About
The author has been working in, on, around, or in the depths of computer networks professionally for over 16 years. Before that he was programming, hacking, and just generally messing about with computers, modems, bulletin boards, and networks since he got his first computer at age eight: an Apple IIc with all the accoutrements. In that time he has managed to break a good many things, fix a good many other things, and generally see a lot of the good, bad, and just plain odd underbellies of the computer world. As such, writing about some of it seemed to make a certain level of sense.
And I promise, no more writing in the third person. Unless I change my mind or feel particularly cocky.
Also, having been certified by both Microsoft at the MCSE level, and Cisco at the CCNA level for far too long (10+ years now) it has become high time to move along into something more grand. So, I have embarked on the CCIE R&S quest, and along the way as it seems convenient, plan on taking the requisite tests for the CCNP certification as well. My general schedule is to have the CCNP tests out of the way by the end of 2010, and then to have the R&S written done in the early first quarter of 2011. As for the lab, I’ll work out a reasonable schedule based on my study habits after the written is in the proverbial bank.
