I was at a new London client today, whilst Martin and Connor covered Lincolnshire.
Next week Martin is going down to set up an Octagon Technology managed, automated, secure offsite backup – just to be on the safe side we will replace their old backup with our trusted and tested UK based solution.

I have been out on several support calls today – one of which was a particularly taxing network issue. This shot is part way through finding the problem.

We were let down by one of the software suppliers last weekend, when Octagon went to replace a client’s ageing server – they were surprised by how slow it was, forgetting that we were replacing it because it was too slow for their software!
Fortunately the plan Martin and I had drawn up allowed for plenty of points along the project for us to stop and reset the network back to it’s original state so allowing the client’s business to still operate. Then all we had to do on Monday was reschedule for this weekend.
I am now sitting here at 1am doing the data copy!
The rest of the team will be joining me at 8am.

With Martin on leave today I had to cover some of the support jobs. It being Friday and the sun was shining, it was time to get the Mazda MX-5 out. Fortunately we had a call out to a client out in the country down some winding roads.
Today I have been out helping clients, up around the Bailgate in Lincoln and have passed several Barons. I thought this was the most unusual – a Steampunk Baron.
