Syncing email, calendar and tasks over a laptop, desktop and iPhone

10. December 2009

In the past, I would often say to my wife, “if it’s not in Outlook, it isn’t going to happen”. Increasingly it’s “if it’s not on my iPhone, it’s not going to happen”. The fact is that I can’t actually remember all the things that I need to do each day, I need reminding!

I spend perhaps 8 hours a day at my work PC, maybe 2 hours a day on my home laptop and my iPhone is with me pretty much 24/7 – all of which are both data sources, and data endpoints. They all remind me to do things. To add a bit more complication to the mix, some things are personal, some things are work related.

So, to summarise, I want email, calendaring and to-do/tasks on my desktop, laptop and iPhone, and I want to be able to add/edit/delete for any of them.

Cisco Qualified!

7. December 2009

As is normally the case when I’m studying, I haven’t had time to post much on here lately. I’ve been studying to pass the ICND1 exam (snappily titled “Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1”)

I’m really pleased to say that neglecting this site paid off, or rather the study did – I passed with a score of 930! It was a LOT harder than I had expected, I thought I’d walk out after 20m! It does now mean that I am CCENT. I’ll be taking the ICND2 exam early in the new year which will move me up to CCNA.

Also in the exams category, I’m taking a beta exam “PRO: Design & Deploy Messaging Solutions with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010”. Another snappy title and another bundle of fun!
