iPad Air

After having my iPad Air, also my first iPad ever,for 1 week I figured I would share my experience. Now unlike my android tablet this actually has a good battery life. By good I mean I took it off the charger Monday morning and used it as my primary computer for the entire week. I used a standard computer when efficiency was needed or working with office documents. iWork will never be a substitute for Microsoft Office. Please understand this apple and go back to making computers.

I’ve been using the following apps for the last 5 days:
•Apple Mail(exchange email set to pull messages instantly)
•Google Chrome(sync bookmarks for managed services)
•Spiceworks HD(support tickets)
•LogMeIn(remote access)
•Evernote(cloud sync notes)
•iPRTG(server stat tool)
•Fing(network utility)
•vSphere Client(admin ESXi servers)

Also tried Photo Booth to make faces at a cute girl

All things considered I’m pleased with the device. It’s come a long way and as annoying as the slogan is there is an app for everything I need.

Rope

A few months ago I was in New Orleans.  I took with me a phone, an extra shirt, 15m of rope and headphones.  I was walking around in the morning and found a guy sleeping on the ground.  He looked well kept and just partied too hard.  I gave him a bottle of water and chilled with him for a bit.  Then we started walking around and he spotted some friends that were towing a car with jumper cables but the end had broke so they were tying it again.  I offered my rope to help and the guys looked confused and I explained that it’s always useful to have it.  So they towed the car home.  I hung out and had some beers and we swapped stories then went on a date with one of their friends.

So that’s why you always have rope.

Music on hold stops. Asked for my case number. I then hear people arguing in Hindi and a door opers ‘Mr Patel Mr Patel we need your help!“ Something yelled and a slam. "Hello sir this is Edward Irudayaraj with Dell Sonicwall Tier 3 support, how may I assist you today?”
