Cisco Experience

I am an Industrial Engineer with masters earned units in Information Technology. My project is still pending that’s why I haven’t graduated yet in Masters in IT. One subject I liked during my class in IT is the networking. We were so lucky because our school is affiliated with Cisco Academy, it is online based training, and we studied and took exam through the Cisco Academy network. It was unforgettable experience, their training materials was so comprehensive. You will learn networking technologies from basic LAN wiring and topology to advanced networking such as setting up world-wide-web network and administration of routers and servers, of course, all networking hard wares like routers are all Cisco brands.

There are emails from time to time from Cisco Academy to inform their alumni for schedule of Cisco certification. I’m looking forward for that certification but for now I have to finish my IT project to get my degree in Master in Information Technology. My current job as Industrial Engineer is very tough this year and I can’t focus with IT project for school. I planned to make IT projects which related and applicable to my current work so that I can have accomplishments for both sides. There is a proposal from my boss and I’m currently looking the possibilities to pursue the project as a project also for my completion in school.

For me, it’s good to combine the Industrial Engineering concepts with the Information Technology concepts, possessing this knowledge enable me to be more competent and keep updated with current technologies.

Friday night party

Our boss decided to celebrate his birthday in advance and he wanted it by the beach just a few meters away from our office. It's unusual because he often held his birthday inside the office and prepared snacks for our department. This time he wanted to prepare a dinner for our group and to make it more fun, we also contributed a little amount to add some food for the party. It was a short party but we all have fun. I hope there will be more party to come...

New PC at work

"Prison Break" TV series

I just started watching this TV series last week and right now I'm at episode 9 of season 2. My office mates were talking about this series earlier this year and they said that it's a very good story and thrill with the plan of the lead actors. I planned to watch it but I forgot to buy a DVD copy, maybe due to the cost :). But now I found a site in the internet that you can watch hit TV series that's why I enjoyed watching Prison Break, but of course, you need a faster internet connection to make your viewing fun.

Field job activities

Just finished the one week long field job activities of cascading the new wage and new program of our company. Being in agricultural firm, the plantations are normally located at distant different places. This is why the cascading or the information dissemination will take time. But it's done now, we will move on to the next step, which is, the implementation period. Another challenge!
