9 year old cracks MCSE

A fourth standard girl from rural Tamil Nadu has become the youngest to qualify the Microsoft certified professional examination.

I think it's high time they changed the course material for MCSE. A quick google search will show that the youngest was 10 years old (A Pakistani girl) and many more 10-15 year olds had probably had a go at it too.

On the other hand, the youngest person to crack the RHCE is 12 years old, which makes you think. Also the little boy in question did flunk the first time, which leads me to believe that RHCE is slightly more challenging.

Twelve Year Old qualifies to wear the Red Hat !

Corsair Mini 4GB HDTach scores

I have this weird hobby of amassing USB sticks/pen drives. My latest acquisition is a Corsair Voyager Mini 4G. I'd heard great things about the Corsair Voyager so I decided to pick one up. The voyager mini is really tiny and packs 4GB of storage. My experience with it was quite unfortunate though, as I had to get the drive replaced twice (my work system refuses to copy large files to it). I just got the latest replacement today, seems to be working fine. Here are the HDTach scores if you care. I was quite impressed with the burst speed of 28.4MB/s. Plan to install and run the latest Fedora 10 preview. Let's see how it goes.
Update: The USB stick works perfectly. Turns out the issue was that the USB ports at work are faulty (possibly misconfigured in the BIOS). So it didn't need replacement after all. Woot.

Gnome Blog

A neat gnome panel item that lets one post to blogs! Supported Blogger, MovableType, Wordpress and self hosted stuff. Nice.
