Thoughts

I am happy to report that I managed to pass the CCNA exam yesterday. What a relief.

Here it is:

Hopefully Maibrith passes her exam today as well!!

Update: She did pass it!

So, test is scheduled for tuesday, and im looking through and updating my notes. My plan is to look through all of my notes on the morning, trying to pick up on anything I might have missed during my studying.

Also doing some subnetquestions during my awaken hours to keep my mind up to date doing that kind of work.

Unfortunally there is a 2 hour drive to the test center, which I could do without, but thats the name of the game.

Ive also been populating my new rack with some stuff. All the old equipment from my work has found a new home. Ive got a 2600 router, a 3640 router, 2x 2950 switches and a 2924 switch. I need to order the correct modules for them + some other gear for them to be really useful.

I read on Slashdot today, that a “Jack Thompson“, walked out of court, apparently because he was being disbarred for 10 years. I couldnt quite remember who he was, but then it dawned upon me, he’s the smock thats been trying to ban what he thinks are violent games, because he’s of the opinion they are bad for society.

He didnt think the court had the authority to hand him his ass, so he walked out of there. Unfortunally as another Slashdot reader noted, when has a disbarring ever stopped a person from practicing (Dr. Phil anyone?).

If all that effort was put to use actually fixing the problem with the violence in the states, im sure there would be alot less of it.

I just purchased a Rack from Dantrak UK. I need some sort of solution to mount the gear I have and will be getting. I cant have it all lay around the floor. They (Dantrak UK) is basically a reseller of Dantraknet.

I went for the 16U version, in case I will need more space in the future it is upgradeable.

Here it is:

I like sunny weather when its moderate, but temperatures in the 25+ Celcius range is a bit too much for me. Especially when I need to spend time in front of my computer. I will need some kind of cooling solution this summer for sure.

My idea was a fan with a timer on it for falling asleep, but not having it turned on all night (the draft will make you sick).

I am not a huge fan of an aircondition because of the wattage used by one of those badboys.

On another note, I need to start eating alot more healthy than I am now. I can feel my energy deposits going down when im not exercising nor eating particularly healthy.
