So it’s been a few weeks since I’ve updated the site. I was finally able to crawl out from under this economy and find some work. First of all, a big thank you to a friend of mine that hooked me up with some consulting work. I really thought this was going to get me through a couple more months of job searching. But then, I got a full time job offer. And then, I got another consulting gig. And THEN, I got ANOTHER consulting gig! Needless to say, I’m quite busy.

In addition to that, I’m still trying to find the time to work on the yard, and study for my CCNA. In fact I just purchased my first Cisco router! It’s a SOHO 817W with Advanced IP Services. Basically this thing does just about every single thing the big boys do, just on a smaller scale.

It’s got:

• Switching with VLANs
• WLAN 802.11b/g
• Stateful Inspection Firewall
• IPSec VPNs
• Intrusion Prevention
•  RIP, OSPF, etc…
• Spanning Tree

And the list just goes on and on…  Basically everything I need to study for the CCNA!

Check it out yourself!

 So anyways, hopefully I’ll get caught up and can work on some more tutorial videos.  In fact, I actually have several things I’d like to share.  Maybe I’ll make a few videos setting up the 871W  :)
