iOS 9 iPad mini woes

I have realised since the last iOS9 update that both mine and the wife’s iPad Mini (version 1) have both been crawling along horribly slowly and crashing out largely because of adverts on the devices when web browsing on the device.

It happens on Safari and Chrome and its made equally frustrating by the fact that Apple appear to be putting the device out to a legacy footing now, as its an older 32 bit device and apparently you can’t get adblocking software for the non-64 bit devices from my web searching relating to it, which may help the experience.

It seems a new iPad will have to be gotten for me and the wife at some point in the year when it becomes super unbearable, I am betting the next update to iOS9 here now.

Paternity Leave Ending….

Sitting here at the moment, enjoying the last few days of my paternity leave, the little ones are both keeping the wife and I busy, the eldest has decided that he won’t sleep in his room now, as his sister is in with us in her cot, so its extra fun being woken when he decides to join us through the night and she’s feeding every two hours like clockwork.

Everyone as I type this is sleeping soundly around me as I am still a light sleeper wide awake as usual.

I dread the return to work a little (though not the actual place, people or job itself) and have been contemplating going into business for myself part time on top of it offering IT support locally for the end/home user and small business and I have even been looking at Domain names and LTD company registration and everything which is involved with setting up a small business getting basically stuck with the dreaded procrastination rather than settling down and cracking on with the CCNA work, so its time to knuckle down again and get on with ICND1 booking and getting through the Odom tome that accompanies it.
