Today the last two members of the Octagon team are going on the first aid course with Nick from Hargreaves First Aid Training, at Lincoln City Football Club.
I gave Jeremy a lift in, but on the way through Harmston he had me pull over so he could go to a Pokemon Go stop – it did give me an opportunity for a “photo of the day”.

I was packing this morning, early, to go camping when Martin called to report an issue with a client’s email server. We knew there were problems before the client did!
The MX-5 had to go back in the garage.
Having our own test email accounts on the client’s server and a remote connection to our own PC on their site has at least meant I have been working from home.

It has been a networking day. First at the Business Network Lincoln lunch and then Positive Networking in Peterborough this evening.
This is The 1960s Baron, from last year’s celebration of the Magna Carta, which is now located in the reception of the Lincoln Hotel where we had our lunch time meeting. The lunch they served us, as every was excellent – the meeting was excellent as well!
This evening’s meeting was a new format, that Mike was trying out and it was very good. The photo is of Paul Wilson’s contribution. For those of you that know him, you will recognise his style.

The presentation tonight at Imps Premier Plus seems to have been well received – Martin gave me a lot of support from the audience.
The best photo I got this evening was of the buffet – although I saw Martin taking photos during my presentation so I expect to see those on the Octagon blog.

Today half of Octagon Technology are working from a box at Lincoln City Football Club.
Whilst we were there the ground staff were installing the new goalposts.

I have a security job today, that can only be done when no one is onsite – so it means an early morning start in Lincoln. Luckily it was a beautiful fresh morning following yesterday’s persistent heavy rain.
And if you have to go to work on a sunny Saturday then take the MX-5.

I am going to be giving a presentation next month at the Imps Premier Plus business Club about Ramsomware and other email threats. Today whilst Kamila and I were working on the slides and promotional material for the event, she received this email – a perfect example of what I will be talking about.
This email had got through our online spam/virus filtering systems and poses a significant risk to our business if it was opened. At Octagon we run staff awareness and training sessions on “good email practice” so everyone knows how to deal with unsolicited email threats and help many clients with similar training sessions.
