Jeremy's Blog

I’m a guy who thinks you should always be proud of your accomplishments. And I think one of the bigger steps in my career was starting to work at Completely Unique. Heck, that pretty much is my career, now. Well, when I got on-board the CU Team, I was given the opportunity to take the Zend PHP Certification Exam. I passed. As such, the ZCE Button is up at the top right corner of the blog, again.

I also intend to take the PHP 5 Certification exam they’re working on, as well. Not to mention any other certification exam I feel comfortable spending the money on. Here’s to passing the PHP 5 version.

Edit: By the way, I took the Exam back in February. So, congratulations now aren’t necessary. Also, you can now click the button up top to view my ZCE Page on Zend Technologies’ website.

Onyx just went to bed and I was idly surfing the internet while I enjoy a late night snack and some Dew before I go back on my coding spree when I noticed a couple things worth having a look at. Especially, if you’re female. Fed up with your football playing boyfriend? Go find yourself a nice programmer. Want to know why? Read for yourself. And since this will probably be a whole different kind of dating spectrum for you, you might be interested in what it’s like to date one of our kind.

I think it’s lovely that it’s finally been put into words how much more caring and affectionate we geeks are. The next time your jock boyfriend dumps you for the next “hot ticket” he finds, go have a look at the guy sitting over there with the laptop coding away. If you know how to treat him, he’ll know how to treat you. You won’t be disappointed. I can almost guarantee it.

All of the best things come from Japan. And anime is no exception. Anime rules.

The daily thoughts have actually been dragging lately. If you notice, I’m just barely able to squeeze them in. Maybe my brain will start functioning properly again, soon.

All I can think about is “When can we go?” Not so much because I’ll be going to Colorado… but, other reasons.

There’s a lot of things in life that are especially worth waiting for … If you can’t get them exactly when you want them, be persistent. Be patient. If you should really have it, it’ll come to you of its own accord.

… and sometimes you can find someone that makes you happy, even when you’re not looking that hard.

Just a word of advice to all of you. Don’t ever bowl when you’re pissed off …

I’ve often thought that when you fall in love, it’s not a feeling that you can think. It’s a feeling that you know … That comes from deep within your heart. And you just … know when you’re in love. Because it’s not a feeling of the mind, but a feeling of the heart, it can be one of the most wonderful feelings ever imaginable … or it can hurt more than any kind of physical pain.

This daily thought is a forward into the next entry that will appear shortly …

A very wise man once told me “when you are early, you are on time … when you are on time, you are late” … I still believe those words are true. Over half of the development team made it into the meeting location early. I’m a very happy guy, this afternoon.
