IINS 640-553 OCG Winner!

Thanks to everyone that sent in a submission for my book giveaway.  It was actually a tough decision but in the end I've awarded the book to Martin, a CCNA from Slovakia who's interested in pursuing the CCNA Security to help him further his career.

It would also seem that Martin has talents out side of networking...  He has mentioned to me that it would be alright if I mention his website, www.floorripper.com so I figure I'll oblige him ;)

Good luck on the CCNA-Sec Martin!  I look forward to hearing about your progress in the coming months.

So I have this book lying around doing nothing...

Right before I started this blog, and my path to the CCIE, I was a newly minted CCNP looking for my next step.  At the time I had thought that I wanted to go after a CCSP in the short term, with a CCIE after that.  Well, life doesn't always work out the way you think it will.  Instead of this path I ended up being head-hunted by my current employer who was looking to make me a CCIE.

Great story eh?  What does this have to do with you?  I'm glad you asked.

In preparation to go after the CCSP I bought myself a copy of the CCNA Security Official Exam Cert Guide (IINS 640-553).  I've never read it.  I've barely ever opened it.  The CD in the back is still sealed.  And it's extremely unlikely that I'm ever going to read it.

So I'd like you to have it.
