Default Re: Introduce Yourself

I'm a New Zealander, currently based in the UK.

I've been using/administering Check Point for I guess 4 or so years now. Mainly Provider-1 and Nokia, in a few reasonable-sized environments. Prior to that, I used to do Unix admin and OpenView support. I've also done a fair bit of Cisco stuff along the way. Picked up the usual suspect certs here and there (CCNP/CCDP, CCSE+, CCMSE).

I started out in NZ, then last year I moved to the UK, to do a few contracts, and travel. I've just completed my current contract, and so I guess that makes me technically unemployed. No bother though, I'll pick something up shortly, or just have a holiday for a bit!

Next year I'll probably head home, going the slow way - overland on my bike. After that, who knows? Will I keep doing this? Can't say for sure. If I do, I'll probably do that new top-level cert, if I don't do my CCIE first.

But in the meantime, I'll hang around here and try and answer the easy questions I can answer. Keeps me thinking about stuff, and improves my knowledge.
