The view from the car park
Today I have been out to a job, where the office is on the edge of a small village, with a great view from their car park.

Guitar George
My friend, Guitar George was showing some of his custom guitars at the Bracebridge Heath Festival today. This is a detail from his exhibition snake skin guitar – for more photos of his work, see here.
A day on the road
Sometimes we just have a really busy Monday at Octagon and today was one if those Mondays. Equipment that had been unused in offices all over the weekend, that was working fine on Friday, just refused to work on Monday. We had got four non-workers sorted by 1pm, supported the server change over in Horncastle and dealt with three other minor issues. It did mean an early start – I was on the phone before 7am, a late lunch and I drove to Lincoln, out to Sleaford and onto Holbeach.
At the end of the day all the clients were happy and back in business.
The photo is a close up of a packing crate that had crushed a network cable – that’s why it was not working!
Abstract
Having spent the day setting up a server and network indoors, I was looking to the cats to give me my photo of the day but none of them would stay still long enough!
Testing
I have had a day in the office, catching up on paperwork and calls. The most interesting thing I have done today was to help Martin with the remote testing of the new server he has built.
Above I am logged into the server using using an app on my iPad and accessing the email on my laptop.
Not the most exciting “photo of the day” but I have only been in the office and the cats have not been around!
I was let out for lunch…
By lunch time there had only only been one small, easily solved issue with the new server so I went out for lunch in the sun. A takeaway sausage in a bap with tea, then a drive round the corner to the Horncastle Community Wood.
