You may have noticed that my posting has dropped off lately...things have gotten really busy of late, so - rather than individual postings, here's my "Bulk April Update" of the miscellaneous cool items I've found:
- In studying for my CCIE Voice, I've found that the CCIE Voice is actually the most "desired" CCIE right now (based on a 2007 survey). Wow! That's good news
- I was recently at a Phoenix Cisco User Group meeting and needed WIFI access. The receptionist asked me for my info (name, company, etc...), typed it into a webpage, and printed out a paper that showed my personalized, 24-hour key for the guest SSID at Cisco. How cool is that?!? Apparently Cisco 2100 Wireless Controllers let you do this...must research more.
- I'm really interested in watching Solarwind's presentation on the "Black Art of Log Management" ... why can't there be 50 hours in a day?!?
- Found an interesting article on managing the VLAN.dat file on Catalyst switches.
- Juniper extended their Fast Track program to suck Cisco people to the Juniper side till December 2009. Maybe this year I'll be inspired to try it.
- Yet another cool, free tool from Solarwinds: IP SLA Monitor - measure QoS over your WAN links.
- Stumbled on a "free tools galore" link: The Free Country - I so love free stuff. Played with the PING imaging utility - awesome "ghost-like" imaging for free!
- My friend Mike Storm gave me this insane data center design PDF (banner sized) that I could explore for hours.
- Found out that Cisco is finally reducing the price on the hardware and licensing for the UC500 series! Hurrah - finally this killer box might start beating the competition's pricing.
- Finally, I found enough Simpson's sounds to entertain me for the rest of the year...mmmmmmm....Simpsons sounds.
