Improving your career with Cisco Certification
My background and training has been in IT for a few years. I started out cutting my teeth on UNIX back when Microsoft had a version of it. That has been awhile. The training include building the hardware, installing and wiring the terminals, also formatting and installing the Unix operating systems with custom setups. I have always enjoyed the support of a Unix system. At some point along came Microsoft and changed the computer networking game for small and mid-size businesses. What most techs liked about Unix was that all of users were feed from their own cable out of the central cpu, enable network troubleshooting and customer support a very quick resolve issue.
The other networking computer comes into the mix is the IBM AS400. This is a really good server box. The server never has to be shutdown, it just keeps on going keeping your business operational. For the last 8 of 10 years I have had the opportunity to utilize an AS400 with Cisco Networking and Firewall. I find the Cisco products functional easy to update and make mods to the script software language that it uses to run the hardware. Most all of my training on AS400 and Cisco products has been hands-on real world business support experience. I have been wanting to get a Cisco certification, especially the CCIE certification. This it the certification that all the IT people I have meet want. The Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Certification says that the individual inquestion has expert-level knowledge of networking across various LAN and WAN interfaces, knowledge on a variety of routers and switches. This is also call the Expert Level Knowledge and Experience.
You can get your Cisco CCNA network associate certification, this certification test validates that you have the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot routed and switched networks on the medium size level and implementation the said products along with verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. The in between Cisco certification is the CCNP certification, the professional network is validated wit the ability to install, configure and troubleshoot wide-area and local-area networks with a range of between 100 to 500 nodes. Any of the Cisco certifications are very popular with employers and will put you on top during job interviews along with giving you boost increase to your base salary.
What happen to the Dots in Delicious?
One everybody’s favorite book marking platform has lost its dots. It seems the owner of Del.icio.us, Yahoo is dropping the dots, and has done a complete overhaul of the new Delicious.com social book marking tool. In the last few years the Del.icio.us has grown from 300k unique users to almos 5 million users, the Delicious service also boosts over 150 million bookmarking links. That is alot of links. With the update of its search engine, Delicious Version 2.0, is designed to work faster an more responsive and reliable with improved bookmark search. The old del.icio.us will continue to work, Yahoo says that you will need to login to the new Delicious.com because it requires a new log-in cookie.
This is pretty cool a large outfit like Yahoo taking advantage of the power of social Bookmarking
Savings accounts for my Water trip costs
Just the other day we drove to pay the water bill it is a nice little twenty mile drive one-way. To get back to the house for our monthly water bill drive, cannot pay online would save allot of time, this means it costs about $8 dollars to pay the water bill. If I could pay online like I should be able todo I could take that $8 cost each month and put the cash into a back account that earns interest. I have heard that alot of online banks can offer you some of the best annual percentage yield on their accounts and they are federally insured banks. Could not loose in this case. The folks at eMoneyCentral lists savings accounts, checking accounts and CD-certificate of deposits that could be making you very good money if you opened an account. They track the best rates on all types of accounts on banks across the United States. Kind of like a hunting dog sniffing out the money making interest accounts for your money providing tables that display interest rates in order from the highest to the lowest paying accounts along with minimum deposit needed for you to open an account. The internet as a money manager. Very nice. Maybe I can make enough extra interest money to may for my water board trip.
Sweating, Cooling and your AC compressor
In the south the Summers get really hot and humid. The temp can be 85 outside with 105 degree with humidity. This makes for some sweating. Now in the mornings I do not use the air conditioning, the saves me fuel and reduces wear on the ac compressor. In the afternoon, If I am driving by myself I will not run the air conditioning compressor, I just sweat. Sweating is a pastime in the south. The engine puts major stress on our air conditioning compressor along with the rest of the auto ac parts while driving. By chance it goes out you will have not cold. Having a hard time finding AC parts or compressor for your vehicle? Weather you have Honda ac compressor to a BMW or Mercedes AC compressor the folks at Discount AC Parts will have a compressor for your make and model of vehicle. Internet is a great database for finding automobile parts, have done it many times.
Goal Setting with Mecanbe

Life goes on for Telenet and ssh
Since the early eighties I have been using telnet and ssh service in my work with computers. As data handling has given you many more options over the years since the internet, the folks of Pragma systems has kept alive the use of telnet and ssh commands with their SSHD client suite for the connectivity of transfering networking software or data in Fortune 500 companies.
WOW! Google now tracking over 1 trillion webpages
When we all thought the milestone of a billion webages indexed by Google search engine was amazing data base. Google reached the billion indexed billion webpage milestone was in the year 2000. This 1 Trillion webpage index could be the reason that the internet seems to be getting slow, and the reason my websites are being ranked number one
The news came on the Official Google Blog, where the company announced that they are now tracking 1 trillion unique URLs on the web.
