It's been a month since I last posted something and 2 months since I posted something technical. I have been on break from studying since the holiday season started and I am again picking up the momentum on my studies. I am determined to finish my Multicast studies but it seems just reading theories won't satisfy me. Though I am still aiming for my written doing the mini labs sure does help when it comes to understading the topic more.
Before the New Year started, I landed a new job with a multinational banking firm. This will be a new challenge for me because its a new network environment, new setup, new people, everything is new. To be familiar with the network environment takes a few months of study and support. I am pretty excited with that new position and I am sure I will learn and experience more.
As for this blog, it really helps writing something here for my studies. Blogging keeps me on focus and keeps me motivated to study more. I noticed that when I don't blog my motivation for my CCIE diminishes. So for the regular readers ( I don't know if there are even any :)) expect technical posts here regularly. I will be sharing what I have learned from my current environment and the new environment I will be in by February.
