That, most definitely, is the hard part! A lot of it is just stuff I've
done in the past that I keep up with. There has been a nice progression to
the certs and things I do throughout my sordid little career. ;) Many of
the things we learn are building blocks for something else. Which makes the
things not quite so drastically separate from each other!

But it is still difficult to find all the time. I've found that giving up
sleep helps. :) And let me tell you, network designs done under sleep
deprivation are MUCH more interesting! (Warning, don't try that at home!)

Hi Scott, I am just wondering how you get the time to do all that :)

Well, yeah, the variety of recerts may become a pain! :)

But that's why I limit it to things that are good for my marketing! Nortel
doesn't do much for me... I administer their PBXs, but there's no cert for
that. Besides, I don't do it often enough any more to care either! Just
becomes part of the vast collection of useless knowledge!

Besides, I only have SO much room to have equipment around! ;)

Might as well add the Nortel stuff while your at it.....

I havent got the time to do one CCIE track, never mind 5...

and just think of all those recerts once you pass....

I think I'll go back to to sweeping the streets, at least it's one broom and

I have two hands!

With the way Juniper's stock is looking the Juniper cert's look pretty good
deal. I think I may go for one of the lower-level ones just to get some
juniper knowledge in there. Cant hurt I suppose. The JNCIE is about as hard
as the CCIE I'm assuming so I'll not be trying for that one anytime soon!
