A small post to let you know guys that was an very expensive lunch at Cisco yesterday…
Category: CCIE
I’ve been quite since my last bootcamp, doing the excelent Narbik’s Workbook and IPExpert Workbook. I am sitting on the second bootcamp from 7 to 11 september in London as my lab date is the 22th september … Let’s listen now to Narbik now
The last day Narbik finish QoS (I miss this part, sleeping … :\) and then lecture on Multicast, with always a very clear way to explain. After lunch, we finish Mcast and Labs Strategy lecture start.
Narbik tell me that I have to focus on doing techno by techno, do switching and just do that, nothing else and then move on.
So will I change my previous roadmap ? YES ! I have booked the lab 22 september 2009, and will attend to the next bootcamp just before the date. Spain and Poland will be at the end of august has he said.
4 month will keep me really busy.
So how about Warsaw ? To rent a bike in Warsaw, is a very good deal ! I Negotiate 200zt for 7 days here , I take the time to visit the old city. I book at Meksyk Hotel, it was really close to the Hector Training Center, really nice and clean place, may be next time we will have dual whiteboard.
I just can say that Warsaw is Green, everywhere. The last day of Daniel ( CCIE candidate from Romania, 2nd attempt next week ), we’ve been to the old city and take a nice diner. I really like this guy, very funny and cool man.
Sunday, it was a raining day, ouch ! all day was like that. went to Arkadia to buy some *souvenirs* but it was a Holiday day … everything was clooooosed. Take a cab to the airport and bought some stuff on duty free shops and take the plane.
Back to Paris, the journey just start ! I have 7 printed workbook and 2 electronic to Finish, I’ll keep you inform !
Narbik’s quote of the day : “Dot not more, not less, anything you configure can be used against you”
Last word, follow Nickelby Thane CCIE Candidate, he just at Narbik’s Bootcamp !
Last picture, all Narbik’s Followerz !

I’ll be in Warsaw from 25 to 29 May.
So why I choose Narbik? Well Ethan Banks, CCIETalk, Matt Hill, Lucio Jankok, Carl Burkland, EDF , PetePacket, CCIE Form and so the list is long, they have been there and talk about it, they all give me a good impression about the quality and the way of how Narbik teach, also the re-seat policy, and finaly the location… !
Narbik says that the new workbooks 2.0 are coming for the bootcamp in May, coming with the new V4 CCIE RS … I guess
I got the Volume 1 yesterday, now it’s time to work!
Recent changes on the CCIE RS like OEQ, the v4 in a short time! The 360 Program fit of course the new changes, how about other vendors? Seem that IE are already taking care and make vseminare on mpls! Guess IPExpert guys are still busy to blog about it
update 1 : Ipexpert on the road of the v4
update 2 : My bad, ipexpert blogged about it on 06/05/09 !
It’s been long time since I passed the written, I change my job, and so on, … I am 10 month from the lab. Anyway, I am back on the road !
I bought the IPExpert BLS, and right now I am working on IPExpert Vol1 and waiting ( as soon as I register on the bootcamp ) for the famous Soup-To-Nuts … :
- Complete vol1 of IPExpert / Narbik’s Soup-To-Nuts (to finish before 25 may!)
- Going to Narbik’s Bootcamp in Poland (25/29 May 09)
- Complete Vol2 of IPExpert / Narbik’s advanced RS Workbook (this summer)
- Back To Narbik’s bootcamp (London or Amsterdam would be great)
- Complete Vol3 of IPExpert / Mock Lab (Sept to Jan)
- Brussels (Jan 10)
This is the first version my plan :
