Walking
Having completed the office move as far as possible, there was an opportunity for a walk.
The Waddington Air Display was on.

Octagon Technology
Another “tunnel” photograph
This is the new building, in Horncastle, where Octagon Technology has been working all week installing the network infrastructure, before the client moves in.

Today’s Photo
Today’s photo is actually a photo of someone else’s photo!
I have been on a site visit today with one of the server engineers Octagon uses and during the coffee break he showed me some photos from his recent holiday to Las Vegas.
I could not resist sharing this.
I used Camera+ to get the image off his monitor – which gave a dark, high contrast result and then I used the Clarify function in Camera+ the give a useable image. I often use this process, when at work, when recording site data – it gives a result for screen photos.
Working all this weekend
Octagon Technology is replacing a server this weekend – so no backpacking or walking photos today.
As the room where I have been working in since 7.30am has no windows I cannot even photograph the street outside!

Rand Farm Park
We are working at Rand Farm Park today installing a new webcam in the main animal barn.
For more on this story see the post on the Octagon Technology blog here.
Server Repairs
Today I was working in a cupboard, (that is where the client keeps their server), repairing a disk array. Normally this is a couple of hours work, if you include the necessary backups, of course when you are working in a cupboard things never work out well. We eventually came up with a solution but it took nearly all day. So I have used my camera dozens of times today but for photographing screen shots, backs of servers, fronts of server, serial numbers, SATA drives etc etc.
