Update

I have been too busy to write much for a while, but life/work continues with a lot of interesting things happening. I’m going back to Polytech to finish my CertSA qualification which involves four papers, including Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft ISA Server. We may yet get a server running the latter. Both of our existing Windows servers have had their capacity bumped up to the maximum possible by adding a 500 GB IDE drive in each case. How long this will last remains to be seen. We have a laptop lease expiring mid August, the impending holidays will cause great havoc with this unless the Ministry can be persuaded to bring forward our renewal date.
