I haven't added anything here in awhile, so I decided I would post a little about what's been going on with my bad self.

I got promoted at work to Technical Services Manager and now I am in charge of almost all of the daily operations at my work and also have a huge hand in infrastructure planning. I guess all my network geekery is starting to pay off.

I'm currently planning on increasing the versatility of our OPTEMAN links between our datacenters by implementing Q-in-Q on our core Foundry equipment. OPTEMAN is a service provided by AT&T that is basically just Ethernet over Fiber via their Metro. Area Network (OPTical-Ethernet-MAN). What I ultimately hope to accomplish, is the ability to use CARP across multiple datacenters to provide redundancy for some of our core infrastructure services; For example: DNS.

Oh, and even though I just got promoted and love my job I've decided I am going to move to L.A. It's something I've always wanted to do but did not have the means to do. I have decided to do this while I am still young and don't have anything holding me back. More on this later.

Another big part of the reason on why I haven't updated is that I don't really know what to write about? So far, everything I've written for this site has been information that I had alot of difficulty finding, or just plain didn't find anywhere else. I haven't come across anything that has been difficult to find lately, with the exception of all of the information I have on Q-in-Q. This information will be made available as soon as I get it up and running myself -- fully tested. I put alot of pride into my writing, and would hate to release an article based soley on assumptions. Because hey, you know what happens when you assume. ;-)
