  • CCIE Voice Written Recertification – Passed

    I passed my CCIE Voice Written last Friday. My CCIE is now recertified. There was some new material I hadn’t seen before, but I still managed to squeak by with an 827/1000. Passing was 790/1000. To celebrate I went to the beach (Emerald Isle) with Kenneth and friends. We had a pretty amazing time, although…

  • CCIE Voice Written Studying + Bayside

    I’ve been studying like crazy lately. The CCIE Voice Written has become more difficult since the last time I attempted to pass it for recertification. Every two years I have to pass the multiple choice part to keep the certification active. I’m at a bit of a disadvantage because I’ve heard a lot of the…

  • All Work. No Play.

    Makes me a dull boy: Every weekend of mine is planned out until March 16th. I have either Saturday change windows, Friday windows, or on March 11th a full on 14 hour session starting at midnight and going all day Sunday. Maybe the worst part is I chose this schedule myself to hit optimistic deadlines.…

  • The Kills – Tape Song

    Normally I don’t post this frequently, but I was rocking out at work listening to Pandora. It decided to spit out one amazing song after another! I’ve heard this one before and wish there was a bigger Thumbs Up button that I could hit. If this song were a married girl I would hit on…

  • Coffee and blog posts

    I’ve taken to making myself breakfast and coffee on the weekends. Turning into an adult is actually pretty awesome (even if it took me a LONG time to start the process). When I was a kid everyone was like “you’ll have to work so much” and “you’ll have bills to pay!” Now that I’m actually…

  • Busy lately – Camping, Jeeping, Motorcycling, Partying

    I haven’t posted in quite a while. That time has been filled with all sorts stuff. I’ve been riding my motorcycle around, going camping and Jeeping, Ward’s wedding, more motorcycling, and just hanging out with people around Raleigh and Chapel Hill. I guess I’ll start with links to albums in chronological order, just to document…

  • Networkers / San Francisco: Day 1

    I rolled out of bed at 4:07 AM on Sunday morning. Waited for a severely late Pete, and just barely got on the plane before they closed the doors at 6:05AM. We got into SF around 1PM local time after taking the BART to Market Street. Little did we know that we were dropped straight…

  • Random Update – Off to Networkers

    It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything. Not a ton going on besides tons of work. I’m in desperate need of a vacation! I have a week of “semi-work-related” activity ahead of me. I’m headed to San Francisco for Cisco Live! Networkers. I’m actually pretty excited about this. A whole week in SF…

  • CCIE Attempt #3 – PASS – Voice CCIE # 20707

    I passed my CCIE Voice certification. After three grueling attempts I am finished. I managed to come out passing with CCIE # 20707. This last test I really destroyed. I walked out of there a few minutes before the exam ended because I knew it was done. I put as much brain power into it…

  • CCIE Attempt #3

    I just finished my third attempt at the Voice CCIE today. My first impressions: 1. Wow, I’ve never seen any of these questions before. 2. Wow, I can do all of this. 3. Man, I kicked that tests ass. Things went much better than the first two attempts. And now… Cinco De Mayo!!! I have…
