Easter projects

[southhamster]

What projects are you hoping to carry out over the Easter holidays?

 

I'll start.

2 new rack cabinets and network cabling - good chance to get the SDS drill out!

Installers are replacing antique phone system with ISDN and CCTV from analogue to IP at last. The kit will now be nice and secure with UPS backup too.

Also trying to improve our hall AV and wrangling the horrible Sophos safeguard encryption software.

Merging another school into the trust network. Something I have done many times over now!

Goodness, loads:

Wireless bridge to a new building (no change of fibre)

New CCTV cameras in a couple of locations

Database upgrade for in house homework solution

New server commissioned for CCTV footage.

Sure there is more, but that's off the top of my head.

Very little this time round which makes a change, done most of it this week and now I've got 10 days off (Well apart from meeting on the 3rd for an hour)

When I get back I'll give the office a well needed spring clean and finish off some cabling

Day off

Interview candidate for Deputy NM

Watch SWGfL upgrade our connection

Install a couple of CCTV cameras

Support A Level revision classes

Might reformat my trusty work PC from Win 7 x32 to Win 10 x64

Look busy and do little

Very little this holiday.

 

I did have a full av installation in one of our rooms but got shelved due to funding complications. Was the only exciting project I had on.

 

Run cabling to an office off a classroom to move a phone

Two rooms recable av setup

Update a very out dated documentation.

Windows update servers then go pull the updates on laptops and tablets etc

Generally service all my ICT suites

Get an image built, tested and deployed in four days, assuming that the April 10th release is right?

 

Rather you than me!

 

As for me, my big project this Easter will be commissioning the new WAN links between our sites and putting in our new internet connections. We are going to have two 1gbit links to the tubes!
