Apple Brining Home Jobs
If you're a fan of apple or it's products you may be curious about Tim Cook. Here is a link to a great interview with Apple's CEO Tim Cook. It's entertaining to watch Tim speak in the specific generalities that is apple, but he did drop some very interesting tidbits.
Google sync is as robust as any enterprise solution, and I discovered one more feature that makes it even more impressive. Many of us have multiple family members that share Google calendars, but until now I didn't know how to sync those calendars to my iPhone and iPad. Now I do!!!
To select which calendars to sync to your Apple device, follow these steps:
To select which calendars to sync to your Apple device, follow these steps:
- Open the Safari browser on your device, it has to be your apple device, and go to http://m.google.com/sync
- Sign in with your account and select your device from the list of devices you’ve set up for Google Sync.
- Once you select your device you can choose from the calendars you have already set up in your Google calendar to sync.
- You’ll need to do this setup on each IOS devices that uses Google Sync, to show multiple calendars.

For everyone who has worked on a Cisco ACE you have experienced the pains of troubleshooting, especially in a long complicated config. Often you are reverse engineering from the policy-map multi-match to the r servers and probes to find all the pieces that make up the service. We have asked people within Cisco is there a command that will show everything related to a policy-map multi-match class and the answer has always been no, until recently. A colleague of mine was working with a Cisco TAC engineer via a webex and came across a most useful undocumented command. Here is what the TAC engineer entered:
show run filter policy-map multi-match class name
ex. show run filter L4_SLB_CLASS
This returned most of the associated parts of the service i.e. class-map, load-balance, server-farm, real server etc. Sounds like a dream right? Here is the kicker, I am not sure what platforms are supported. I know it worked on a 4710 appliance running A3 code, but I have attempted it on an ACE 20 module running A2 code and it didn't work. So if anyone has any info about this command send me an email and if I find any more documentation I will link it to this post.
I have had the iPhone a week now and I am still amazed by the LTE speeds. When you have full signal, this phone is blazing fast. I am a network geek and I work with a bunch network guys and our jaws hit the floor when I ran my first speedtest.
To be far we did not test it against a Verizon LTE phone, but we did test them against AT&T 4G HSPA+ and it crushed their 2Mbps down and 800k up. So far this is the best iPhone I have owned.
Final note on battery life. I have had it a week and I have noticed that compared to my iPhone 4 the battery does not last quit as long. At least that's my perception. When the phone gets low 8 or 9 percent the iPhone 4 would live on for hours. The iPhone 5 doesn't quit have the same will for life and just keeps chugging away on that battery. To be far though I am running LTE, location, wifi, and I sill get a full day+ out of it. Really it barley noticeable to me but i did notice it.
