Ah, it’s Apple quarterly earning day, where all the tech people pretend to be finance people for a day.

I’m pleased to announce that yesterday I passed the VCAP6.5-DCD exam, thus earning the VMware Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Center Virtulization “milestone” after elevating the VCAP5-DCA exam that I earned back in 2014. The DCD exam has been on my list of things to do since not long after I did the DCA. My first attempt was during the beta cycle for the 6.0 exam. The results for that exam took so long to be returned, and after shifting in job roles since then, I’d not had an oppertunity to sit for it until now.
VCAP6.5-DCD exam, passed. 🤘

I did something totally out of character yesterday, and upgraded my phone late in the cycle to the iPhone X.

I’m only human, after all.
Anyone with a 15” MacBook Pro have direct experience with a USB-C external battery? Looks like most of them output at around 30W, which is about 1/3 of the stock charger. Is it worth it even on what amounts to a trickle charge?
