Finished the switching section of CCIE studies on @ine , now onto routing. Most of it has been a review so far but looking forward to the next sections, especially the labs #Cisco #CCIE

I've had a lot of coffee today and it shows....I'm pretty wired, which is probably bad for a Friday

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Sad to hear that Patrick Steward has passed. We started watching TNG this week again, and it reminds me of time sat with my pop watching Star Trek

Anybody using Prisma Access from @PaloAltoNtwks ? Seeing if it's a fit for us, had a demo on Friday and it seems like we could benefit from it

As the kids start to collect candy from various relatives as Halloween gets closer, I've snuck my fair shares of "dad tax". The best part is, they don't even know...

I asked AI for questions on all parts of the CCIE exam, and I scored about as I expected. Strong in switching, routing protocols, and SD-WAN, but weak in things like multicast and IPv6. A good baseline and now have a decent starting point on study plan layout

Currently struggling with 2 things. CCIE lab-wise, should I do one comprehensive lab and build it piece by piece, or do a bunch of small labs based on the topic? Also, I'm not sure how to take notes in a well-structured format. Recopying INE outline-style notes seems inefficient

Got my CCIE studies lined up. I think I need to start small, understand what I know and where my weaknesses are, and build on that. Following @ine video platform. Three documents: technical guts (divided by topic/technology), a lab journal, and a weakness tracker.

A gorgeous galaxy marks the spot in this image, but the real treasure is the gravitational lens in the lower-right corner, where a distant background galaxy is being magnified and distorted by the gravity of a closer galaxy: go.nasa.gov/3VPDX4S
