Cisco Speaker/Presenter needed for Rubi-con 2002 [7:18265]

2001-09-02 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

Hello all,

Please don't consider this spam as I am asking about Cisco specifically. I
am one of the core members of the Rubi-con Network Security and Technology
Conference held yearly in Detroit, Michigan and I am looking for one (or
several for that matter) people who would be interested in coming to our
conference to speak about Cisco equipment, security and network technology.

The conference is held April 5th to 7th, 2002 in the Romulus Marriot in
Detroit, Michigan. We have speakers and attendees from all over the world
attending this, the 4th annual conference.

If you are interested in speaking, please let me know immediately so we can
give you a choice of dates and times to present.  If you want to put in a
plug about your work during your speech, that's fine as well. We look for
quality speakers and we think you would be a wonderful addition to our
line-up.

If you would like more information on Rubi-con, check out
http://www.rubi-con.org.

Even if you are not interested in speaking, it would be a treat to have you
come as an attendee.

Please send all messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (off list please) so
we don't drag this through the mailing list.

Thanks for listening,

Denis

Not at all.  Kill the bastard.  He is a poor C3PO replacement and deserves a
slow and agonizing death.  "Me no feel so good wit spear through mine chest"

Understand this...  I am a Star Wars freak.

I haven't a clue how Lucas is going to pull this off...

Here are the timetable problems that he faces:

Anakin obviously has to grow up and undergo Jedi training.  He also has to
fight
in the 'Clone Wars' along with Kenobi and the rest of the Jedi.  He needs to
mature to the point where he can develop the love interest with Queen
Amadala
(Luke and Leia's mother).

Presumably, all of this must happen in the Second Movie, because by the time
Episode III is completed, Amadala must be pregnant, Anakin must have his
accident and be lost to the dark side, and Kenobi must secret Amadala away
to
have the twins.  Luke has to be delivered to Owen and Beru on Tatooine, and
Leia
must be taken to Bail Organa on Alderaan.

Vader must also become Senator Palpatine's servant, Palpatine must dissolve
the
Senate, annointing himself Emperor, and together, the Emperor and Vader must
conduct the great Jedi purge.

These are simply the storylines which reasonably must be satisfied based on
what
we know to be History from the Episode IV, V, and VI perspective.

Of course, some people think I take this all too seriously.

RE: what is the average age of people in this stuff?

2001-02-26 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

I find myself in much of the same situation Dale is in.  At 20, I am busting
with energy most of the time. I know how to fix the problems and I have the
desire to, but I often get the "you're not old enough and experienced
enough" excuse from people who haven't seen my work.  A lot of people assume
that experience and ability comes with age. I agree with that point to a
degree.  However, I know a lot of teenagers who are brilliant and a lot of
people in their 40s who don't have sense enough to get out of the rain. :-)

RE: CCIE salary

2001-02-22 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

Things are very similar here.   The thing I've found in Michigan is that
most people with certs get jobs based on the certs, not their knowledge.
This really really isn't fair for people who got the certs BECAUSE they were
knowledgable in that area, but that's life.  Around here, depending on the
size of the company, an MCSE can make 55-90k, a CCNA can make 45-60k, a CCNP
makes 55-80k, a CNE5 (only Novell) makes about 50k and a CCIE can make
130-150k.  The two CCIEs I know both make over 150k because they do nothing
but design massive networks for ISPs and backbone providers.

Subject: Re: CCIE salary


The thing is, nothing other than the CCIE cert matters...

CCNA = difficult to find a job
CCNP = around $65k annually
SUN certs = around $65k annually
MCSE = around $55k annually
CNE5 = around $45k annually
Notes certs = around $60k annually

Here's the catch: CCNP, plus SUN cert, plus MCSE, plus CNE5 = around $65k
annually.

CCIE = around $125 annually

The difference is that CCIE's will get higher end, network architect type
positions, while all the other certs will get you Systems Administrator jobs
that might also have responsibility for a router or switch or two...

Outside the System Admin circle, there simply isn't the demand for these
lower end certs. If you want to design and build large, complex enterprise
networks, you wimply won't get that job until you are a CCIE. If you want to
administer those networks and the systems that reside on them, then these
lower certs are your ticket to an interview...

This is the DC, Baltimore, Northern Virginia market mindset, but I expect
that things are similar elsewhere.

"Pre-IPO" in our current market could mean you might strike it rich over

traditionalist and stick with estabilished companies, but there is something

RE: Disappointed with ccnp!!

2001-01-09 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

I have to agree, but from the other side of the scope. I'm 20 and got into
it because I loved it, but also because I wanted the money.  When I got into
computers (about 9 years ago), I really wanted to be rich and powerful.  I
grew up in a lower-class family (sub 25k/year) and I didn't want to live
like that.  I started mowing lawns why I was 12 to get the money that I
could prove against my peers.  I mowed 60 lawns a week and went to school.
Lots of good money, almost $40k year actually, but I hated the work. Then I
got really heavily into computers.

