SLAG TIME!!

Alright folks, time to ring my nerd bell loud and clear.

I just picked up Alien Nation - The Complete Series in all of its Sci-Fi, Nerd Luvin', Geek Gatherin' goodness!

This series is 100 percent responsible for me losing mass amounts of gaming and BBS time during its run. There wasn't too much that could pull me away from my Commodore 64 back in those days and this was a rare exception! The whole concept of the slags setting up shop here on good ol' Mother Earth and then playing out the whole "race card" issue made for some great science and fiction!

Nope, they just don't make 'em like this anymore.

In other 'SjN' news, I'm going for my CCNP certification test in a couple of weeks so I've been really hitting the books. I'm confident that I'll pass it. My problem is that I've got tons of "street smarts" as I work in Cisco gear every day. Its the "book smarts" that I need to brush up on. In other words, there is a right way to configure and troubleshoot Cisco routers & switches, a wrong way to configure and troubleshoot Cisco routers & switches, and a CISCO way configure and troubleshoot Cisco routers & switches!!!

Such is my delima.

Well, back to the books for some quality study time and then its time to pop open a Dr. Pepper, grab a bag of Doritos and "Nerd Out" on ALIEN NATION!!


Take Care All
Stay Nerdy!
