My Drupal Site Is Up!!
After 2-3 'weekend' days of continuous hard work(ok.. not that much work) I have managed switch my site from Wordpress to Drupal. Now the question on the minds of people reading this would be, 'Why? Why did I switch?'.
Wordpress is definitely one of the best applications to use when your site is completely blog oriented. Drupal on the other hand is the CMS of choice when you have a site that has to cater to different kinds of content.
My site is mostly blog oriented, but I never was satisfied with it. I wanted my blog to be part of my site. I wanted it to be a personal site and not a personal blog. (Silly! It took me nearly a year after launching my site to figure that one out..)
Anyway, so here's my site, all drupalled up.

After 2-3 years of procrastination, I thought of checkmating myself(yeah, weird!!!) by buying the SCJP Exam Voucher(worth Rs.6000) last year(mid-2009) so that I would force myself into giving the exam atleast before the voucher expired(which was 31st July 2010) otherwise I would lose my money...
Well that plan worked!!!..Ok.. to some extent.. 'Some extent' because I didnt give the exam before 31st July 2010, I gave it ON 31st July 2010.. Yeah! I should get an award from the Procrastinators Club for this unique achievement.. Anyway, so.. I cleared the SCJP exam for Java 1.5 with 86 %..(yeah! 86% .. I couldnt believe that score myself)
My preparation:
- Studied the SCJP 1.5 book by Kathy Sierra and Berth Bates 3 times(which includes giving the Self Tests)
- Studied the 'Two-Minute Drill' in the book many times(dont remember how many)
- Tried out a few codes on Netbeans IDE to clear my doubts
- Quizzed myself with Practice Questions available on the net(for free, ofcourse!!!)
My Result:
