Episode 2

The builders came, and it looks like they will finish the workroom in the next week or so, finally. Wow, actual workspace!

Met with The Boss today to discuss the vision for how we use computers. Unfortunately it was less of a vision and more of an eMigrane. Sought some advice on how we move forward with this from above.

Fought with a laptop to get it to reinstall Office 2003. It complained it wasn't installed for the current user. Upgraded to Office 2007 which then gave out of memory errors. It's officially screwed up. User will not be happy.

Season II

So lots has changed since over a year ago, which really is obvious, apart from one thing: the workroom still resembles and air raid shelter. IT repair facilities minus any storage, or data points. Great. News is that this will be finished on Thursday. Although it was meant to be finished in 2009 so we shall see.

Current concerns are that we have a website and other web space that is working but partially butchered to make it work, meaning upgrading it is going to be a bitch. I also want to virtualize our CMS so that we can work on that too, making it better for remote access users. This needs peace and quiet, and time, and planning.

A vision meeting is planned for Wednesday where we will all get together with management and have a session to work out what we are going to do in the next 12 months. It really is worrying that our management does not lead us, or innovate in any way.

Backup needs an overhaul to make sure its working properly. New Wiki needs amending and adding to.
