Juniper training, house issues and a night walk

Another Juniper training course in North Sydney. This one was very busy and for 5 days. I learned a lot. I have to say I have a personal preference for Juniper over Cisco as the command line is much easier to drive.



Then when I came home, the builder had finally started on the planter boxes. He had to remove the plants, which he replanted in the garden and in pots, air conditioner and dirt, to try and find the two leaks in the planter box. Unfortunately he caused a earth leakage fault which meant that I could not run more than one light and the mobile phone recharger. The food in the fridge was lost. I first knew when the alarm company rang and said there was a loss of power on the alarm unit. However, the battery lasts a long time. I was impressed. The builder fixed the power problem the next day. I could not have a shower as the hot water, though gas, needs electricity to work.



So in the evening I did another of my weekly walks. This time I discovered a cliff in Sydenham and suffered vertigo. But otherwise I was fine.

Cisco QOS training

I did my first ever Cisco training, a five day course squeezed into three on Cisco QOS. This was not enough time. It needed at least 4 days. But I learned a lot.

Juniper training

I spent three days in North Sydney at the Juniper Office doing training on Juniper Routers. It has severely impacted my very poor knowledge of Cisco commands as Juniper has a much better and very similar command structure.



And I bumped into Stilgherrian, met Kate for the first time and then Pong over lunch and by chance.

Reach's Christmas Dinner

Well we went out onto the harbour as is the tradition at Reach. This year's event was a complete turn around from last year. Good weather, a nice boat, no danger of drowning and good food. I ate mostly with the accounting section, they are good company. I did not remember to take my camera, which was sad. So there are just a few snaps from the mobile phone.
