# Apologies

…for the reduced volume of blogging over here.

I’ve been working hard, but also taking a lot of training lately.

- Last month, I sat for (and passed) the [ITIL Foundation certification exam](http://www.itil-service-management-shop.com/itilfoundation.htm).
- I’ve made a couple of quick (and very pleasant) trips to the Bay Area of California for administrative classes conducted by [BMC Software](http://www.bmc.com), who produce the Remedy line of service-management products.
- And this month (this week, in fact) I have been immersed in a [PRINCE2](http://www.prince2.org.uk/web/site/home/Home.asp) Practitioner class. (PRINCE2–PRojects IN a Controlled Environment–is a project management methodology developed by the [Office of Government Commerce](http://www.ogc.gov.uk/), the same folks who brought us ITIL.)

PRINCE2: whew. It’s a lot of material to get through–a 400 page text, plus supplementary material, in a week of classes–but our instructor (from [Advantage Learning](http://advantagelearning.co.uk/cgi-bin/advantage/index.html) in the UK) must be doing something right, as 100% of the class passed [the PRINCE2 Foundation exam](http://www.prince2.org.uk/web/site/Qualifications/HowToStart.asp) yesterday.

Now, on to the Practitioner exam Friday. Once I recover from that, blogging should resume its normal operational tempo next week.
