A friend of mine who has been an engineer for a long time, recently left academia for private practice. He also relocated and needed to be licensed in his new state. He has achieved that license and commented about it in his blog, remarking on a certain feeling of independence that accompanied the achievement. I have often felt like obtaining registration for architects, or engineers, is more a rite of passage than an acknowledgment of competence. However, even as a rite, the day I knew I had passed all nine tests for mine, I was ecstatic! So, here's to you, Dave...Merry Christmas!
BTW, it took me three hours of total incompetence with HTML to figure out there was a "space" missing in the code for the Last Fm widget. I figure it out, though...odd as that may be. Cool site.
