Chock full of excuses

I am currently so full of excuses, I can't seem to find anymore inside of me... That's not true. I have a few... just for you! I will not be giving JUST excuses tonight. I will, however, share with you my super secret plan. I was going to ........ show the erasing of the configs from my lab equipment and then initial setting up! Woo! But. Currently having some technical difficulties and it's 11:30pm at night so I'm not sure how diligent I will be on them this evening. I apologize about this and I hope to have it working again soon. Until then... I can provide you with a picture or two but... It's really boring since it's just me trying to get Wind-blows to play nicely with my Ubuntu 13.04 install in VMWare Workstation.

Edit: I was wrong! At 11:45pm, I have been able to at least get the serial adapter working to communicate with the switch! We are in business for part of this! Now I just need to get the desktop recording software ironed out and we will be set! (PS - A few kinks here and there with the minicom profile at the moment but, no worries there. I'm on the case!)(PPS - Kinks are worked out with minicom. That really is a great tool! Kudos to those guys!)


Ok... I leave you with this for the evening. Tomorrow, provided I can get the video recording kinks worked out. We will learn how to get around this little screen and start setting up a Cisco 3560 Layer 3 switch.


(Edit #2: I think I have most of my issues figured out. I have to do a little work around for this but it should be doable. I basically can't record the video with sound, instead I'll have to edit in the sound after. Maybe it will work better that way and I will make less mistakes. But, yay video sooner than later!)
