Well it’s Sunday night and my wife is crashed out on the couch next to me. I’ve spend most of the afternoon trying to finish up the IPexpert 1-Week Lab Experience Lab 1. I’ts not going to happen tonight but I am confident that it will be done by tomorrow evening. Last week was really hectic and I didn’t get in nearly as much lab time as I wanted to. I sat the CIPT1v6.0 course, and while it was a lot of fun, I should have spent my time on the labs. But alas, work has to happen- and I have to teach CIPT1 in the next few months.
Another thing that impeded the flow of my week has been the guest blogging at Network World. Don’t get me wrong- I like blogging there and I will probably continue on after the month is over, but again, it cut into my study time.
Oh, and then there is the Webinar that I held on Wednesday afternoon regarding the CCNA Wireless. That was a blast! If you attended (or missed it) and want to know where the recording is just hang in there. It will be posted this coming week.
Anyhow- some milestones this week:
- DMVPN just got a lot easier.
- I couldn’t stand the fact that my pod was running 8.x on the ASA’s so I downgraded them to 7.2. Anyhow take the lab lately? If so, are the pods still running 7.2? Someone mentioned that they may upgrade them in preparation for the new blueprint. I hope not.
- My 9 month old (almost 10) started taking steps. If you are a friend on Facebook you may have seen the video….that was a highlight of my weekend.
- I’m sure there are more but I cant think straight.
That’s about it for this post. By the end of the week my goals are:
- Finish 2 more labs, probably Lab 2 and 3 of the 1-week Lab Experience.
- I’m teaching CCNP1 (BSCI and BCMSN) so I want to get lab time in early morning- that means I need to be up by 5am.
- 2 more posts on NetworkWorld. I have to take care of the CCNA wireless candidates.
- Work on CiscoLive Presentation. I think I’m doing a Tech Session in SF this year.
And finally- I need to book flights for a trip to Phoenix next week and Lake Oswego, Oregon the week after. Man I’m swamped!
Cheers!
Man … with that kind of schedule I would be sleeping like a log on the coach every night! Good luck Brandon! And I can’t wait for the posting of the CCNA Wireless video (it’s good to do something different from the CCIE once in a blue moon
)
