Hi guys,

Earlier on in the week, I faced off the CCIE lab (for the fifth) time and
this time round I got my number!

For the first three attempts I was able to get through the configuration
portion but the troubleshooting got me down (though each time my marks in
that area improved)
The fourth attempt, I guess I put too much focus on addressing my
troubleshooting shortcomings because things got flipped around and I passed
TS but failed configuration.

At least I knew I was now able to pass both sections, I just somehow needed
to make them both occur at the same time.

Fortunately for me, on Tuesday I was able to make that happen and obtained
my digits.  I think only those that didn't pass on the first go have an
understanding of the relief I (and my wife who was so supporting in each
non-successful attempt) felt.

In particular mailing lists like this one provided quite a bit of
motivation to keep things going when things didn't seem to go so well for
me, simply seeing other people keen to do things and asking questions (and
sometimes being able to provide suggestions myself) helped me re-group and
re-focus and not give up.  Now I get to brag like all the others that made
it through!

My blog which has a longer version of this story and a bunch of other
things I learnt along the way is here http://noshut.blogspot.com/ for those
that could be interested.

I'm not planning on doing another track any time soon but never say
never....
