After a horrible morning of not sleeping, then finally getting to sleep just *after* I turned my alarm off, then missing the train and then finally getting stuck in the queue from hell in the shop round the corner from work I finally got a chance to catch up on yesterdays XKCD comic, if your not already a fan give it a read and you soon will be. Anyway, since sharing is caring, heres yesterdays strip:

Well, its been a few months since my old blog died when I cancelled the hosting and since I had to renew my domain this month I decided to go crazy and setup some new hosting and give this blogging thing another go.

Since I last posted anything i’ve started a new job, im now the systems administrator for www.interregs.com and www.lsi.edu. I get to play around with and manage all their servers (currently just 2 racks full but a third may arrive later this year when we deploy Exchange 2010 and WSS2010). All this is a great change of pace and a whole lot more fun than my previous job at www.cobweb.com, which, while teaching me a lot was a little too busy for my liking (try talking on the phone for 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week!). While I do sometimes miss the chaos and banter of a busy office its certainly a lot nicer being my own master and I can finally start on my career path to becoming a BOFH

So, as I trundle through the next few months/years(!?!), I’l be using this blog to post anything I find thats useful while I rollout our Windows 7 deployment, new Exchange 2010 server and then eventually a Sharepoint 2010 server aswell.
