So I brought the CCNA book into the house today and managed to study a random section - the wireless section. I got all but two of the review questions right. I'll need to memorize the mazimum effective distances and maximum distances but otherwise I know 90% of that section really well.

I'm going to pick a random section each day and study it then take an exam test each night to see where I stand. I need help in all areas.

I've been keeping up with my tasks I've set for myself using "Remember the Milk". If you've never looked at it I highly suggest it. It's an online service that syncs with iPhone/Linux/Windows and supposedly with Mac but I haven't managed that yet. Anyway the free service syncs everything once per day but for $25/year you have a lot more flexibility including multiple syncing at any time. We can't afford that yet so I'm maintaining the list promarily on the iPhone and letting it sync to the others. So far it's working well for me.

So I finally got back out to the workshop to study and I find I need to do a bunch of updates on the computers again because I keep them off when I'm not out there.

They're updating now. I'm trying to get down to two regular-use systems out here so I don't have to wait so long to update or even get up and running. That's tough because the one system is low on RAM so it's a bit slower at times. RAM doesn't cost that much but every penny counts. (And yes I know I could have bought RAM for the price of the Neon's cluster lighting but the lighting was a bit dim and I really really don't want an orange dash unless it's in Klingon. Hmm...nah!) Anyways I'll try and pick up RAM here next month and just live with the slowness until I do.
