Back to the books - CCDP

It’s the first working day of 2020 - a new year, a new decade. Just before Christmas I got a gentle reminder from Cisco that my CCNP needs to be recertified. Hence I am starting to get back into the groove of studying - it’s been a while.

Rather than simply try one of the ROUTE, SWITCH or TSHOOT exams again, I thought I would advance my learning by taking on the ARCH 300-320

INOG::12 - Dogpatch Labs, Dublin

This evening was “INOG” evening in Dublin, an evening I always look forward to, not least the quite brilliant event venues the meetings seem very often to be held in. INOG:12 was no different as we assembled in the really cool “Dogpatch Labs” located in the “CHQ Building”.

George Ryan - A New Tech Apprenticeship for Ireland - FIT

Following the customary introductions and “Code Of Conduct” was read out by [“Donal (@irldexter)”] (https://twitter.com/irldexter) the first talk this evening was from George Ryan. George is COO of “FIT”. This lightning talk had the sole purpose to make us all aware of the organisation and indeed the fact that they are operating a pay and learn Technical Apprenticeship programme and skills partnership.

Blog Resurrection - A review of Cisco's SDWAN propositions

Following me migrating my website to github pages a couple of weeks ago, it became pretty apparent that my Blog was barren and largely empty. So I decided to resurrect it and pledge to add content more frequently.

This week BT sent me on some Cisco sponsored SD-WAN training in Manchester. The venue Cisco chose for the event was the home of Manchester United Football club - Old Trafford. As a Liverpool fan, the venue is a place that doesn’t allure me in the way it would united fans, but it was a welcome change from some of the uniform BT buildings I have been in training at recently :)

Cisco Live Europe a Late Review

Well it’s over a month since #CLEUR in Berlin. This was my first time ever attending the event and I have to admit, the sheer scale of the event took me by surprise. It really is colossal! We were told at the Keynote on the Tuesday morning that there are 12k attendees here. The venue is the Messe Buildings in Berlin.

Monday morning we arrived into the Tegel airport at around 10:30 local time (I travelled with Paddy Kelly from our design team) and as neither of us were due for our first session until 2pm, we decided to head for our hotel to get checked in. We had a quick bite to eat and headed up on the S Bahn to the conference. Our hotel was the Hampton by Hilton – which worked out really well and was a great location for getting to either town, conference or airport.
