MCTS 70-178 Microsoft Project 2010, Managing Projects

Suddenly I became nostalgic.

You know, Microsoft Project is one of some early batch of software that I used during tertiary education time besides the obvious DOS, Windows operating system, VB (Not .NET you young people!) and et cetera.

I remembered times when being instructed to present my project schedules which ended up with printing of few ten pages of "partial" gantt charts and stitched them together using double sided tapes or glues. Guess not easy to be a project manager during those times. :D

Anyway, transition from the yawning old version of Microsoft Project to the state of the art version of 2010 (2013 on its way) is phenomenal. Number of users grow into millions and with some quarter of them with a chartered PMP qualification. Still, more projects failed in this decade than the total of few previous decades added up. Microsoft Project is just a tool, and it really can't help if you don't understand the essential of managing a project.

Anyway, back to the story of 70-178.

You see, to me, this examination is nothing but just a milestome to tell people that I'm more proficient in using this tool than others. Technically, it's not a tough one either. I have passed various other exams, which I personally think at a different playing field than this exam.

So, don't worry too much if you are taking this exam anytime soon.

What you really need to prepare are:

• Download the trial version/buy the licensed copy of Microsoft Project 2010
• Use the software alot, and explore various of its features
• Understand the basics of project management (If you are a PMP, congrats that you are on a faster track to pass this)
• Read one or more books on Microsoft Project 2010. I scanned through most of them and I think "Microsoft Project" title from Sybex is short and concise (about 400 pages) whereby "Microsoft Project In Depth" from QuantumPM is indeed, in depth (about 1000 pages).

Well, my passing rate of 962/1000 should indicate to you that the preparation materials above are sufficient. Right?

Can't get the damned "Gangnam style" out from my head. Geez.

Obama and his middle finger.

Eddy said: After watching one of the episodes of "Lie to me" where the story points out the interesting note that people subconsciously use middle finger to rub/touch their faces when telling lies on views/opinions/feelings about something, the episode interestingly relate this to Obama fingers when he's talking about Senator John McCain amongst others. Check it out below:



And also Hillary?

Joanna Wong (王若琳) - I Love You

I love you
say we're together baby
you and me
I can only give my life
And show you all I am
In the breath I breathe
I will promise you my heart
And give you all you need
If it takes some time
If you tell me you don't need me anymore
That our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
To make our love a little better
I love you
Say we're together, baby
Say we're together, woh
I need you
I need you forever baby
You and me
Say you hardly know
Exactly who I am
So hard to understand
I knew right from the start
The way I felt inside
If you read my mind
If you tell you don't need me anymore
That our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
To make our love a little better
I love you
Say we're together, baby
Say we're together, woh
I need you
I need you forever baby
You and me
Remember when you used to hold me
Remember when you made me cry
You said you loved me
Oh you did
yes you do

林俊傑 - 期待你的愛

期待你的爱-林俊杰
曲：林俊杰 词：林怡凤 许环良

My Life 一直在等待
空荡的口袋
想在里面放 一份爱
Why 总是被打败
真的好无奈
其实我 实实在在
不管帅不帅
想要找回来 自己的节拍
所以这一次
我要勇敢 大声说出来
期待 期待你发现我的爱
无所不在 我自然而然的关怀
你的存在 心灵感应的方向
我一眼就看出来
是因为爱
我猜 你早已发现我的爱
绕几个弯 越靠近越明白
不要走开
幸福的开始 就是放手去爱

Angela Aki - Kiss Me Good-Bye

You say my love is all you need, to see you through
But I know these words are not quite true

Here is the path you're looking for, an open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore

Go, if you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Don't shed a tear, for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

As times goes by I know you'll see this of me
I loved enough to let you go free

Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky

Kiss me goodbye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me

Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

Kiss me goodbye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality

BBC End Day Documentary. Cool!

Homer: We're all gonna die!!! (He's shouting on the plane)

Below are the various catastrophes depicted in the order they occur in the film:

Mega-Tsunami

In this scenario, a volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma triggers a massive landslide wherein a sizeable portion of the island collapses into the sea, causing a massive mega-tsunami to race across the Atlantic ocean and strike the east coast of the United States, inundating New York City in particular.


Killer Asteroid

This scenario begins with a mysterious 'missile attack' in a remote area somewhere in the Middle East. The 'missiles' are soon revealed to be small asteroid fragments, the advance guard of a much larger asteroid on a collision course with Earth, threatening central Europe. The asteroid is located and an attempt is made to destroy it using nuclear ICBMs. The attempt fails, resulting in the asteroid being broken into hundreds of smaller pieces which then impact and obliterate Berlin.


Global Pandemic

In this scenario, a virus similar to SARS or Asian Bird Flu is unleashed, wreaking havoc as it spreads at a phenomenal rate throughout Europe, the UK, and North America, prompting many countries to enact martial law and close their borders in a frantic attempt to contain the spread of the disease.


Supervolcano

This scenario is based on the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park erupting, causing vast damage to the area 100 km around the volcano, as well as releasing ash into the atmosphere which is predicted to severely cool the earth. This segment has only aired in the UK. This scenario was explored in depth in another BBC docudrama, Supervolcano.


Strange Matter

This scenario is the only one wherein Dr. Howell reaches his laboratory unhindered, with people protesting, and shouting,"STOP THE EXPERIMENT!" outside. Upon arrival, he and his colleagues initiate a highly controversial experiment using the world's largest particle accelerator. The experiment quickly goes out of control, resulting in the creation of a new type of matter called a strangelet, which begins to consume and destroy all matter around it, starting with New York City. The phenomenon wreaks havoc on Earth's weather systems and atmosphere, insinuating that the entire planet will eventually be destroyed.
