@Girlpatriot1974 That was soo cool to watch, she had them go up. When a Teams guy says its high, I believe it.

@rschmied_csco I installed bare metal a week ago. Had to reset the BIOS since I couldn't get the boot manager prompt without a password. Installed on a UCS C240, had CIMC access to mount the reflplat ISO. Nice to have but @EVE_NG_TEAM is still my main lab platform.

Did record a video about installing Windows 11 into CML 2.9 from zero to hero. It’s quite lengthy (32 mins) and still needs some editing — but will hopefully publish it tomorrow. All ingredients are readily available. Some stitching required, plus patience. Works great!

Holy crap! Ozzy is gone! RIP Ozzy!

@rtggeek @MegaFood Sounds like a major hallucination.

Yet another instance of "AI gone wild." Tried to order from @MegaFood supplements. Order canceled. Called to find out why. "Your account has been flagged as potential fraud. This is not something we can fix, it's all automated. There is no way to ever order from our web site again." The attitude of the person on the phone was clearly: "We don't need or want your business, feel free to buy your supplements someplace else." IT has not made customer service "better," it's made the whole thing passive-aggressive. @MegaFood you need to fix your system.

@Narbik has been found! So good to finally meet you!

@neilmoore has been found! Good catching up with you Neil!

I'm planning on being around the #CiscoLive Cisco certification lounge tomorrow 11 til 12. Tuesday 1 til 230 and the world of solutions. Wednesday 1030 til 1 and world of solutions. If you see me anywhere else, stop me and say hi!

So... I failed. Did ok on the practical but need to spend more time in some areas. Post day 2 video later today.

The speakers for the NSO session hooked everyone up with the CCNP SPCOR ebook, practice test and practice lab voucher. Super nice guys and exceptional knowledge and insights into the SP exam. #CiscoLive

@JosepherMorgan Sounds good man.

@RikerRob If I see you I owe you a drink for getting me thru a big viptela project with your lab

Still no word on the exam results for taking the CCDE practical at #CiscoLive Saturday. Fingers crossed!

Just got to my #CiscoLive NSO session this morning as I prep for the SP CCIE!

@andylapteff Simply put, fat burn is done at lower heart rates, you're not tapping into glycogen stores at higher heart rates. I find walking on a treadmill, 7% incline at 2.5 mph and my heart rate is about 120 bpm. Then determine how many calories/hour burned, 3500 calories is 1lb of fat.

Can someone explain zone 2 training to me like I’m 8? Math says I should sit at 102 for zone 2, but I’m currently sitting at 132, 30 minutes into a bike ride, and that feels right. How does working less hard make me better? Going easy seems counterintuitive.

@IvanIva29134106 @HankYeomans Sounds to me like you'd find some value working in the VAR space for a while. There's definitely a lot of organizations that don't need a CCIE on staff, but benefit from having access to one when they need it. It's more the knowledge than the certification itself.

@RikerRob @HankYeomans The CCIE is needed in partner companies... I`m interested in seeing some kind of a research how many CCIEs are really needed by the business...

@IvanIva29134106 @HankYeomans I disagree. A lot of customers I've worked with/on need the guidance of the CCIE level when it comes to architecture and you only get that if you know networking really well. If you want to be "another" net eng, cool. But there's more to it than "keep the lights on".

@RikerRob @HankYeomans It`s more valuable what you learn if you then use it and build additional knowledge on top. A lot of the companies don`t need CCIEs, they just need another network guy to keep the lights on...
