_Bat_ Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I can just see it now ... a hundred assorted geeks milling around an office, all with an opinion about the best setup and people trying to out geek one another! Take the IT Crowd and multiply by 30! Yes, the office setup for what is apparently going to be used by just one man most of the time* requires a least 8 rack mounted servers and multiple large cisco switches *this is just an assumption
john Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Now if you need someone to help set up the network in the new Office - let me know So is that HP Proliants sat on to of wall cabinets held up with chewing gum and cabling (I know you didn't do it but it just sticks in my mind so sorry to seem to tag that with you!) Congratulations - and if you ever get to the point where you are big enough to want to open some satellite offices to handle things - I'm here!! Sounds like we have the new BETT Queen and Southern Conference Queen

Sounds like we have the new BETT Queen and Southern Conference Queen She'll need to bring her pom-poms! I'm always happy to help out down-South too if needed.... not necessarily with the pom-poms tho'!
witch Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Sounds like we have the new BETT Queen and Southern Conference Queen Oh yeah - very good at organising things, I am (not so good at IT, but that's another story....!) Very good at grammar and spellchecking if any official documentation needs looking at. As for my pom-poms - I ALWAYS have my pom-poms :cheer2:
seanlaz Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Best of luck! I think it's a great achievement that Edugeek has got to this stage and long may it continue.

Gatt Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 First task before anything else.. SORT OUT THE EDUGEEK MUGS!!
webman Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 SORT OUT THE EDUGEEK MUGS!! That's no way to talk about the admins & mods 1
Dos_Box Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 First task before anything else.. SORT OUT THE EDUGEEK MUGS!! They are on their way I assure you.
K.C.Leblanc Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 They are on their way I assure you. How about matching Edugeek gaggia machines?
Gatt Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Excellent All I have to do then is keep it away from my 2 year old!! He has already taken an interest in my Baseball Cap!
RabbieBurns Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Good luck. Just one point though. If you are creating a limited company as I read in another thread elsewhere, surely you'll have to publish your accounts, so they will be available for anyone to have a look at? Im not in the slight bit interested personally to be honest.

Im not in the slight bit interested personally to be honest. Published accounts are not what people think and give only a limited overview of the ins and outs. You basically just get to see how we received, how much we spent (as single sums, not broken down) and the profit. That's about it really. Anyway, it is something for the accountant to deal with.

They cost money to obtain, too, which usually puts of the casual nosey parker. On another note, are shares of said ltd to be available to members? (I realise you may not even have thought beyond next week yet, but I'm still going to ask )
Dos_Box Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 Shares I won't go into details just yet, but for those who don't know how these things work, when you set up a limited company you issue yourself shares. To begin with I would be the only share holder. When Shaun is ready to come on board he too will get a share. We will pay ourselves a minimum wage level, and the rest of our 'wage' will be made up of share dividends. If we can't make it work them we don't get paid basically. The problem you have with shares is that the minute you issue them you become answerable to the shareholders, and if s group of them want to get stupid then it causes all kinds of problems.

powdarrmonkey Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 the minute you issue them you become answerable to the shareholders If you're going to pay yourself via dividends, though, I agree they'll have to be private shares. Onwards PLC!
contink Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 All sounds good... On the subject of accounts I can highly recommend kashflow.co.uk Especially useful for the paypal integration and Duane (the boss) is very open to suggestions for improvement. If he asks, tell him "WebSnail" sent you... I drive him nuts with improvements
