I'm supposed to be going through the CCNP Route material. Instead I'm dong house projects. Houses are flying off the market for higher than normal prices so we are thinking about the possibility.
Markets may be close to the peak, so don't buy until after you've sold... and as for buying... well, you don't want to go underwater.
Neither of us are from here so we don't see it as our forever home. If we can offload the biggest thing keeping us here we could rent for a year or two and have that much less to deal with before we go.
That sounds like the plan to run with.

Now we need to talk certs again... and I'm helping my son with his CCNA as an excuse to not study VPN stuff... Then again, I don't have to renew until July.

Well boys and girls, T minus 13 hours until I sit for the CCNP Switch exam. Hope I don't walk out of there with my tail between my legs!

Good luck flipmode!

I planned the RHCSA exam. Normally you can take it in Brussels which would be easy for me. However, 'due to a lack of participants' it's cancelled. Now I planned it next week friday in Stuttgart, Germany. Five hour drive. Booked a hotel as well.

That's depressing (the fact that there's no interest in RHCSA), I would have thought it would only grow in popularity, being the de-facto only 'trusted' linux cert out there. Overnight stays and long trips like that are BS for low-mid level exams.


I'm sure you'll nail it - go for gold!

Ccnp switch done! On to Route...with a detour to Linux essentials first.

VCP6-VDC Boot camp this month. I put in for W2k12 PKI training last week, don't think I'll get in.

That five hour drive became a six hour drive, but it was worth it. Passed!

I'm using Udemy Chris Bryant and Skillport for my CCNP Route exam and HOLY CRAP there is a ton of material. I allocated 3 months to study, lab and pass the exam but I think I'm going to push it to 4 or 5 months. It feels like I'm at the bottom of a mountain looking up right now LOL

First thing is first though, I'm taking the Linux Essentials LPI exam June 15 but will be studying concurrently for the Route exam.

OK, I gotta take that VPN test. I keep procrastinating, so I ask everyone here to pester me about taking it until I've actually reviewed the material, paid for it, showed up, and taken the dang thing. Peer pressure is awesome stuff, especially when it motivates me to take the test just to make everyone nagging me shut up. PMs, emails, LinkedIn emails, all that is great for getting me to quit avoiding and to get busy.

I thank you in advance. Don't do a DDOS via messages, but just the occasional ping here and there will be most appreciated.
