That’s me. I am now looking after a nice little network and getting my head around a couple of new servers and some solutions that I haven’t worked with before. As the position is new there is not a lot of pressure, just a big backlog to work through. They have even asked me to fly down to one of our other offices to “advise” on their new network and say “Hi” to the folks. I will be doing this exactly 1 week after I started. How good is that?
The people I am working with are all very nice and I have to say that I am really enjoying it. There is a good atmosphere in the office. I am a little bamboozled by how many tasks I have on my “to do” list but as most are at the stage of “do when I get to it” its great, very little pressure.
I know that I am writing this after only my second day and therefore I’m still in the honeymoon period, but hey let me enjoy it 
Oh and the outsourced IT guy that looked after the servers that was in today to do a brain dump to me was impressed that I was running the excellent Dapper Drake (Ubuntu/Gnome/Debian/Linux) on my recycled (Thanks Sharon) laptop at home. So my little geeky side even got a smile today.
here in sunny Dublin. It really has been brilliant with the city putting on its best summer face and Gwen and I have made the best of it. This weekend we were treated to a load of free wine tasters and nibbles at our local sopping centre (Europe’s biggest). I think you’ll agree the place was looking well.
There were loads of stalls and even one selling beer, so we were happy as you can see. We happily just enjoyed the nice relaxed atmosphere, the sun and the music. This city really is a great place when it pulls out all the stops.
