logging synchronous

I just thought that I need to post this here in case I forget.

Command logging synchronous will synchronize the message output so that you will be able to the command you type in a new line. Pretty handy for those who are doing a lot of debugging.

A New Year, A New Beginning.

Year 2008 was a great year for us.

I managed to get my dream job to join as a professional service taking projects and learn a lot of new stuff. The pressure is there and the knowledge is priceless. There were highs and downs with this job and I learned my lesson.

We finally got our own place after a year of hunting and we’ve been living in it for about 3 weeks. Still need to fix a lot of things but it feels different when you have your own place and doing the work. Every day I thank God for this place.

My wife went for a minor surgery and will undergo for another one on January 2009. Seeing all these things were OK and really confident that the next surgery will also be another success. If all well, we are also praying for a baby this year or next year.

Year 2009 I’m planning to have my CCIE written test and Godspeed, I’ll have my Lab too. I’m not sure how I can work these out but I have my plan set. All I need is being determined and focus.

Welcome 2009!

Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you further behind.
Proverbs 21:4-6

Christmas Stole My Study Time.

Since I commited my CCIE journey the road seems never ending. On those early months, I passionately studied and feel like I can counquer the any mountains by taking more coffees. Apparently, it takes more than just coffees and lack of sleeps. November and December was the hardest time where all of my time sucked up to work and family matters. At work, as a consultant, like everybody else, I need to do more than one project and one of them sucking my time badly. I also moved to a new place where I need to pack and unpack all of my gears, organizing with agent.

Well. Christmas holiday seems too short for us. I need to repaint the whole place and fixing broken things (those bloody silicon sealant was the hardest of ‘em all. I don’t understand why people want to carry those around). Family time meant that I had to go around everyday to enjoy the holiday yet also buying things to repair the place. This Christmas time I’ve spent most of my time with relatives and friends coming over, going around, and be a chauffer. It’s fun and the best way to forget that I need to study.

Now, the family time if over. Although I still need to fix the house I can now have time to study. It’s been a while since I postponed my study and I feel strange when I’m back reading those books. It gives this funny feeling when I touch those books and start reading it again. I think I really need to redo my Switching, Frame Relay, RIP, and EIGRP study as I feel that I’m losing it.

On 31 December 2008, I bought myself InternetworkExpert materials to start with. For this end year season, IE offers 25% discount for all materials. I haven’t sat for any written exam therefore I’m thinking to finish IEWB vol 1 then do the written.

I should’ve taken my written exam last year but it didn’t happen. I need to revisit my strategy on how am I going to do this. Hopefully I can have written in early of this year.
