CiscoLiveVirtual

Here's my blogspace on the CiscoLiveVirtual space.  You have to login to www.ciscolivevirtual.com and then click the link, otherwise it will say "content not allowed" or somesuch nonsense.


My pal Dane DeValcourt has started compiling a list of twitter people that will be attending CiscoLive 2010 in Las Vegas - his CiscoLiveVirtual blogspot is here and you have to login first before this link will work too..


CiscoLive is also compiling a Twitter list.. between these two lists, you shouldn't have to be alone in the crowd :)

Reasons why I haven't been studying..

Lately I've been outdoors doing mesh wireless surveys quite a bit.. I've been to Lewisville, TX surveying a city park, in Waco, TX at a trucking load/unload center, on top of a 20 ft ladder (!) at a community college in Dallas, on a couple of rooftops in San Angelo, TX, and last week I was back in Dallas doing an indoor survey in a hospice.


Now it is that time of year again - for the Paramount Summer Movie Fest..


I just *can't* say no to the films that are in this years' lineup..
Black Sunday & The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
Goodfellas & Raging Bull

The upcoming list of films that are going to ease the passing of the hot Texas summer:


Breakfast at Tiffany's
Roman Holiday
Giant
Last Picture Show
Wings
Baby the Rain Must Fall
Sunset Boulevard
In a Lonely Place
Alice Adams
Badlands
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Pretty in Pink
Odd Man Out
Brighton Rock
The Red Shoes
Alien - The Director's Cut
2010


I promise I'll get back to studying once I've taken in all these wonderful films showing on the big screen at the Paramount.. This only happens once a year, and who knows if any of them will repeat next year..


I just *had* to upload pictures of the marquee from this years' & last years' Summer Movie Fest..

CiscoLive Las Vegas 2010

Ok, I just got my magic code for CLLV10 & have booked all the travel/hotel/etc!
Now, to make a list of things to do and see in Vegas.  I'm not a gambler or heavy drinker - so there are a lot of things that won't be in this list..
