Light blogging
So I’m only just starting this thing and blogging is unfortunately irregular. Last week was one fire after another at work and this week I’m taking a Cisco multilayer switching class and studying for the Cisco QOS exam.
Class is going well. As usually happens with these lab-based classes, the instructor lectures for an hour, then I write out my configuration and apply it in about 20 minutes while the rest of the class takes two or three hours to troubleshoot problems that they could have avoided if they had planned their implementation properly. I spend that time making my network pod hack-proof or otherwise completely overengineering solutions to problems that I don’t have.
Fortunately the instructor is a gun nut and a friggin genius when it comes to networking and network security, so when he’s not helping other pods we shoot the bull about guns and Cisco. Good times.
I’ll try to get something more substantial up on Thursday after I take the QOS exam.
