It's 2,5 months ago since I tried out for the 70-340 beta exam (Implementing Security for Applications with Microsoft Visual C#® .NET). I just found out that I passed this exam (yippie!). For some reason I should have received confirmation of this by mail, but there seems to be a delay. When I checked my transcript just now on the secure mcp site, there it was under exams completed successfully. That makes it 16 passed exams as of now (failed 2 I think, it doesn't say).

And it was about time. There are all these fancy skins floating around, but I was unable to use them since the weblog was working on version 0.94 of .Text.  At first thought the upgrade was seamlessly successful since everything appeared to work but there has been at least one glitch. New posts were not working, since the blog_Keywords was unavailable.

The CREATE and ALTER statements for the blog_Keywords table (which didn't exist in 0.94) were not included in the Updates_095.sql script. I ran those from the Dottext_095_FullDB.sql file and everything looks good. The latest release can be found here.
