Both CommVault Specialist tracks completed

michaelf — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 09:37:08 +0000

Completed both CommVault Specialist tracks yesterday. Disaster Recovery and Storage. I am sure I still have plenty to learn, so will continue to develop my knowledge and skills.

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring

michaelf — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:34:27 +0000

Passed the 70-642 exam today. It’s hoped that I can complete another one by the end of August. Aiming to undertake the 70-646 probably next, then coming back to complete 70-640 to finish off the MCITP: Server Admin certification track.

Nearly completed 70-620 Microsoft Press Book

michaelf — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 09:12:57 +0000

After several weeks of reading, I have just about completed the book. Although I have already started doing prac tests and revision. In fact I’ve also already booked the exam. As I am confident enough to pass it. Although I just need to put in a bit more time doing some simulation review.

Like all humans, I too am scared of failure. But if I don’t attempt the exam, I may just put it off and off. So while they have that promotion on currently with a 2nd shot free, I might as well try.

Exam booked for 19th April. So ready or not, it will be an attempt. I am tempted to purchase a 70-622 book and do it next, then go do my 70-680 Windows 7 config as planned. Not sure yet. Will do the exam and then decide next action. Enjoyed reading the book though, and honestly learnt things about Windows Vista I probably never really understood. So win nonetheless I think.

Traxxas Revo 2.5R bashing

Managed to make some time to get the Traxxas Revo 2.5R out today. Thanks to my wife, she managed to capture the following clips for me to upload. The car was very dirty at the end of it. I reckon a few weeks of this and then it will be time for a rebuild.

iPhone 3GS

michaelf — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 09:04:23 +0000

Picked up an iPhone 3GS to replace that of my iPhone 3G that I already have had for sometime. The existing phone was purchased outright and was locked with Telstra. It was on a Telstra cap, and the amount it cost me was certainly not competitive.

I managed to get a new phone on a plan that includes more for less then I was paying with Telstra using my own phone. Go figure.

iPhone 3GS seems a bit different so far, in fact better then previous model. Had considered to get something else, but kept coming back to the iPod which can be used for audio/video playback. Both handy features for a phone device all in one unit.

Ran the Traxxas Rustler VXL yesterday and managed to have a wall jump in front of me. The damage this time was a shock coming apart. Good news is it wasn’t damaged to the point I couldn’t fix it. Pulled … Continue reading →

Transition to WordPress MU

michaelf — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:38:28 +0000

Transition to WordPress MU seems to have gone fairly well. The product seems to perform exactly like the normal WordPress. Although one exception would appear that embedded media doesn’t work unless you install a plugin. I’ve since done that and it seems to now work as expected.

With that said, I think my blog will live in the new location. As I can now manage WordPress MU and it’s updated for all associated blogs hosted off the users.heimic.net vhost.
