Day Two Hundred 'n' Forty Two


Half an IT room is semi updated - screens are in as are new keys and mice. Some screens still have their packing on as The New Guy didn't seem to get the "unpack everything" command.

Gigabit switches are installed in the other IT room ready for Power Macs tomorrow. iMacs from here are in stores. Screens are being unpacked by The New Guy.

New Cat 5e cable feeds from our comms room in to our new server room went in today. They need trunking in, and putting through the wall, but it's installed in the main cabinet.

Citrix people seem to be getting on ok, although they found that one of our servers ISN'T 2008 compatible even though they said it was. They have suggested running this machine as a VM on itself, or on one of the new Citrix App servers. Not ideal but it will work.

Took delivery of a new BTO XServe server too. It's staying sealed until we have some space, and a working network! The one it's replacing could host our video streaming but we shall have to see.

The Other Tech worked on installing wireless on the other site for the temporary classrooms. It should broadcast to most of the city!
