All work and no play, makes one a CCIE
The last year or so I’ve been studying for a certification for my real life job, and it culminated the first two weeks in the new year where I set aside everything else to focus on my studies. The certification is called Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, CCIE for short. It’s the most attractive certification in [...]
Lunchtime walk
Georgia, my father and me went for a lunchtime walk in the woods above my parents house to burn some of the energy from too much Christmas food. We brought the three dogs and they were running around enjoying the freedom. The one in the picture is Willa, my sister’s German Sheperd. She and Marthe [...]

Gamez
I got a link to some cool free games at BinaryZoo, very fun and addictive. I liked Mono the most, it’s like Asteroids on acid and speed. Reminds me of old school arcade machines (1 or 2 Kr. per play) and some of the Amiga classics. Quick and no-brainer games for instant fun in the [...]
