Well today was either more or less productive than it should have been depending on your viewpoint.

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.

    Hi Jared, Really great to see and read what you are doing over in the world’s most “ADMIRED” country.

    Winter is closing in here but I guess we need rain as you well know

    I will continue to watch your career with interest.
