InternetworkExpert is running a sale on CCIE Voice, Security and Routing and Switching 5 day bootcamps. The add on the homepage says $3995 for the R&S bootcamp but when you visit the R&S bootcamp page it’s listed as $3495, might be a typo but I’d imagine they’ll honor the deal.
More importantly the OSPF section of Vol 1 v5 is going to be updated again. They currently list the release as alpha. I’m half way through the EIGRP stuff, and I think OSPF will be next for me. This updates comes just in time so I can stay on track with my plan.
I was in a hotel this week and last week battling the internet access issue, finally this week I am in a room where the wired connection is working solidly, allowing me to do my rack time at night. I went home this past weekend and reserved that time for the family, this weekend is a long one, so I may sneak in a few hours here and there of study so I can close the chapter on EIGRP. In the big picture I guess EIGRP is fairly easy compared to other sections and protocols, but when 90% of the stuff I am doing is my first exposure to it, it’s a little daunting at first. I am reading in the Routing TCP/IP vol 1 as I am going through the sections, as well as watching the IE Advanced Technologies class on demand material. The CCIE 2.0 open lecture series times haven’t been working for my work schedule, so i’ll catch them as they are posted (have they done it yet?). I’m going to have to revisit most of the vol 1 stuff again, at times my mind is the opposite of a steel trap, but I’ll attribute that to the fact that this is my first exposure to the material and I have to build the “frame of reference” before I can begin to fully understand and retain it.
The name “frame problem” derives from a common technique used by animated cartoon makers called framing where the currently moving parts of the cartoon are superimposed on the “frame,” which depicts the background of the scene, which does not change. In the logical context, actions are typically specified by what they change, with the implicit assumption that everything else (the frame) remains unchanged.
