Updates

It has been a while so I believe its time for an update.
I have been very busy since I have started my new job at Powercode/Bertram wireless. Bertram wireless Is a wireless ISP, or WISP. Powercode Is a billing/customer management system for ISPs. I support both Bertram and Powercode. I am also planning my wedding. We wanted to have it at the Bristol Renaissance Fair but the person in charge of working with us rarely returned calls. Instead we are going to have it at his mother’s farm house. We still plan on having the renaissance theme.
I plan on trying to make an update every week from now on. I still plan on completing my Cisco notes. I want to take my CCNA by June 6th at the latest. Then I will focus on VMware/Linux. I have to get used to Linux because the Powercode system is ran on a Linux server, also I just want to learn it. I also want to learn MySQL and PHP.
I have looked at a few books. The “Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching 200-120 Official Cert Guide Library” is terrible. They have so much useless fluff it makes it more effort than needed to find the relevant information. The “CCNA Routing and Switching Review Guide” by Todd Lammle is a very good book. It is much more to the point. I recommend it highly. I also recommend “31 Days Before Your CCNA Routing and Switching Exam” and “31 Days Before Your CCENT”. It takes both books to cover just taking the CCNA exam. Both books are very to the point and have a lot of meat to them and act as a good review.
I have set up some recording software so I can make videos of the labs in the future.
If you want me to write about something specific, have a question, or just want to connect; you can contact me through Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, or commenting.
