Well I wanted to take the second half of my CCNA Certification on Friday, but there are currently two problems.

1. The place isn't open on Fridays (how stupid).
   
2. I can't Request a Voucher because it says that I have an incomplete for the class. I e-mailed the instructor to ask him what was going on. He's looking into it.
   
   So, I'll have to take a day off in the middle of the week in order to take my certification exam. oh well, I'm not sure what to do this coming Friday. I guess I could always just read some more for my class, possibly actually sign up for classes for the summer. I'm not sure yet. I have a three day weekend, so that will be nice.

I found the following video on a news site, It's a car that drives itself (well sort of).

I made a slight change to the search results on my books page, but I doubt anybody will notice what it is. oh well.

It's always fun when a Cisco Pix firewall decides to go ahead and delete all of the stored files. Michael and I spent most of the lab time last night fixing that instead of actually doing lab. Oh, well... shit happens. We got it up and running again, so it's all good. I was able to finish the rest of the lab anyway. There's no lab next week, but I think I'm going to spend the time reading chapter 4 and doing some of that lab.

I have to work on Sunday, which is ok, I only have to work 4.5 hours and get paid for 8, and I get next Friday off, but I like having two days off in a row. oh well...

Well, my blog is at least one year old today. I started this blog about a year ago. A lot has happened since that time. I've posted over 175 entries. There has been a ton of traffic. From friends to search engines. I hope everybody keeps coming here, and I hope I can generate some more traffic. But we'll see. If anybody has any thoughts as to what I could add, please let me know.

well I have to go to a sales pitch tomorrow at Maggiano's in Schaumburg. I don't really have a clue as to how to get there, but I'll figure it out. It's with Cisco and Packeteer. So we'll see how it goes. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get up there.

something I got to thinking about today, why is "Groove" spelled with 'oo' while, "prove" is only spelled with one 'o'. Yet, they sound similar. So wouldn't either "prove" need to be spelled "proove" or "Groove" spelled like "grove", but "Grove" is a word, so we really need to change "prove" to "proove". Any other thoughts on this?

Despite being in some pain, I do have music to help me along and through my bad days. For those who know, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to anybody who wishes to celebrate. Despite being Irish I'm not going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Basically because I don't drink. I don't find any point in celebrating drinking. I will wear green just so I don't get harrassed about it. But, I don't have that many clothes that are green. Oh, well.

I found this on Digg.com, and thought this was pretty funny. I'd like to have a similar setup (sans the drugs) for computer or something else. I think it's a cool fort.
