Fortunately, whilst trying not to sound like a mobster, I know people who know people and the work on a new site begins today.

If you are in any way interested in me (i.e. friends, family, coworkers) or have a desire to attain a CCIE sign up to the RSS Feed on here and I’ll put out an update to let you know when to come back for the totally revamped site with lots of goodies on it.

Stay tuned…

I read Faust Part One by Goethe today. It was an interesting read and I’d try to devour Part Two on my next plane trip except I packed it in my checked baggage. At least I have Hardy’s “a course on pure mathematics” to keep me entertained.

Ok, time to “deplane” - I hate that bastardization of English. Later.

I’ve spent the day getting almost to the end of Atlas Shrugged and haven’t spent my time so usefully in quite some time. I contrast this with the drunken loutish behaviour of the sunburnt sports fans wandering the streets and the feeling of intellectual isolation reemerges. Or should I say the recognition of intellectual distinction?

I’m going to settle in to Babylon AD now, so I’ll write more later when I desire to.

Firstly, my blog will be overhauled soon. I didn’t like the “professional” feel that it had, so from now on it will resemble extended Facebook status updates. I figure “my blog, my rules”.

I’ve got the wordpress add on for my iPhone installed now, so my posts will now be done via iPhone. That means frequent updates, but potential formatting issues. C’est la vie.

Alright, time for me to go back to reading “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. It’s the best book I’ve ever read.

Oh, I’m also up to 9 Facebook fans at the moment, so if you want to be number 10 please click on it. I’ve made a commitment to my friends that if I get to 1,000,000 fans I’ll return from the USA back to Australia and run for Prime Minister - so if that isn’t motivation, what is?

So here’s the URL:

I wanted to get all of the IPexpert CCIE SP Lab 9 completed, but I’d almost finished (in about an hour or two) when I got distracted, decided to establish a blog then went to go see fireworks. It was the best fireworks display I’d seen in ages. It totally took my mind off the fact that I decided to peer R2 with R4 in BGP for VPNv4 routes instead of IPv4 ones (well I actually did both). That was just silly.

I’m pushing this SP lab on theory I read a year or so ago, and sometimes I have to play with things to force myself to remember WHY I’m doing things. This was one of those days.

I was hoping to have Lab 9 finished (I’ll do it tomorrow) and Lab 11 today, but probably won’t tidy it up until Saturday.

I got “stuck” on a Project Management call for 3 hours today. I shouldn’t complain as it was really useful - we’re putting together processes to ensure that the significant improvements in our materials seen in the new Voice and R&S (which I helped with) Blended Learning Solutions can be replicated quicker and easier across all our products. So effectively everything IPexpert does will be better still in the future. Man, we’re going to own the market, as the new stuff kicks ass. It’s funny how things changing has caused us to create even better products and to expand even more. Go read the newsletter…

I’m off to go have a long weekend. Chat later.
