Montague Matters

My old laptop bag bit the dust and I picked up a new one from Wal-mart -- Sorry Mr. Norman.  The new one is a SWISSGEAR by Wenger, from the Maker of the Genuine Swiss Army Knife.  I picked up the 17" laptop model.  The quality of this bag is awesome.  It not only fits my laptop and all the accessories, but also has room left for my binder, my folder of to-do stuff, and a book I'm reading... and thats just in the front, I still have room in the back for my clipboard & nomination papers, ID cards, etc.

MONTAGUE, MA -- Commute was slow this morning on Sunderland Road due to a minor two car accident.  I don't think anyone was hurt.

I passed my CompTia Network+ Certification test today.  I add this to my growing pile of industry certifications.

I'd been studying the 2005 edition of the certification and was ready to take the exam when they released the 2009 edition.  I took some extra study time and went with the current objectives. If I continue down this career path, the next certification to tackle will be Cisco. 

I should have my actual certificate and handy wallet card in about a week. 

What is CompTia Network+?

"The CompTIA Network+ certification is the sign of a competent networking professional. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that proves a technician’s competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructure."
