CCDE – A different Journey
Wednesday the 22nd of February, in a testing center in the middle of London, my journey towards achieving the CCDE certification, finally ended in me passing this beast of an exam.
This learning journey was a very different one than either of my CCIE’s. Whereas going for the CCIE meant spending countless hours at the command-line, the CCDE meant spending all of those hours reading and discussing use cases for technologies. It also meant stepping my toes into the business side, picking up the “Why?” behind selecting a specific technology.
It all started a few years ago when my friend Daniel (lostintransit.se) and I started going back and forth on how to approach this thing. We decided we should team up and share notes, discuss technologies and generally use each other as a sparring partner.
At that point I had already decided, that this was going to be a marathon for me, because I could at the time, not allocate as much time each day for study, as I had been for the CCIE’s. Fast forward a good amount of time and I had finally passed the written part of the exam and was ready to Continue reading

Join us this year at OCP Summit
It’s that time of the year again! And no, we’re not talking about the arrival of the Spring Equinox (although we’re pretty excited about that too). It’s time for OCP Summit — one of our favorite events of the year. Why you ask? We are committed to the open compute project and we love sharing that passion with others in the industry. This year our summit schedule is chock-full of presentations, booth demos, networking and a multitude of discussions covering how organizations can go web-scale with Cumulus Networks.
What we’re doing at OCP Summit
First off, if you are attending Open Compute Project Summit this year, please stop by our booth for an up close and personal look at Backpack running Cumulus Linux. If you stop by, you’ll also be lucky enough to watch our cofounder and CTO, JR Rivers, demo the product and answer all of your burning questions.
This year we decided to treat attendees to everyone’s favorite fluffy snack — yup, we’ll have our very own cotton candy machine, so stop by during that post-lunch slump for a quick sugar hit. When you come by the booth, you’ll have a chance to enter our giveaway for a Continue reading
A quick note about iconoclasm
I'm an iconoclast [*]. Whenever things become holy, whereby any disagreement is treated as heresy, then I disagree. There are two reasonable sides to every argument. When you vilify one of the sides in the argument, then I step into defend them -- not that they are right, but that they are reasonable.This makes many upset, because once a cause has become Holy, anybody disagreeing with orthodoxy (like me) is then, by definition, a horrible person. I get things like the image to the right.
(Please don't harass/contact this person -- she believes what many do, and singling her out would be mean).
For the record, I'm rabidly feminist, anti-racist, pro-LGBT, pro-civil-rights. It's just that while I care a lot, I'm not Orthodox. I likely disagree with you about the details. When you vilify those who disagree with you, I will defend them.
...which is the best troll, ever. Admitting somebody is wrong, but defending them as reasonable, seems to upset people more than just arguing the other side is right.
