I've spent this week in Broomfield (Colorado), writing questions for the Solaris 10 Sun Certified Security Administrator exam. Despite what you may think, it is hard work! Our head mistress, Yvonne, is whipping us hard to come up with good questions. She is very demanding, but she makes sure we enjoy ourselves too.

We are a bunch of security geeks from all over Sun (and the world), who are spending 5 days here to create what will be the examination questions. Each of us have our own specialty, so my focus have been on Solaris Auditing, but I have written questions for a bunch of other areas too.

This evening we went to Boulder for dinner, not far from where Mork and Mindy lived. It is a really nice place, and if it weren't for the dry air, I would consider moving here. I wake up every morning with a nose-bleed, and I am not the only one i the group who have that problem.

Tomorrow is the last day of work here. All we have to do is to finish the technical review of the questions in the last section of the exam. We have to make sure that the questions are technically correct and unambiguous, which usually results in a lot of man-page reading and discussions.

On Sunday I fly back to Sweden. It'll be good to get back home, even if we are having very good time here, I miss my fiancé.
