Seminar, meetings and IT Support
Today’s photo is from the seminar I went to this morning – Kamila needed something for the Octagon Twitter!
It was an excellent presentation by both companies.

River Slea at Sleaford
I was working in Sleaford today – it seemed an obvious follow up shot to yesterday’s.

It was an early start this morning to be with a client, as they opened their office, to solve a network issue that stopped them working at the end of the business day yesterday.

Octagon Technology IT Support – Today’s photo
I had to pack up early yesterday and head back to Lincoln to help with an IT support issue.
As part of that process Martin and I found a list of “crowbar passwords” in a malware directory installed on the machine – I thought these would be good to include in a presentation I am going to make tomorrow night.

Remote Working – My office today…
I have come away this weekend as Octagon has a number of weekend projects scheduled over the coming weeks; but I also have some presentations to work on. So for today this is my office.
Remote Working
Not only does remote working mean that our team can work from home, or client sites, or from the local wifi cafe. But especially for Diana and myself we can access our systems and information whilst we are away on holiday.
On my agenda today:
- Email and team scheduling using our secure hosted exchange
- Collecting photos and other information for the presentations
- Preparing the slides on my iPad using Microsoft PowerPoint connected to our OneDrive whilst writing my speaking notes using OneNote on my iPod
- Phone meetings with both Kamila and Martin
- A walk along the river into St Neots to find a good tea shop
Whilst remote working to keep everything charged I have a USB charge plug in my MX-5 that supplies both 1A, for my phone and iPod and 2.1A for my iPad.
When the phone is in this bracket it is easy to use it as a personal hotspot so my wifi enabled devices can get on the Internet, this saves multiple SIM card costs.
Add to these my collection of tech gadgets, cables, brackets and chargers, a multi-coloured pen and a hard cover A5 notebook and I have everything with me to work away from home.
