I first came in contact with oracle in my junior year in university, and instantly I was totally hooked, for some reason Oracle came as a second nature to me, as my friends cursed and swore at their computers trying to install oracle and failing miserably every time, I failed miserably at first but being the over achiever i am i locked my self home and read all the material I could find and finally I managed to install it successfully, as the news spread every body in my class started showing at my home with their computers to have me install oracle for them. I loved the attention i got, and how things that made perfect sense for me were so impossible for everybody else to understand, doing some calculation I figured out that I'd never be a superstar developers even though I enjoyed development far more than administration but as a career development isn't as fruitful as administration.
I attended oracle 10 g administration workshop I, I just sailed through it, knowing that no way real life was that easy (surprisingly I was perfectly right) the instructor just pointed out things to us, what really was useful though was the interaction with the people who attended the course, they were seasoned 8i/9i administrators who wanted to upgrade to 10g...I tried to gain as much as i could interacting with them...not much later I got my OCA certificate in the mail, with that lovely red oracle seal on it.
That was a year ago, ever since I started serving in the military everything was put on pause, now that i have less than 2 months left I started studying again revising everything I learnt and trying to learn linux administration as well.
this blog will be mostly about me trying to learn oracle/linux administration.

You already know multiple times more than I do. I thought I knew a lot when I took A+ and ended up knowing a lot more than anyone in my family that comprises of engineers and Dr.'s but I see now that I was not only in awe of the simple knowledge that I had gained, but was also ego tripping a bit too.
