Imparting Knowledge

without comments

I have always been a proponent of knowledge sharing (without any strings attached). Cisco Systems, the company I work for, does a stellar job of sharing knowledge that is available to one and all, buy our product or not. That said, not everything can be documented, so to help out, I am offering to write articles for people who may be looking to learn more about the technologies I focus on, namely: Network Security, VPNs, Firewalls, Crypto, and of course Cisco’s security products, with focus on VPNs, as that is my specialty.

With the extremely limited volume I get on my site, I am not really expecting anyone to offer their suggestions on what I should write about. So, I will start out by writing a couple of articles myself, which should drive some traffic to the site, and eventually suggestions from the visitors.

Happy Reading!

Fully Migrated to a New Host

without comments

For the past few years, I have been using Hostmonster to fulfill all my hosting needs. However, after realizing that I don’t get much traffic to my site, there’s no point wasting money when I can host it myself and my ISP and routers can easily handle it. Yes, there’s no redundancy – network or server, but the good part is that its running on a 64-bit Ubuntu VM, which is backed up on a frequent basis, so in case I lose the hard drive or the server, I can get the site up in a timely fashion on another computer. <sarcasm>Apologies, in advance, to those who are ardent followers.</sarcasm>

I’ve written a short article on how I did it – others may do it differently. You can read all about it here.

Fail

with one comment

Or Pass? (No relation to the previous post) I just took the CCIE Security lab earlier today, and I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic. First off, I didn’t think I had the stamina to make it through the 8 hours of sitting in front of a screen pounding away trying to get things working, but I did do it, thanks to stuff not working till the very last minute. Now, how I actually fared in the exam is an entirely different story… the results of which don’t come out till tomorrow morning!! The sad part is that I know where I did mess up – stuff that was OH SO SIMPLE! Hopefully that was all I did miss… and if that is the case, then celebrate 12 hours from now; else if ask for re-evaluation; else start looking for another date before the new exam comes out in April.

That’s it for now folks. More to come tomorrow via Twitter hopefully.
