Update

Just over half-done with my stint in India. Work/study is proceeding at a furious pace, so there's not much to report on the personal or fun level, except:

Certified Ethical Hacker... check
Certified Hacking Forensics Investigator... check
Cisco Certified Network Associate... check
CCNA Security Specialization... check
Cisco Certified Security Pro exam 642-504, Securing Netowrks with Routers and Switches... check

Just 3 more exams to go to finish my CCSP, and I'll be home on March 2nd.
