  • THE BEST OF THE BEST - Narbik on Steroids!

    Posted June 25, 2009 - 4:45 pm

    A: Eman I think we are both nuts driven by a passion that is based upon our love of helping others. What we do is not all for money we both spend so much time helping others and we are lucky we get paid for what we do and love. Vacation is for people who are stressed out every day and need a break. We are kindred spirits in that way and we don’t need a relief from stress, just more time with family that is less interrupted! I know you took my call because it was me. How many calls did you not take?

  • Starting the New Year with a Bang!

    Posted January 5, 2009 - 4:51 pm

    I did it again this New Year’s eve. I waited in line for an hour to get into Saint John the Devine for the annual concert for peace. The idea for the Concert for Peace was originally developed by Leonard Bernstein. He chose Copeland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man”, as the opening piece and it has been used since the 1980s.

  • Be brave because it is not over yet!

    Start out slow don’t hyperventilate or step on your own tongue. Ask the same questions of all prospective employers so you can rate their answers against each other properly. What is important to you? If you are in the USA don’t ask for a company car, if you are in England don’t ask for an American car, if you are in Fiji don’t ask for too little money, if you are in Dubai ask for more of everything, if you are in Finland don’t ask to work from home, if you are in China don’t ask for an American car, if you are in Russia don’t ask for Chinese food, if you are in India don’t ask for less than a 14% increase, if you are in Brazil don’t ask for more holidays, if you are a CCIE in prison for killing your wife don’t ask for Eman!

    I will always be fascinated by people. This is probably the key to my curiosity about what makes them tick.

  • Do The CCIE Test Questions Need An Overhaul

    Posted October 8, 2008 - 11:30 am

    Terry Slattery did a blog post in May 2008 with a suggestion to Cisco about their test question database. He had just passed his CCIE recertification written test and had used the preparation tools offered by NetMaster Class (Bruce Caslow, #3139 and Val Pavlichenko, #3765). He continued to see a high incidence of repeat questions on the Cisco written test.

  • Geek - Big Brother House

    Posted September 23, 2008 - 9:21 pm

    On CBS Television in the United States there is a show called Big Brother and the premise of this reality show is that they have a bunch of people living together. They go through a series of situations which are staged and corny at best, and result in the residents of the Big Brother House voting to eliminate each other one at a time each week. It is tough even sharing a home with my family at times so I could not imagine living in this situation let alone enjoying an existence as a human piranha. So when I learned about CCVP training being offered in a home setting with the instructor shut in with 12 geeks I was intrigued.

  • How CCIEs can survive these economic hard times

    Posted July 15, 2008 - 8:08 pm

    We have all heard the bad news about high gas prices, the mortgage crisis, recession scenarios, pandemics and layoffs. None of us are immune to the economic blues, but CCIEs are able to cope if they stay on their toes. I would like to share some of what I have learned about how CCIEs can better survive and even thrive in this economic turbulence.

  • Thanks Ethan Banks for sharing your "Touch of Grey"

    Posted June 24, 2008 - 8:19 pm

    Every silver lining has a dark cloud. For Ethan Banks that silver lining was passing his CCIE lab, and the dark cloud was being publicly accused of cheating.
