2 March (Been a while)

Woah!

Ive been so lazy, I havent written here in nearly a month… Well, im very sorry about that, but ive been SUPER busy lately, whats new that i can share…

FIRST AND FOREMOST

I passed my 70-271 exam with a pass score of 883 (only 700 was required) then the cherry on top is that I PASSED MY 2nd EXAM TOO!

Thats right alots happened hey, I passed 70-272 with a pass score of 884 (again only 700 was required)

Which means I am now a Fully Certified (MCDST) Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Techician, basically if you have any problems on you pc, like your monitor wont go on, or you cant send emails in outlook, even if your desktop looks funny, or you cant access shared network files, Im the man for the Job.

Now that Im done with that, i’ve got a hunger for more, and i’ve decided to jump right in the deep end and go for my MCSE, which consists of 7 MUCH more complicated exams, so im really going to struggle there, but will do my best.

Otherwise i’m still alive, healthy and kicking, and will be adding some really funny cat pictures onto the site which im sure everyone will find VERY amusing.

Thanks for your continued support and bye for now!

11 Feb (rainy monday)

So yet another week has started.

I must say I had an extremely busy weekend, with my house warming party on Friday, it was crazy, ofcourse we drank too much as usual, but it was a great evening overrall.

Satruday was pretty much the same thing, woke up late, did a few things in the afternoon and then drank too much on saturday night again, although i must admit I did take it easy.

Sunday was when the rain started, and we actually had soccer, it might have been raining, but in my opinion it was the hottest day so far this summer, we all were extremely dehidrated after soccer, and i went for a swim too cool down…

The rest of the day we pretty much just rested and took it easy.

Well next monday I might not be able to write in my blog as I am writing my first exam on monday, I am doing my 70-271, which is the first exam of 2 for your MCDST qualification.

I must say I am EXTREMELY nervous as i havent written exams in YEARS! But luckily i have 2 shots, so if i fail the first time (touch wood) i get a free 2nd chance to write my exam!

Its a special offer that microsoft is offering.

Anyhow, will write more on friday so wish me luck for next monday!

AAAARGH!

4 Feb (monday blues)

So yet another weekend past and its back to the grindstone.

 Well, lets just say i had a hectic weekend… Friday was the big move, we picked up the trailor and my friend and I begun moving, it ended up contunuing until around 3am, thats when we finished up and were settled, and every last bit of pain was totally worth it, we are now settle in and the house is GREAT.

I was hoping the rest of the weekend would be relaxing because i was extremely tired, obviously that was not the case, on friday we spent most of the day indoors, watching movies, being lazy etc, until around 10pm when lyndles sister Rene and her boyfriend Tony decided to go out, it being his birthday the next day.

I really was not on the mood as i was practically asleep alreeady, but of course i cant let them down so i got up, showered and got ready, we all ended up going to Durban Road in Bellville, we made a stop in at KuDeTa for about 3 hours, it was great, thereafter we made our way to Vacca Matta until around 4am and then went home..

 It was a great evening, the next morning i had my usual 12am sunday football get together with my friends…. well, i woke up at 12am, and was DEAD tired, there was NO way in hell i was going to play soccer today, so instead i lazed around the whole day, watching movies and playing playstation (my idea of HEAVEN!!!!)

 Anyhow, i very productive and unproductive weekend depending on which way you look at it… either way, it was a great weekend.

 See ya’ll on the flip side, PS

Dont forget to email webmaster@bryanbotha.com

The Main Disadvantage of the P4350 is obviosuly the fact that it doeesnt support 3g.

Other than that there are no disdvantages i can think of, the amount a range of applications there are available for this phone make it 2nd to none!

I even have GPS sofwtare installed, i can chat to my msn contacts and view my gmail e-mails with minimal fuss! What i am also about to share with you might be astonishing, i work for a Support Company and i work with Remote desktop connections most of the day. Well browsing the net the other day i found that IT IS POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD RDP SOFTWARE FOR THE P4350.

Now ask yourself this question, if you can rdp on a mobile phone, what cant you do?

Currently i have not come across anything i cant do!

If i do have any complaints please be sure that i will advise you!

Thanks very much for your time and i hope you enjoyed my review?

Regards

Bryan

JOKE: How to get things done in Africa!

 HOW TO GET HOT WATER!

Manica Post!

Ha ha ha, pretty funny!

Joke: PAY YOUR RENT

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the afternoon with her for R500. They did their thing, and, before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but he would have his secretary write a cheque and mail it to her, calling the payment ” RENT FOR APARTMENT.”

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing that the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a cheque for R250 and enclose the following typed note:

“Dear Madam:
Enclosed find a cheque for R250 for rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was under the impression that:

1 - it had never been occupied;
2 - there was plenty of heat; and
3 - it was small enough to make me feel cosy and at home.

However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there wasn’t any heat, and that it was entirely too large.”

Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for R250 with the following note:

“Dear Sir:
First, I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on.

Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don’t have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the management.

Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady.
