Ahh yes. You hear that sound? It's the sound of coins dropping into my pocket :). I got a contract job as an "Consultant". Yes, very very vague as to what that is. Basically, it's an all in one package, servers, network, applications etc.

I shall have to push ye CCIE written back though, my original goal was Dec 15th 2009, but I might be able to squeeze it in at the end of the year.

In other news, looking at the expanded blueprint for the CCIE RS v4.0 I took what I have for my browser homepage, and edited it for one note.

That link above shows the expanded v4.0 CCIE RS blueprint, however I still added yet more to it. Under VTP, I added all the modes as the link above just had transparent mode. I added Client and Server. Also added creation of Vlan's, access ports, trunk ports etc. I am really just breaking it out into tiny tasks as my time is going to get cut very short now that I will start working on Nov 30th 09.

Here is a screen cap of my one note, you'll see it's empty as this is just showing you what you can do with one note. I can also "tag" certain subjects and sync that to outlook (I hate outlook btw) and have it "remind" you on certain tasks. That's all fine, but I don't use it. I just stay on point :)


Click on the picture so it's clear :) Otherwise, it's fuzzy and you'll be mad at me :)


At any rate, that is just a couple of sub sections from the Layer 2 portion of the CCIE RS v4.0 blueprint. Even though INE broke it down, I think it needs to be really broken down into smaller tasks. There is so much to cover it really does boggle the mind. I also need to book a lot of rack time with www.ipexpert.com, but looks like weekends and late weeknights will be what will have to work for me...

What else? Hmm, I think I am done. Bye!
