Chronicles of Narbik - Reloaded 2011

Well back on GS once again courtesy of our host Paul Borghese. He's in class
with me this week evaluating, assisting, and may even take to the whiteboard
later in the week... as part of the Cisco 360 Program Evaluation Process.

I got my graded lab back and have updated with blog with my current score.

It's not perfect but for me - It's been a while since I took a graded lab -
2006 or so...

So my first score is some ~13 points above my average back in the day and I was
trying something new for me in using notepad as a lab configuration technique.

I just scored 20/22 tasks on the Cisco 360 Beta Troubleshooting Lab only about
1.5 weeks ago and it had ~30 Routers and was very similar to what I expect to
meet in the CCIE v4.0 Lab.

I get another TS Lab on Thursday followed by another full 8-hour lab.

The Cisco 360 has revamped their labs and these graded labs are similar but are
not the old labs either...

Lots of tasks, twisters, redistribution is still in there, allong with mostly
all the other "gotcha" type topics which are really par for the course
anyway...

It's a lot of fun and...

Being in a class with a pair of illustrious Triple CCIE Instructors...

FYI - Paul Borshese took to the whiteboard and quite cl early and consisely
delivered a masterful demonstration of Frame Relay to one of the attendees...

I think I am in the class with one Cisco employee who has been to more
different bootcamps that even I've been too....

Hah!

Lots of people who have been to the lab and there are at least 2 guys in the
class who have caught my eye as immenent CCIE-2-BE's already...

Nice!

Andrew Lissitz is here and he has "The Eye of The Tiger" for sure.

Good stuff!

Visit my blog this week if you have time and care to check in on how things are
going.

I'm going to submit the final and whole report for the CCIEflyer May Edition
after I tally the whole week.

Narbik is still doing his thing and is the CCIE Instructor to beat... Umm....
There are 17 students in the room...

I've been to classes with as few as 4... Feast or Famine, this industry is
rough.
