Brainbench and PHP

Personally I never thought that Brainbench certification would help in career. In July 2004, Brainbench has announced free tests for certain duration and I'd just took PHP 4 examination. Surprisingly I scored only 4.53--though the score is less than what I expected, I could get Master certification there! It was really a good experience.

Recently, I'm very much surprised by the fact that many employers are contacting me by looking at my Brainbench transcript. Brainbench really rocks!

Here is my semi Brainbench referral link, which may not work, but I'm interested to test it.

Tim Van Wassenhove's (PHP) Blogmarks

Tim Van Wassenhove , a c.l.php regular maintains wonderful blogmarks . Most of the blogs are PHP related and it is faster to access than my Sage, RSS reader . It is interesting to see that Tim has blogmarked my—this simple blog too:) IMHO, it would be better to display timestamps along with the links and to have a TOC of blogs in the top.
