No, not a new Microsoft slogan, but an idea for a topic that should be interesting.

What are you working on today? (Job or study related please ;))


Let me start myself: I'm working on Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity TechNotes for the Security+ exam, creating a CCSP section, and writing a tutorial on how to model a grenade in 3d studio max.


Feel free to reply if you read this topic after 'today'.

    I'm working on the 70-290. Every time I feel like I'm ready to take the test I find another reason to study more. I may take it some day! icon_wink.gif

    I'm working on studying for my CCNA, and generally being the help desk whipping boy.

    Most of my dept. is out and about today, so I'm here to answer "Yes, we know that is a problem, no we can't do anything about it today, yes we know you need it, no we still can't do anything."
    I do not have a psychiatrist and I do not want one, for the simple reason that if he listened to me long enough, he might become disturbed.

    Planning a server build for a client. Installing a new switch for another client and repatching what is there. Trying to diagnose an issue where a ftp transfer withing a program gets a 'connection reset at peer' message when watching the data through the firewall we do not see anything from the remote machine. Investigating how a client can have a data traffic bill from their ISP that is 8 x the normal and I have not been able to find a virus or anything else that could cause it.

    Work-wise this is my current project: http://www.mycomicbookcreator.com/

    Just clocking out. Thankful not driving in snow storm tomight.
    Working in a branch office today without much activity--pretty laid back. Today, usual support, helpdesk affairs. Had to reinstall a printer, reset a password, check on request for new monitor and nobody knows who made the request or where the monitor goes, and make multiple calls and get no answers. Mainly, cleaning up some old PCs for eventual resale to employees. But, I love it!

    Have a gooooood weekend folks!

    Working on strangling the guy I won the $9.99 Compaq Raid Array from... UPS charges $48 to ship it... He is trying to grind me on $74 (guess he's pissed I was the 1 bid)

    Sucks to be him.
    On the road to Cisco. Will I hunt it, or will it hunt me?

    Uh, have you gotten rid of the "old wife" yet? Or is that really what's first on your "to do" list?

    Cert wise I am 3 weeks into studying for my CCSA. I could not find a CCSA book anywhere so settled for the exam cram and ordered my Syngress configuring NGX book, which arrived yesterday :D

    Work wise I am learning how to filter IDS events in order to cut down on the number of false positive alerts. The shift I work (3rd) does not get any exposure to checkpoint so I am going to come in a few days during 2nd shift next week and learn how to do change requests.

    Also glad to hear there will be a CCSP section as that will almost certainly be the next cert I try for.

    Cert - Studying for CSPFA (PIX Firewalls) (Work bought me the book to fix a problem, and I figured I might as well use it to take the test. Hurry up...) Then finish my MCSE:Security in the new year.

    Work - Just finished a system switchover in 2 months... what a mess. I also have a lead on an auditor job, pen-testing and the like. If I get that, I will be doing the CISSP (for the Associate) and CISA.

    Working on a writing a FAQ while my one year old cracks up as she discovers the connection between keyboard and screen. She sneaks up behind me, then presses one of the keys so that she can see it appear on the screen. A geek is born :wink
    shoveling snow......

    Our community association handles that. It's good to finally see a benefit of paying those high association fees. :D

    Certs - Going to sit the CCSP SECURE 642-501 test on Wednesday. Doing last minute studying for it. Don't think I am as ready as I was for the CCNA but since it retires on December 19th I thought I will give it a shot.

    School - Trying to start my Masters in Information Systems in Feb. 06. See if that works out.

    Home - Trying to get my Christmas shopping done. I am also excited for my daughters first christmas.
