There's no time like the future

As it's Friday and I've just got my Trainsignal CCNA CDs, I'm just going to get everything ready for Monday. Sounding like procrastination? That's because it is. No excuses. You see, the CCNA is made up of two exams, the ICND1 and the ICND2, you can either do them separately or together but since I'm more of a "kill two birds with one stone" kinda guy, I'm doing them together.

So I'm going to rip out all the videos and remove all the HTML/Flash crap from the CDs, move them to my external harddrive and watch them on my PS3 where I can play them at 1.5 times their normal speed to avoid falling asleep to the dulcet tones of CB. I've learned so many of my life lessons from episodes of the chipmunks that this may actually be a stroke of genius. Only time will tell.

Anyway, here's a graphical representation of where I am now, note, blue ring = achieved and red ring = still to achieve:

As you can see, I'm far from anything at the moment, but we all have to start somewhere. I've left out the Design and Wireless paths on purpose as at the moment, they're just not that interesting to me. My first real decision will come after the CCNA when I try to decide whether to continue and do the CCNP, CCIP or go for one of the other CCNAs instead. Ah well, at least I have a while before I have to choose, so for now I'm going to focus on the CCNA only.

Hell, I'm getting slightly motivated again, maybe I'll just watch the intro or a video or two...
