I have expertise on such creatures, so I know exactly what it is.
It's "lunch", if you hit it right.

OMFG! Did you not say you live in Holland? There are no notable snakes there! You probably have snacked on someone crawling home after smoking the wrong weed!

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I did live in Holland for a while, but now I live in a different province of The Netherlands.

usually even driving over pythons that large wont do much damage,
so when it comes to "hitting it right" I would suggest minimally a shotgun or 44 pretty much point blank to the head, anything less and YOU would be lunch.

I start studying for the CSSLP certification exam. I plan on taking it no later than the end of March (maybe earlier).
I'm only doing it because my job requires it (my personal opinion of certifications is that any half-aware monkey can pass the tests, and the only reason we have to get them is because someone in the government is getting kickbacks). Test is 4.5 hours, and costs $650 (artificially high price).

No comment..... not disagreeing but still. Microsoft has so completely f'd up things why anyone would want, correction, need a cert in MS anything boggles my mind.

Requiring a certification indicates to me a position I would not want.

My last position required a MCSA cert. I got the cert but was still not given admin permissions on our db server. Why was the cert needed? Because the federal government still doesn't know how to write IT contracts.
The CSSLP is "Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional". It's a *management* cert that all federal contractors and civilian software developers must get. This is the DoD 8570.1 chart. I have to have Security+ (I already have this) and CSSLP.

The only reasonable thought I came up with for "me" to get anything certified from MS would be something along John's answer - contractual. Or perhaps I might learn some secret back door feature that would help me solve a customer problem. Doing battle with MS for the last 10 years, it is evidently clear why my customer is rapidly accelerating away from MS and heading to Android. I'm sure there is crap over there as well, but maybe, just maybe a little less of it.
Microsoft reminds me of Digital Equipment in it's denial phase.
Sorry, I'm ranting...

So a half-aware monkey can pass the test, you're taking it by end of March, yet you're committing weekend time (weeks in advance) to study.
Not trusting your inner monkey to just wing it?

Good luck! Hope you get it over and done with soon so you can get back to more fun/meaningful things
Let us know how it goes.

Fiat is also Italian, and well over a hundred years old. Still doesn't mean I'd want to own one, based on their running joke of a reputation (seriously, "Fix It Again, Tony"?)

I would like to get some ideas from the people here on the topic of organizing data. In my immediate case, I have too many disparate files in too many disparate locations to be truly and effectively useful to me.
There are a zillion files, sprinkled among....
- My Desktop Computer's hard drive
- My Phone
- A Bunch Of Thumb Drives
- My Notebook computer
- Two Separate External Hard Drives
The disorganization presents complexities that astound me.
i.e., How did I ever let this mess develop to this point ?
Something tells me that I am not the only one dealing with this sort of problem.
I'm looking for thoughts from folks here on the root cause of Data Disorganization, like thoughts and habits that we fall into way back at the start of it all, along with some ideas about minor habits that go along with reversing the process so it doesn't start again.
Your thoughts ?

It does not have to be a single location; all my photo's are on a thumb-drive, projects on an external USB drive, and there's an "unorganized" folder on the desktop. Use it for the moments where you have "no time" to do it right, to postpone it for later that week.
Have a similar "unorganized" folder on your laptop/notebook, and move the contents to the unorganized folder on the main-PC whenever you connect to the network.
Bonuspoints if you write an application for synchronizing/archiving the contents of the folder
