Cisco ICOMM v8 Day 1

25 Mar 2014

We’re thinking of moving to Cisco phones at work. Now, I know a bit about phones, but what I know is about 2-3 years out of date and very specific to one company. I thought it would be wise to go and get my CCNA Voice done and then at least I should have an understanding of how it all should be setup in the ideal world. A few weeks back I booked... Read more

A Sunny Weekend!

10 Mar 2014

I could totally take more weekends like this! The weather was amazing this weekend so @tigziefc and I went for a bike ride around Upnor. The first proper time we have been back since we were in our teens! We were planning to go to Bedgebury Pinetum but since it’s a long way away and it’s the first time I’ve had my bike out this year, we thought... Read more

Beginning Diving

24 Feb 2014

I finally got to go diving! What’s more my brother wanted to come along and do it with me too.. At the pool we met with Janine and Tony from Southern Scuba Ltd who were very friendly and got us setup with all of our equipment and explained how it works. When we got in the pool we did our first three skills. 1. clearing our mouth of water and b... Read more

Commuting.

09 Jan 2014

My daily commute is long. It’s also very expensive. I’m not sure which should be more important to me, time or money. I currently get the train. I leave home at 07:15 and take the 07:41 Southeastern High Speed service from Strood to St Pancras International arriving 08:16, I then walk to the Metropolitan line and usually arrive at Baker Street...

Chichen Itza, Mexico

22 Dec 2013

Went to visit one of the wonders of the modern world today. Been looking forward to this for a while, and it was basically one of the selling points of this holiday, since I can only sit in the sun for so long. The trip to Chichen Itza involved a 3 hour long coach drive, it probably would have only taken one hour is we hadn’t stopped so many tim... Read more

Hello from Mexico

20 Dec 2013

While ‘testing’ out the new waterproof camera I seem to have ruined all the good pictures with a drop of water that remained on the lens. Whoops! Never mind, here is one of us on Thomson’s shiny new 787 Dreamliner. There are many stories to be told of the plane and the trip, although unfortunately since I have the worst wifi connection in the en... Read more

Bucharest, Romania

01 Dec 2013

This week I got the chance to travel to Bucharest, Romania to visit our Global Service Desk. We had a an issue accessing a firewall remotely and it was causing some unexpected routing behaviour so on the advice of TAC it needed to be rebuilt. Here is me standing in front of the enormous Palace of the Parliament, this building is very impressive.... Read more

Moscow, Russian Federation

24 Oct 2013

Here I am in Moscow’s Red Square in front of St Basil’s Cathedral. The square was surprisingly empty but it was very cold! I managed to visit again in the day time and it was much busier. Moscow was definitely the most interesting place I’ve been so far, I look forward to going back with the confidence that I survived my first trip! Read more
