CCIE 2013 candidates

Anyone know what happened to Forsaken? He was scheduled for sometime in November, but he hasn't been around since October. I remember he said if he had to reschedule, it wouldn't be until much later in 2013 because of work obligations.

Let's do it!

Please put me down for CCIE: R&S for August (Written)

Shooting for the Lab probably 12 months after it. All i'm thinking about lately is CCIE.

Bought the "CCIE Lab Success Strategy" - read it cover to cover in about 2 hours. A good read.

I wish I had that luxury, I got non-stop voice crap @ work, not even Cisco too

anybody got reviews on the various vendor workbooks/labs etc. would appreciate feedback, I'm gonna use INE for sure but want to consider all options

I'm very very fortunate in that I work shifts, and generally night shifts are quiet. And any experience I pick up here is pretty relevant for an IE. I've not made too much noise that I am taking it though. I am only 2nd line at the moment, so getting a CCIE will probably mean me moving up in the company or going somewhere else for more coin.

I'm considering stumping up for the 2 year access to INE. Access to everything for the next two years would be a good investment I think. I need to research some more.

If going with INE I'd recommend either A) getting the bootcamp (which comes with AAP for 2/3 years depending on the package), or

getting the AAP on a month-by-month basis (I believe it's still $99/mo). I had the AAP on a month-by-month and didn't need it very often, but when I did it was pretty helpful.

As far as their workbooks go, they're not bad. I am not a fan of their newer layout (it changed a couple of years ago), but with the exception of that they're good.

Agreed the layout could be a little better but the content is very good. Thankfully the SP track only has one workbook! I'll throw my name back in the hat to pass the CCIE SP written portion before the end of 2013... lab in 2014

They have a new format as well which is being used for the CCIE DC workbook. From the quick flick of it I had it looked awesome.
