The past week has been pretty steady for me as far as studies go. My elder son got sick with 103 ~ 105 fever for pretty much all of last week. Becuase of that, I was forced to stay home instead of driving to LA to see my mom. It gave me the chance to study a little bit more than usual. I also got some quality lab time with my Catalyst 3550 switches; working on some spanning tree and etherchannel stuff. This week I built ten more cross-over Ethernet cables to add to the 5 I already have at home. So that should allow me to practice more bundling multiple EtherChannel links.
It also helped that I didn’t exercise/work out as consistently as I should’ve been. My son needed constant attention so I couldn’t really devote a un-interrupted work out time. So this week I’m restarting week 1 of my P90X program. So I didn’t get to work out much but I did watch as much basketball as there was on.
For the unfamiliar, it was the championship series between Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic. Of course everyone knew it was the Lakers’ championship to take. The games were merely formalities.
So congratulations to the Lakers and the city of L.A. for a much awaited championship banner. Seven years without a championship is just too long. At least for L.A.
Anyway, this week I plan to continue my studies and labs. I want to finish up on Spanning-tree (I still have RSTP and MST to go over) then move on to multilayer switching next week.

Great switching notes. Now you can do those Lawn Mowers and Air Heismans with confidence.

LOL! My wife loves those air heismans.
And lawnmowers! Man their killers specially when doing them for bulk. How long have you been doing it?

LOL, yes they are killers. I’ve been doing it for about a month and a half, but I have had to restart again as well. Yoga X is the real back breaker of this program. I sub it with cardio x.
