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?!?
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.
