Working today – network plan but I have removed the secret information! @OctagonT
I am off to London this week, to meet with a supplier for one of our clients, so I needed to work today.
We need a network diagram for a meeting later this week, so our client can easily understand their network. The final version of this diagram includes; IP addresses, firewall specifications, security arrangements etc, things I would never share on social media. The final document is also stored in encrypted storage.

London Bridge
I am at clients in London today. Most of the day will be taken up planning a major software upgrade that we have to manage later this year. It may be that we will end up replacing the current system for something new!
Working in the roof @OctagonT
There was an internet issue at one of our clients today. I went to fix it and of course it was the wifi point in the, dusty, dirty suspended ceiling that the problem!
A “re-purposing” of some cabling and a switch and the wifi was back up and running. We will look for the break in the cable later.

Solar panels in Wales @OctagonT
I am in Wales today, visiting a software supplier for one of Octagon’s clients. I have been working over the past few months researching companies that can provide a system our client needs. Following the research, I organised a number of presentations at their office by a selection of possible candidates – and this one in Wales made the best impression.
But before the final decision is made, I have spent the day looking at the software in more detail, talking with the support and development team and working my way through a list of technical, procedural and security questions. All of this I will then report back to our client so they can make a “safe”, informed decision.
After the meetings were finished we walked out to look at their PV array.
