Quinn Ebert

Greetings!

MY INTRODUCTION TO THE CLASS:

Quick Note: This paragraph is a copy-and-paste from my previous term’s “All-Course Introduction” — If we’ve met before, you can probably just resume reading in the next paragraph.

My name is David Quinn Ebert, and I am a 24-year-old Certified Novell Netware (v4.11) Administrator from Greensboro, North Carolina.  I am enrolled in ECPI’s Bachelor of Sciences in Network Security program, in the hopes of giving myself a more solid foundation for my future work-related endeavors.  In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games (I own an Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo 64, and of course a computer).  I also enjoy working on my own programming projects (I am most-fluent in Visual Basic, PHP, and Python), and I quite enjoy watching movies (and TV shows) on and from NetFlix.  In addition to all this, I enjoy helping folks out around me when I can, and since computers are “my thing,” I am more than happy to help out folks around here in any way I can, and hope to have the opportunity to help out at least one or two of you, my fellow classmates, with class-related items and issues as we progress through this course.

MY OBJECTIVES IN THIS CLASS:

Especially if the pre-test for this course is any indication, I have quite a lot to learn here.  The fact that we get to learn using the assistance of Virtual Lab software in this class, for me anyway, is rather exciting.  I know I am especially eager to learn about some of the “router commands” that the pre-test makes reference to; call me crazy, but I’ve always liked learning more about specialized systems (especially embedded ones).  I hope to learn quite a bit of directly-applicable skill on routing hardware from this class.  Also, at the same time, I am glad to see that it appears there will be some reinforcement of topics that many of us have just recently covered in CIS151 (esp. numbering systems, and reference models).

I look forward to working and learning with you all!  :-)