This means we can find content from 1 trillion - 1,000,000,000,000 unique URLs on the web at once. Wonder how many computers do you need to hold this many sites with content? These numbers will multiply very quickly and fast. Over the next 5 years we could see the internet users double as soon as some of the other countries become more technical. Many of the Asian countries will almost double internet users. When India gets fully online then they will double again.
How long does it take to count to 1,000,000,000,000???? A very long time
Like cell phone facts, there should be a handy guide with information on cameras as well as the latest laptop, the most affordable flat panel tv and free ringtones.

Business is about shipping scales and balances
The business of shipping is an interesting kind of business. When preparing to ship you can weigh the products to get a starting price for the product. If the package is say like a box in a small or medium size, then the price to ship the product is pretty straight forward. Now if you packace is like a pole or oversized there are extra charges based on overall size, weight and fragile rating. Just in case the package shipped with the wrong postage amount due size or if you charge a home shipping rate instead of the business rate the shipping company will bill you the shortage. This is at the time it is too late to back charge the customer.
To reduce the back bill from the shipping companies, we use the latest in scales and balances along with Postal Scales that calculate postage rates. Our Shipping scales interfaces with UPS Wordship software. The cost reduced some but every once in a while those nasty odd ball sized package will get shipped incorrect.
I might at some point invest in large scale industrial grade floor scales. If you need more information on scales go see the folks at Quick Supply, QuickSupply carries a large selection of Shipping Scale and balances to suite everyone’s business needs. Including commercial medical scales to Food scales for the supermarket, deli, or convenience stores. The part I like best is Free shipping on every order. Nothing beats free.
Thunderbird has new life
Looks like the folks at Mozilla are bring new life to it’s Thunderbird product. Thunderbird is an e-mail software product. Mozilla is fixing 9 patched nine security vulnerability bugs. It also looking like that Thunderbird 3.0 will be coming soon. The Thunderbird Alpha 1 preview has been sent for developers for over two months.
The bug patchs for Thunderbird, were fixed in Firefox that rendered the engine’s CSSValue array data structure. The vulnerabilities could be used by hackers to force a software crash along with running malicious code.
I have loaded and played with Thunderbird in the past, I think I will give it another try when they release version 3.
Keeping a peace of mind with insurance
Over the past many years one of the things that my family has been covered by medical insurance and life insurance. Do not use either of them much but they are available if needed. One of the nice kinds of insurance is mortgage insurance. Mortgage Insurance can also go by Private mortgage insurance (PMI). mortgage protection insurance is insurance payable to a lender or trustee that may be required when taking out a home mortgage loan. It is insurance to offset mortgage payments, paying off the mortgage in full in case you die before the mortgage is paid. At least your spouse will not have to worry about the house payment if something happens to you. Another good type of protection is to have mortgage disability insurance, this insurance will make your mortgage payment encase you become hurt badly or disabled keeping you from earning a living.
Life insurance or as some call it, life assurance, is a contract between you the policy owner and the insurance company that you purchase the life insurance from(the insurer). The insurer agrees to pay you a lump sum of money upon the occurrence of your death or other event, such as terminal illness. The policy owner (You) agree to make a payment of a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals to the life insurance company.
I read an article the other day that suggest that bills and death expenses plus catering for after funeral expenses should be included in Policy Premium. I could sign up for that, the less expenses the better. All of these polices are good to have to relieve any worry and give you a piece of mind knowing that everything will be taken care of encase of the worst.
Me worry yes, but I should be around about another 80 years.
Wine and Digital Printing Technology
Wine is one of the oldest made beverages in the world. Today there are many varieties and brands of wine. Most do not taste that much different from each other. I have noticed that most of the current wine bottles have fancy labels.
Most of the fancy wine labels are made with Digital Printing Technology. The label manufacturer Label World can fix you up with custom digital labels for their niche market of large-scale businesses like wineries, food and medical industries and food companies.
Is there one industry that is not using digital printing technology yet?
The rise of .ME
I mentioned this friday, GoDaddy launched the sale of .m domain extensions. The servers were on overload. Godaddy sold over 20,000 .Me domain names at there register site in the first 24 hours.
20,000 x 19.95 = $399,000 USD not bad for a day of just taking orders. Godaddy is calling this a huge sucess, largest launch in company history. With any large internet sales with tens of thousands of folks via for a lucrative .me domain there are bound to be problems and their were.
May be I will get on the next big domain launch.
