Hooray! I finally understand what a "neo-cloud" is. Many thanks to @scottrobohn.bsky.social at #NFD39.

Cool demos from Nokia of its EDA (Event Driven Automation) tool doing AI-driven root cause analysis of MTU mismatch and also BFD errors, along with a report and solutions. You can see it at Networking Field Day's stream at techfieldday.com/event/nfd39/

Jose: How do you break out of the console in CML?

Me: CTRL-]

Jose: That’s not what it told me when I signed in - it said “carrot”.

Me: Oh my you are so young.

Erika has had a thing for bees (because Obee) and also Snoopy and Woodstock are her chemo buddy obsessions. Rachel, my crocheting team member, had these in stock.

Coming to terms with the idea that I won’t make #CiscoLive in 2026. It will break a run of 13 straight starting in 2013.

Bringing back a case of Con Crud with a wife going through immunotherapy would be … bad.

Erika had a reaction to one of her meds. Apparently it’s fairly common with that particular chemo drug. More fluids, more prevention meds, & a slower rate of infusion, and she’s doing okay.

It’s getting late though; she’ll need to come back tomorrow for the final drug of this session. #CancerSucks

Erika investigating the chair the first time in it: This massages!

I’m not sure why I find this so fascinating.

Erika gets her port today, and starts chemo Thursday. Every three weeks for six months to start.

Me regarding documentation: Do as I say, don’t do as I fail to do.

Rachel: But the Pokemon stickers on the networking hardware are just not acceptable.

Richard: Of all the hills to die on-

Me: Or murder.

Rachel: *nod*

All it takes to get mad at your cell company is to start shopping for a new phone and see what “discount” you can get. And then compare your pricing to a “new” customer.

Rachel: I’m bowing out of lunch today. Want to save money.

Later …

Rachel: Honestly, with the way today is going I’m gonna go ahead and join you.

Me: Our little girl has grown up! She’s become as disillusioned as the rest of us!

Rachel: Thats not even funny-

Me: But you have to laugh anyway!

Steve: This is going very well -

Doug: You’ve jinxed it.

Chad: WiFi is permanently jinxed. Superstition doesn’t apply.

I can’t be the only dog owner that’s been tempted to put a doggie door on the bathroom door.

Me: Hmm this looks phishy.

Chad: You get the password reset email?

Me: Yeah.

Steve *checks phone* Me too.

Me: I expect I’ll get an email from security telling me “Good job for reporting that!”

Chad: It does smell like a test.

Obviously they should have demoted him to RB for three races before firing him and bringing Kvyat in as team principal

I didn't get to catch it live, but I highly recommend checking out this on-demand Cisco Live session presented by @tracketpacer.bsky.social and Eric Peterson. They share their knowledge about applying networking to the aerospace industry and provide overall great advice. See the session link below.

I think I should ask for the "morning after the party" slot next event.

But seriously - thanks for listening. It's a privilege to be a Cisco Live Speaker, and this means a lot.

The cough I have now could easily be allergies; at least it’s not dry and there’s something behind it. Yesterday was the first day back in the office; today is an ophthalmologist appointment which means dilation which means at least the morning off.
