Varies by day. :) I was up till 4am working last night... Amazingly kids
didn't pounce my head this morning (or I slept through it!)

Heheheheh....

It would probably scare me to see the daily diary of my sleep schedule!

Congratulations on your achievemen! Too bad you can't drink in celebration
for it... :) But I'm sure it will be one hell of a party then!
Heheheehe...

Spend some more time working on the routers though! Having technical
knowledge without practical application of that knowledge only gets you so
far! (Also, remove "CCNA" from your signature as it has been
superceded
now!)

Hi everyone,

In my second attempt at Bangalore yesterday, I passed R&S lab. I'd like to
thank my best gal Swapnita, Brians from IE, Scott Morris, and all the great
people at groupstudy for their support.

I started my journey back in September when some of my work involved routing
for SaaS applications, and I enrolled myself in a CCNA class. As the
instructors answered most of my questions with "It's not part of the CCNA
exam", I decided to go for CCIE. This was the first time I ever touched a
Cisco router. I passed the written exam in November and after that, used
dynamips for most of the lab preparation.

I came so close to passing in my first attempt, but got a lousy 78% instead
of a CCIE number. After coming back home, I scheduled another lab after 30
days and worked on my weaknesses. I finished my lab yesterday 30 minutes
after the lunch and had 4 hours to verify everything. Got my result in 4
hours after leaving the lab.

For all lab candicates, I'd like to add a note, IE mock labs and CCIE
Assesor are priceless. Go for them before going to real lab. Also, there is
no substitute to real knowledge in the lab. You need to know your stuff well
or else it's just $1400 lunch. And it isn't that great anyways ;)

Time for me to get back to SaaS and Unix. Maybe in a few months I can party
when I'm old enough to drink :P
