Looks like the Old Man is staying longer than some would have liked. Good for him.

I still hope he gives Kevin G. his walking papers though, even in this nasty economy unfortunately.

Hollywood-ism right there.

Anyway entertainment is entertainment and I have a hard time watching any "war movie" set in "modern times" anyway...

Did you get a chance to watch The Pacific on HBO last year? I thought it was pretty good. And since it was a series, they had a lot of time to develop characters.

As dangerous as disarming bombs are, they definitely aren't glamorous. I'm waiting for one day Hollywood to make a really glamorous and action packed IT guy. That would be interesting!

Good luck on your schooling. Cisco is the way to go. I have my CCNA. Working on my CCNP currently and then CCIP.

Yeah, this term I'm going in on Saturday's to review material for the CompTIA A+ exams



Lord Willing, the following term I start my Server 1 while hopefully going into Cisco 3 and some odd Gen-Ed...

Man when we started the subnet masking and the OSI Layer j*** I was like what the--
but this term we go into Packet Tracer and some other program who's name escapes me. Wire Shark? or something oddball like that.

My Instructor is by far one of the BEST teachers I have ever had period, on any level of schooling.

That's great to hear! It's all about they ability of your instructor to teach! It's a talent just like anything else. Wireshark is good and the de facto tool to sniff packets. And packet tracer is a basic cisco proprietary software for you to build networks and configure them. Very basic though so don't get too used to it but it's a good starting place.

OSI layer is really easy but for each layer, it takes years to master the concepts....I'm serious. Don't just read on MAC addresses and think you now know Layer 2 and all it's qualities...because there's so much......

That's what pushes me to read so much because you really can never know enough in the world of IT.....

It's also what burned me out in 2009 and forced me to take a little sabbatical.... [:P]

LOL, no kidding.

But you know how it is especially in this economy. I'd like to be a Network Technician at minimum but at this point I'll settle for A+ PC Tech in the interim.

And so this year, the first few months, I plan to grind on the CompTIA on Saturdays while doing everything else.

One question, I will also get an Introduction Course to Linux over the next year.

I'd love to have both CCNA and Linux Certifications what's your take on either ?

(I know Linux is non-GUI and all Command Lines, but to a degree so is the Cisco Router stuff.. Privalege Mode etc.)

No matter how many "real" fans say otherwise, this was the fear of anyone who cheers Big Blue. Maybe next year we'll trash those *** monkeys for a change. Maybe.

and yes those *** monkeys have a lot coming to them.. they'll get theirs soon enough </P>[/quote]

no, no Bandy....I know you tend to avoid TAGF most of the time, but I've been slumming there frequently the last few weeks.

Apparently anyone who didn't desire for the Giants to make the post-season, despite knowing we'd be embarrassed on a National stage again, would be summarily lambasted as either a no-nothing, bandwagoner (no pun intended) or a fake fan.

Read: Realist vs Homer argument infinitum.

I was one of those who thought maybe they'd turn on that "Road Warrior" persona if they made the play-offs though deep inside I feared we'd be the butt of jokes once again come the WC weekend.

Here's hoping that the Pack can send those fools to Summer vacation 1 week after the Giants !!!

Linux and Cisco make a good combo. I've been using linux for years. I'm no master at it though as I've never desired to really know it inside and out. It depends on how much you can stomach because they are two completely different worlds.

Linux is more on the server/application side and Cisco is networking. Within the Cisco world there are so many specialties that you can definitely make a living on just being a Cisco guy.

It is good to be well rounded but not too much that you can't be good at anything....
