Just a few days from my certification exam (Update):

Since the link previously allowing me to put in a new blog post seems to have gone missing (possibly a quirk in my linux netbook) I'll take this moment to add a short note to an old blog post:
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day commemorates the Pilgrim's harvest feast celebrating in thanks to God for His teachings, by which they'd set aside and repented of the wrong path they had been taking. That repentance was part of what led to a time of prosperity and peace. People being as imperfect as we are, that time was brief, but it was a thing worth commemorating.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wish you well.

Update begins
I can haz Network+ certification!
Yep. At least at an entry level, I'm certifiable... As a network tech. Not that other thing. Maybe.
Just wanted to spread the happy around!
Update ends

Virtual servers, multimode optical fiber, and protocols, oh my!
If this helps me find work, that's all I need from it.

In the meantime: Ponies! I was taking a break and checking out old bookmarks. Remember this one?

It's an old video about the bronies carrying on after the last season of the show ends, living the lessons it taught. I sometimes wonder how many fans would have any slightest understanding at all of what this PMV is saying.

But what do I know? I'm just a guy with a chicken on his head.
