I like to take a month or so off from blogging during the summer, but my CCIE R&S written studies pushed that back a bit.  I’ve finally got my lazy self back on track, but it may just be for a few days since I’ve accepted a new job in another city and am in the process of moving.

I am really excited about the new position.  Since I haven’t started yet, I’m not going to reveal who the company is, but you’ve all seen the name.  They’re forming a new group to handle specialty services for customers, and I’ll be working for the manager of that team as the Senior Network Engineer.  My future boss is a CCIE, so that’s a great start; we didn’t even have a CCNA at my current company until about 2007.  The job is going to be great, and the wife and I are both up for new adventures.

Today was my last day at the office, and I start a new job and adventure on Monday.  What does that mean for the blog?

The biggest impact is the fact that I won’t have access to a CSM or FSWM any more.  These are two pretty unique devices, and I get quite a few questions on these guys.  I’ll try my best to recount what I know, but I’ll have to get information from buddies at the old job if research is needed.  The CSM has been a backbone of this blog for a while, so I’ll need to find another area with a similar demand for examples and configuration help.  The FWSM doesn’t measure to the same scale, but the old company casino online australia is the only one I know that runs those things, so the world may be that much poorer in FWSM information.

After several months of semi-serious job searching, I’ve landed a new position with a local company. I don’t know how much I should reveal about them, but I’m really excited to be joining their team. I’ll pass on more details as I get a feel for what Pokies is appropriate, but I’ll say that the position involves Nexus 7ks, ASR 1000s, and supporting private cloud technologies. It should be really fun and quite a new adventure for me.
