About

This site is dedicated to Cisco, Linux, simple scripting, and whatever networking or related technology I run into on my day-to-day work or studies. The site is running on Wordpress using the Tarski scheme. Both of which I recommend.

The first aim of this site is to document varied technical matters, problems, and issues that I encounter, and (where possible) to give solutions for them. Reasonably adequate solutions even. This stuff-to-be-documented would be things that occur from time to time, but not often enough to have become assimilated as ho-hum everydayness (in contrast to, say, turning on light switches when I enter a room — those things I’ve perhaps unconsciously determined to be uninteresting and unworthy of notice or note). These will include situations and examples from work experience (though with enough abstraction to protect the innocent-enough). With luck, this will cause me to look more closely at what occurs in my professional (or vocationally-related avocational) life, and help a few others in their own professional development/world mastery/knowledge acquisition.The second purpose is to give me a concrete focus for technical networking and certification study, including study for the CCIE certification. To this end, I’ll try to note topics that I’m studying, in some degree of rough or polish. My intent is also to supply mnemonics or memory aids where I can. My notes will be idiosyncratic then, but I believe general enough to help others understand the same material I’m working with. (Incidentally, if you spot technical errors in my ramblings or pronouncements, please let me know.) I’ll also spend some time and words talking about what look to me like related topics and technologies — Linux, networking applications, non-networking applications, interesting documents, books, or tools, and so on. And the rest.

Update:

It’s problably time to write a new mission statement.
