MCP what?

OK, I am now a MCP. I think.
Got a mail telling me:

"Congratulations! You have distinguished yourself by passing an exam
that is more rigorous than ever before."

ok, what exam? (I have taken a few beta and don't know which I passed)
also, I can't log in to the site

1) Can't log in because I can't log out because architecturewebcasts.com
keeps me logged in
2) "Error 1..." when using temporary password with this new passport I had
to make with a new mail on a new windows user I had to make (...)
google says "It take a few days..."

well, there is room for improvements here.

Congrats on passing what ever exam it was. And only you would experience the
issues with logging in and out. For crying out loud, do you run anything
that isn't in beta!?

thanks,

I called support, they gave me a new temp code. The result is that I get the
same error, and that the old code give me another error. I guess I'll wait a
day or two.

I've been smoking a pack a day for 12+ years. So, for the math impaired,
that's 20 x 365 x 10.

Therefore, I have 73,000+ butts for you to kick.

I called support (again) and told them that I didn't really need the title
and all, but thought that taking beta exams was a fun thing to do and since
being a MCP could give you free stuff, I'm game. They told me that
"they could see why, the new exam rdekjn" (I mentally fell out)
"degni... had to be manually wdffew..." (I fell out again)
"..s griuh so if I tried in a few days ...wfeuh" (fell out for the third
time) "esffe..."

STOP! ok, I'll call you in a few days.

false alarm, 71-529 was the exam, it is only one of the required exams for
"Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed
Applications", no pin for me.
