Colin my son starts school this month. It seems like it was just a year ago he was a baby. Time flies. We've been playing Mario KArt for the Wii this weekend. It's amazing how fast he is picking that up. Soon he will be better than me. (ha) He just won a gold cup on the 50cc course all by himself.

I've been kicking up the studying fro the CCIE again. After nearly a year of hiatus, I am ready to tackle that again. I need to budget some money to get an update to my home lab and purchase some training from IPexpert. I am thinking of launching a blog separate from this one to discuss more technical things. I'd like to work in a few buddies of mine however. TC CD KM. Just not sure on the best medium for something collaborative yet. ]]> Nick Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:52:16 CDT
I hope to be heading back to ATL tomorrow and then maybe a few days off to recoup some sleep and get in some time on my motorcycle.]]> Nick Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:45:20 CDT
I'm upgrading a Callmanager from 4.x to 6.x using Cisco DMA tool. I have only done this in a lab setup and I came here expecting the worse based on all the horror stories I've heard. 8hr's into the dma export last night, it failed, so I was not let down. I called TAC and they went through the usual, 123 diagnostics, right out of the manual I was following. I had just done all of that not 12 hours ago. Oddly enough it worked the second time with nothing really changing. Oh well... I guess TAC is right about checking the easy stuff first. Even if it is doing it a second time. God I hate when they are right. Next time, do it twice, then call TAC.]]> Nick Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:13:55 CDT

From Wikipedia:

Rickrolling is a prank and Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up" written and produced by Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman known as Stock Aitken Waterman. The meme is a classic bait and switch: a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true source of the link without clicking (and thus satisfying their curiosity). By extension, it can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive.[1] A person who falls for the prank is said to be "rickrolled".