As for people switching gears, I often find that young people are even more
into switching than older folks.  The trends tends to show that from 18-25,
people will switch careers (or atleast physical jobs) from 3-4 times.  That
is pretty typical.

I believe these people feel threaten by younger people coming up the ranks,
who have been exposed to computers since they were kids. These old guys
probably started their computing career from another field, and switched
careers because of the money. We kids were always into computers because we
loved it, and weren't concerned with monetary rewards.

 Don't be disappointed with your CCNP, that's for sure...  Just don't
 consider it the end all to getting that job.  I started with my company
in
 June 1999 with an MSCE and CCNA, neither of which I attained with work
 experience, one with school, the other self study.  I got a job setting
up
 small LANs for scanning projects, and then doing the scanning along with
the
 others!  Then, moved UP to the help desk!!!  Didn't even start there, is
 what I am getting at.  Got promoted in 2 months to help desk supervisor
by
 doing a good job (I think), then moved to engineering team in 6 months to
 help design our new Cisco network because there were only 2 other CCNAs
 around to do it.  In June of 2000 I attained my CCNP, with some work
 experience on the equipment and our test lab at work. Now I would
consider
 myself a valuable member of our Network Infrastructure team, but it
didn't
 happen overnight, and even though I wanted it to happen, I really didn't
 expect it to at this company based on where I started.

 One more thought.  There are those, including a very senior Microsoft
 Architect here, who still say I don't have enough experience to go after
my
 CCIE, that it would not benefit myself, or the company because even if I
 attained it, I would not have enough years of experience to  back that
cert.
 Well to him, I said, I am not going to sit around 10 years until I have
your
 experience, I am going to study everyday, and get involved with every
 network problem and design issue I can to gain experience faster in
 troubleshooting methods, and seeing various levels of problems.  To that
he
 just shook his head and said with a smile...  Kids nowdays..  ;-)  By the
 way, I am 32.  Not really a kid anymore.  hehehehe

 I don't know you personally, but I have some
 suggestions for you to think about. Don't let that
 certification go to your head. If you give the
 impression to an employer that you deserve to have a
 job because of your CCNP, you will not get hired.
 Don't think that you are better than others because of
 your CCNP. Also, your personality and attitude that
 you show during interviews is critical in landing that
 first job. Show that you can be a team player and can
 work well and get along with almost anyone. And
 lastly, consider other entry level positions, such as
 help desk, because you don't have any actual work
 experience. Employers don't really consider "lab" as
 work experience. Hope 

labs for anything but CCIE?

Cisco vs. HP Switches

2000-12-07 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

We are looking at four new 24 port switches for our network.  We have Cisco
and HP as our final contenders.  Both the HP Procurve and the  Cisco
Catalyst carry similar specs, but the HP is about 20% of the cost of the
Cisco.  Can someone give me a REAL reason why the Cisco Catalyst would be a
better choice. Our network is all 10/100 for now and we won't need Gigabit
for at least a couple of years.  We need these switches to be in 24 port
configurations as the company is going to split in two in a couple of months
and move half of the operations to another building, so we need to be able
to split the network as needed.  I know this is a Cisco group, which is why
I am asking it here, because I want a BIASED opinion of why Cisco would be
better in this situation.  Thank you all for your suggestions.

Denis

Wireless Networking

2000-12-06 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

I am going to have to rewire our whole network for centralization in the
next couple of months and am looking at possibly making some or all of it
wireless.  We have an all NT network.  We currently have approximately 60
nodes. We will probably be up to 80-100 nodes within 2 years. We were
looking at using Cisco gear to replace our aging Kingston network.  The
whole LAN is less than 200 feet in length from end to end and will be
meeting in the middle at around the 100 foot mark. Here are the questions:

Would wireless technology be a possibility?

Would it be cheaper in the long run to just rerun homeruns to a centralized
switch and stay wired?

What technology would we need to make this work?

If we have to stay wired, what switch would you recommend?

Does wireless really only go up to 11MB?

Thanks for all your help.

Denis

average salaries

2000-11-27 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

Is there a survey somewhere of average salaries for various Cisco Exam
holders?  Or IT people with certifications in general?  I am coming up for
review in a few weeks and am about ready to take my CCNA, but would like
some ammunition to use against the board of directors.

CCNA 1.0 to 2.0

2000-11-21 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

I was wondering if the 1.0 exam becomes obsolete (doesn't count anymore)
after the 2.0 exam comes out.  I know that Microsoft makes you renew your
exam every couple years, does Cisco do as well?

RE: Transcenders

2000-11-16 Thread Denis A. Baldwin

Transcenders are a little high priced, but I've always found them to be very
complete.  I've never used the Boson tests. What makes them better? More
questions?  More detailed?  Please be exact as I'm going to make my practice
test purchase soon.

Denis

 overpriced and boson are better
 tran - 179$
 boson - 29.95$
