I’ve said before that I’m a fan of Laura Chappell’s training on network traffic / protocol / packet analysis.
I didn’t even know about all of the screencasts available from the site of Novell’s Connection magazine.? Check them out!
Did you know that Cisco routers have TCL and an Embedded Event Manager (EEM) that can trigger scripts?? I’ve known that they have TCL but haven’t played with it.? The EEM makes it even more powerful.
Check out this very informative article at TechRepublic, including a link to a Cisco overviews and a Scripting Community.
This has been around for a while, but I just found it–GOOG 411.
Just dial 800-GOOG-411 (800-466-4411) to try it.

Another great tip that I’ll use from the How-To Geek: install a little app that add a tabbed interface to the free ssh client PuTTY.
Get the PuTTY connection manager here.
If you want to learn more about PuTTY and other Windows SSH clients, check out this page.
The How-To Geek, which I will be reading regularly from now on, has a very nice article about svchost.exe — what it does and why there are so many instances of it running on our Windows machines.
On Windows Weekly episode 45, Paul and Leo talked to Ward Ralston, group technical product manager for Windows Server 2008.
From LinuxHaxor.? ? Another great tip found on lifehacker.
