Personal Update

"As the sands flow through the hour glass...so do the Days of our Lives", pretty much sums my summer of 2009.

Recap:

• May 30 -- Moved from Bellevue 10 miles southwest of Nashville to Spring Hill 35 miles south of Nashville; from 1000 sq ft apartment to 1600 sq ft townhouse.
• June 1 -- Discovered a move to a major Interstate 65 makes commuting time go up way up! from 15 min to 45 - 60 min
• June 5 - 8 -- Seaside, Florida Weekend getaway!!

Future Plans:

• June 13 -- Wedding (Madisonville, KY)
• June 20 -- Wedding (Clay, KY)
• August 22 -- New Core and Server Distribution Network Upgrade at work utilizing VSS

All in all pretty easy summer...except for the sunburns :)

CCNA

So on my tasks, I had to get CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate). This task has been accomplished. It is official today as I finally confirmed it on the certification website.

I would like to thank:

GNS3 and Dynamips
Cisco Press
RCQs (Random Cisco Questions) from the guys at work

Without the constant stimulation probably wouldn't have gotten it.

Now I set the next task of getting CCNP, I think the first test will be BCMSN just because the LAN is where I am all day everyday.

Wish me luck on that one.

Tasks Ahead....

I have not posted nearly enough this year, the year before, or the year before that...I guess I don't post enough ever.  I am going to try my best and get this thing posting at least once a day.  We shall see how long this lasts.

A list of things to come in my life:

1.) Taking the CCNA exam on Thursday

2.) Configured VSS (Virtual Switching Service) on 6509s in new core and distribution, now coming up with new plan to implement new core, distribution with no down time :).

3.) Keep banging away at the Bourne series in book format by Robert Ludlum...still on Identity

4.) Also reading Watchmen...saw the movie not impressed but with the graphic  novel I should be able to walk away.

5.) Looking for Good to Great on audible.com...I want to get into audio books more.

That is the plan!!

Friday the 13th

I went to see this movie on Friday the 13th. Lets just say that in the first oh...10min of the movie you see....5 people get killed each in a different way, a pair of breasts, a sex scene, a forest of marijuana plants, and one ugly killer. Then the credits roll.

As the movie continues, they do lengthen out the next set of killings but it stays true to the Jason mantra. A set of high school to college age kids, made up of scantly clothed girls and pot smoking college guys, that all get killed.

If you enjoy Jason movies I think you will like this one.
