Passed CCNP ROUTE

Yay, another exam another day.

See my post here.

Such an adrenaline rush it was, I was really pumped this morning, what with the cold and the caffine and then the adrenaline rush of sitting the exam. I guess all of that is good for blood flow to the brain, just have to deal with the come down on the other side. At least I have something took look forward to when I get home! 

My Phones gone bung

Yep, my beloved iPhone has lost it's most useful function, the home key. Whilst everything else works the face that a) only one thing runs at a time, b) the method of switching between them is borked, means that the functionaility of my phone is vastly reduced!

The only way I can switch between apps is to reboot. I did manage to find an install link via a website which took me through the app install. But that only gets me from the browser back.

Guess who'll be getting an iPhone4 quicksmart!

Don't get technical

My three year old found a DVD of Up in the computer today. Instantly he wanted to watch it on the TV, that's ok, it's watchable. The thing is, the DVD was from the Blu-Ray version which included a copy on DVD. I found myself trying to convince him that we should use the other disc (i.e. the Blu-Ray version) but was having trouble translating my purely technical argument into 3-year-old style logic.

Turns out it doesn't translate well and in the end I relented.

It made me think about his descision making process. He wanted to play the DVD because it had a different picture on it than the 'other' disc. Even once it was in the machine, he was excited because the menu was different, thus new.

Whilst it may be said that 3 year olds are easily influenced they can also be finicky.

This whole story would be a lesson in how not to negotiate with your three year old, or when to know you're fighting a lost cause, if it were not for the fact that the DVD stopped working part way through and we had to revert to the 'other' disc.

It wasn't me, I swear!
