titles :

• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2008 Application Platform Configuration

So… as the preparation guide shows, I’ll have to start studying…

Finally, after a busy time I’m officialy a MCSE 2003 Administrator. But…now it’s time to upgrade and learn about the upgrade path to MCSE 2008 .

I wanted to add Google Maps to my site, as I’m preparing for my vacation. The plugin doesn’t create anything, it just ads some scripts to the header of the weblog.

But now you can create nice links to Google Maps…

For example this link to Chicago or Los Angeles.
