V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well, the mailman brought me my official Cisco CCENT certification and wallet ID card today. They're out-of-stock on the decoder rings, though. They must be ordering them from the same Chinese distributor that we are. We haven't issued a Scot's MVP decoder ring in quite some time. I'm still studying. Shooting for 5 April for my ICND2/CCNA exam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 See! They're still on backorder. I think the company that makes them in China was the same one that was adding poisonous stuff to the pet foods. It might be a while before they get up and running again.

amenditman Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 yet another thread has succumbed to topic-distortion, crumbling into a shadow of the glory of its former self... ps +1 (i should get 5 or 10 for that post!) Did you use the command line nonsense generator to make that post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 At my forums, we call this "thread shredding". It's an art form with us. That being said, I would like to get my thread back on topic. I'm still studying, studying, studying... not as intensely as I would like, though. I'm much more casual about it lately. I hope that isn't a bad sign. I don't want to lose the burning motivation that I had a while back. That first crash course may have burned me out a bit. I seem to be more interested and the content is making more sense to me with my more casual approach, though. I can't drag this on forever, unfortunately. I need to knuckle down and get this second test taken care of so I can then take the easy ones (CompTIA). Oh, and I still need to find a job, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 So far, the trail hasn't heated up any; even with my new cert and all my LinkedIn networking. Get back to studying Worry about a job when you are fully qualified. You'll have more options so a greater chance of becoming a suit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm sorry, mom. I broke my promise to you and didn't study tonight. I played with conky. Blame iChase and Amenditman. Now you know that playing with conkers has been banned in the UK So in the interests of trans continental co-operation I must ask you to stop immediately. Even with full safety kit this practice is dangerous and can be deadly. As you see these deadly conkers are to be treated with caution in the wild. Layton I'm ashamed of you. Have you done your homework ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I had to google that. The game is played by two players, each with a conker threaded onto a piece of string: they take turns striking each other's conker until one breaks. I discovered that I indeed had the horse chestnut correct. We used to collect them as kids and keep them in a cigar box. I don't remember that we actually did anything with them. We US kids were not as inventive as the British or Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 That's funny. It reminded me of a toy in the U.S. back in the 60s that was banned at my school, too. They were called "knockers". There were two hardened plastic, colorful balls suspeded from two equal length strings and tied to a ring that you put on your finger. You were supposed to move your hand rapidly up and down and the balls would bounce of one another at the top and bottom of their rotations. Yes, you sickos out there... you can be interpreting this as something to do with genitalia, but I'm serious. Bob (Amenditman), do you remember what I'm talking about here? I'm going to go look for a pic... AHA! Wow! The things you see when you search for "knockers" these days. I had to add "toy" to get any... ahem... sensible results. Anyway, that's them above. They're calling them clackers, knockers, etc. these days, but that's them. They're still being sold. How 'bout that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amenditman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Bob (Amenditman), do you remember what I'm talking about here? Are you trying to say that I am in the same age bracket as you are? I'm shocked and offended! That picture, where did you get it. I thought I had destroyed all copies in existence. MOM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We US kids were not as inventive as the British or Irish. "We US kids were not as warlike as the British or Irish." The object of the contest is to smash the opponents conker to bits and eventually all the conkers of the local players. Thereby becoming the conquering king for the season.
