CCIE 2013 candidates

I guess it's time for a new thread.

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!

I will schedule for November or December next year.
Will start full-time from the 10th of January. Hope the curriculum will not change next year, even-though i heard the opposite.
My Network & Security Blog with a focus on Fortigate. New post on how to create a fortigate ssl vpn.
I think Forsaken is going to come back with a CCIE and CCDE or something. He couldnt have failed his attempt, not that man.

Yep that's the rumor, I might try to squeeze in at least one lab attempt before they retire v4.
And pray they I don't have to buy all new equipment for my lab at home.
Although I wouldn't mind if they drop frame-relay

There might be an arbitrage opportunity here though. Figure out the cheapest router that will support 15 code and stock pile them. Once the changes are made, re-sell them for a handsome profit.
I don't have a problem with Frame Relay. I don't think they have it in the blueprint so much as to teach Frame Relay but to use it to teach concepts like partial-mesh designs, split-horizon and how that affects routing protocols. It's a means to an end.

I had to push mine back to March for this same reason. My boss also forced me to take an MS certification test a few months back as well so that didn't help.
CUCM SRND 9x/10, UCCX SRND 10x, QOS SRND, SIP Trunking Guide, anything contact center related
Anyone know what happened to Turgon? Has he passed yet?

Good luck!
I would really like to know if Turg did as well. He had logged a lot of hours.
Good luck to everyone else!

To be honest the CCIE did not help very much getting there, nor did it get a big pay raise (had a good salary even before, so thats why). My second CCIE will not make any difference either.
The CCIEs for me is a personal goal nothing else really.
Moving into Architecture is a long team goal but right now I'm still happy getting my hands dirty with all the config and troubleshooting. CCIE probably won't make much difference to my current role and salary

I'll probably be going for my CCIE written in about 6 months. I've a lot more to learn between now and then, and practical administration of virtual server tech, too.
Full CCIE attempt in 2014/15.

Im not looking for another job until I passed the CCIE.
I've being curious about what the deal was with Turgon myself. From what I remember, he seemed to have had some sort of altercation with the mods, resulting in him being banned. But the issue wasn't elaborated on. All rather defies belief.
Life always goes on of course, but the forums are still much the poorer for his absence.
I sure hope Forsaken comes back as well. He's another colossus. My guess is he's drawn a line in the sand and locked himself in his basement with a vow not to resurface until he has his number
I do have a sad feeling though that we may have seen the last of Mikej412.

The pressure is on and on my way to pursue the 5 digit number!
