The iPad is my mobile workstation

So the iPad has become my mobile workstation complete with Apple wireless keyboard (a must have I think). I’m reading my Exchange books in Goodreader, I’m connected to friends through my IMO.im chat client, I have email at the ready, my Atomic Web browser for full multi-tabbed browsing, my games for break time and Notebooks for iPad for copying down important snippets. I tell you what the iPad is pretty damn impressive. Are we really going to stick with the idea that this isn’t a desktop replacement? Anyway, having the iPad definitely makes using the couch as an office a lot easier.

Working on my golf game

On the iPad that is. I finished the first book on Exchange 2010 so I’m taking a break to play “Let’s Golf” on the iPad. I completed the Scotland course with a pretty respectable score. I will in no way admit that I may have restarted a few of those holes, once, maybe twice before I was satisfied with the lie. Excellent game though, if you don’t have a copy I would suggest grabbing the iPad version. Bobblehead golf is all the rage!

Exchange 2010, you confuse me

So I’ve been trying to learn Exchange 2010 for the new job, which has been going well, but I have to say, Exchange 2010, you confuse me. I understand the mailbox server, the hub transport server, the client access server as well as the DAG and recovery. But the thing that puzzles me is why do all these things have to have new names? All this existed with 2003 with the bridgehead servers, MTA and all that. Why come up with all these crazy new names instead of just using the old ones and saying look you, 2010 bridgehead means this. I guess that would be too simple and no one would need to write new books, update their courseware and consultants couldn’t charge people outrageous if money if the customer knew what they were talking about. I hate it when a relatively simple idea is made complex through the liberal use of acronyms.
