There are those days

There are those days

when even the eyelash of the sun

brushing against your face

cannot break through the ice

 

There are those hours

that seem to drag on

and you feel like the

world has abandoned you

and the insignificant whispers

of those who truly care

cannot rise over the dirge of monotony

compounded by the cyclical trepidation of life

 

There are the minutes

That pass by and you wonder

If there is anything in life

Worth pulling you through

Until tomorrow

The chaos, confusion, hopelessness

All seem to pale towards

The future glory that you long for

 

And then there are the

Moments that you must decide

What will control your destiny

You

Or this tiny obscure thread called

Life

The Final Test

This seems to be the CBK that I’m having the hardest time on, mostly because I know how to exploit the network very well, but do not have as much experience in configuring it.  I passed though.  🙂

 

Funniest part is after another full week of studying it – I still got the same grade!!! HAHA!

Second day away from my family

This is the second day I have been away from my wife (excepting when the kids were born) since we were married almost 13 years ago…  It’s quiet, somewhat peaceful, but definitely lonely!

I have only been without the children (except for births) a few times in their whole life, and except for births, it was because we went to Haiti. 

 

The totality of being without my wife and children is very strange – it’s definitely quiet, peaceful, and interesting to not have such weight pressing down (additionally due to the fact that I am not at home, so the million chores that I need to do aren’t on my mind constantly) – but I can say with certainty that it’s not anything I’d like to practice long term… well, maybe a few more breaks from the kids would be nice!  😉

CBK 5 – 5 more to go in less than 10 days

Wow – this networking CBK was rough – there has to be like a gazillion networking terms that need to be memorized.  The thing is, what I’m kind of frustrated about, is I don’t see much emphasis being placed on the security of the networking technology, more about the networking technology itself.  It’s almost like you’re going for a CompTIA +Network.  I did quite well on the CBK test – but I really REALLY need to review this chapter again if I get a chance…

Kindle Swindle… Does anyone get sick of it?

Amazon just has this thing about trying to screw over it’s customer’s doesn’t it.  I hope people catch on, and I hope it really hurts their bottom line.

Every 6 months Amazon comes out with the “new improved” model of the Kindle – such that, people scrambling to buy their latest version find that the version they bought is instantly out dated by the next release 6 months later.

Take for example:  Kindle 2, then a few months later, Kindle DX, then a few months later (well a little bit more than a few months), Kindle Global, then a few months later, Kindle WiFi.

Perhaps they don’t realize how much they’re going to piss people off by only offering these tiny little incremental upgrades, and as a result, trying to force people that want to have the best functioning reading device to continue to fork out money over and over as they make their pathetic little updates.

I have caught on personally.  I would love to buy the WiFi model, but first, it doesn’t appear to be in DX – so I know that’ll come out in about 6 months, AND, I’m sure they’re thinking of color sometime soon.

No thanks Amazon & Jeff – I’ll hold off for a long time to come, and I hope everyone else does too!
