A long time ago I had a pretty successful blog located at mellowd.co.uk/ccie - I used this blog at the time to document my journey towards my CCIEs and well as my JNCIE. Unfortunatley, I lost the entire blog in a botched upgrade a few years back. My intention here is to try and republish some of my better posts. I’ll be able to extract this info from the wayback machine. Note that a lot of the posts were relevent years ago and things have since moved on. But some of the fundamentals never change :)
I’ll be releasing content over the coming weeks. There is no real timeline.
Update (October 2026): The restoration is complete! I managed to recover the full archive (34 technical posts, all original diagrams, and Wireshark captures), modernize the theme, and preserve 15 years of inbound links.
