My MCP Virtual Business Card

When I first got my MCP cert, back in 2005 i was happy by the way Microsoft has sent welcome kits which came with cool plastic wallet cards. Don't have much use though but still is a cool card to have. Unfortunately I lost it and i found to my dismay that they no longer send these stuff anymore.

Thanks to the "Go Green" initiative of microsoft, they scrapped sending welcome kits and wallet cards for all MCP's who get their certifications after June 2009. And this virtual business card is what they replaced it with:

So Sad.....

And they also threw a free profile page for free to make me smile found below :)

Photos of the week – Impulsive Photos by me

I've never used my camera nowadays because of work stuff and other stuff that makes me busy. Now to motivate myself and to release that inner desire to shoot some nice photos, i will start to post on a weekly basis (i really hope that) some of the pics that i have taken that week.

To start off, here's satwa at night from the rooftop of my villa:
