LPIC-1

First step achieved towards LPIC-1. Part 1 complete, part 2 commence! :)

Score was 710. Pass mark was 500. Score ranges from 200 to 800, so if my score was 710/800, that makes it 88.75%. Not a bad score.

I arrived 30 minutes early, and the test centre allowed me to take the test early, although we had some troubles getting the exam started (technology, eh?)

However, once started, I clicked through the questions, and felt reasonably happy with the level of questions, even though I evidently got quite a few wrong on the System Architecture section.

I chuckled when the receptionist asked to take a picture of me to compare against the last picture (to verify I was who I said I was) and then promptly asked me “have you lost weight since the last time you were here?”

Um… I don’t think so? :P

Breakdown of topics:

System Architecture: 62%
Linux Installation & Package Management: 90%
GNU & Unix Commands: 84%
Devices, Linux Filesystems, Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: 100%

I am going to see if I can find out which questions I got wrong. Would be nice to know so I can learn for future.

I’m sure the label says that you are supposed to use it – not your cat….

Driving

Been a while since I last posted anything related to bad driving, but here’s one. A Mercedes grew impatient waiting in line (don’t they always?), cut out of line, jumped several cars, cut in, then turned left. Video below

C25K – Week 7 Day 3

I completed C25K Week 7 Day 3 (4.02 km), in 19:58, pace 04:57 min/km, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/Y5el

This is the last run of Week 7. Next run is of Week 8, and is 4.4km. Trying to do 4K was really tough and I was really struggling the last 1K. When I try Week 8 if it is too tough, I’ll drop back to Week 7 till I’m comfortable with 4K and then take it up to 4.4K.
