Took the BCMSN Tuesday and passed. This exam pretty much dealt with my everyday work and I wont be afraid to admit this exam was still hard (plus im getting a little tired of reading about Cisco technology). Taking off till Monday then im going to start the ISCW which looks like its gonna be difficult but interesting! (Planning to take the next exam December 17th so I can enjoy the 1.5 week we get off for Christmas Break )

This weekend ill be working on a power point...

I wrote this up about two months ago using various Cisco documentations and trial error in a lab environment. It's pretty simple to setup if you have basic knowledge of wireless, vlans, and...

So in the beginning of September I finished up my MCSA 2003. Something im very happy and proud of because it took almost eight months to complete and stuck with it. (I have a real problem with patience, when I want something I want it now)
