A New Arrival
Our Duckling has decided to join us in the big wide world, so far it’s been a lot of fun.
I’m afraid we are planning on keeping most pictures of her restirted to only Friends and Family on Flickr. If you are one of our friends or family and have an Flickr/Yahoo account please do feel free to add both of us (my wife’s account is mrs_purpleduck) as a contact and let us know off Flickr that you would like access to the other photos.
Photo Geek stuff: Photo taken with Canon 100mm Macro lens with on-axis (below lens) off camera flash.

Sea Eagle
Taken on a recent trip to Edinburgh Zoo, I hear they are getting some wolfs again. So another trip will be required very soon.

CCNA Security
For the about the last 2 years my Cisco certifications have been mostly on hold, for a number of reasons (namely a study break, doing a ITIL certification, work and then DIY). However last week I passed the Cisco IINS (640-553) exam, this means that I can add CCNA Security to my list of Cisco certifications.
This is quite a new certification, as it was only released last year. The subject matter of the course is very similar to that of ISCW and SND. This should be a great help for me as my next Cisco exam should be ISCW, as I really would like to finally add CCNP to my growing list of certifications.

DIY Camera customisation
In last weeks Amateur Photographer (14th March 2009) there was a article on DIY flash customisation. There was instructions on how to build a simple flash grid; however the really hard part was finding black straws. After a quick trip to Ikea, I had some straws which were only half black.
This is the test photo, there’s an version taken without the flash grid the jump.
