First Silver Badge on Server Fault

Yippee! Another first for me. :-)

Today I received my first silver badge on Server Fault. I received the Enlightened badge. The definition of the badge is First answer was accepted with at least 10 up votes.

I didn’t even know about the badge and was pleasantly surprised to receive it. All I did was quote a paragraph from a man page (which the question asker should have done for themselves) and at least 10 other people agreed with me. That’s all. Total fluke.

First Bounty on Super User

Woohoo!

Today, one of my answers was accepted on Super User. “What’s so special about that?” I hear you ask. The question came with a 150 point bounty. So, in addition to my answer being accepted, I received my first bounty. :-)

What’s interesting to me is that I’ve been more successful on Server Fault and Super User than I have been on Stack Overflow.
