Why does

Inspiration always strike at 1 am? !

Hurrah

A good weekend for technology!

In preparation for some office relocation work I needed a wireless bridge, ISA Server 2006 working, a new wireless Access Point (different hardware) to work on the existing wireless setup; and OWA/OMA/ActiveSync working from the outside world to the office.

For once a set of projects (whist they had their ups and downs) all completed within the timescale I set myself.  And what's more a client problem cropped up during the work and I've been able to cal them today to fix that too.

Good result, even if it did finish at 2am this morning!!!

and whilst i'm recommending things...

Garmin SatNav. Bought a Street Pilot i3 last year. The maps have got old now (I constantly drive through a few fields it seems!).

Well register it, check for updates, and I'm getting a version 7 to 9 upgrade DVD in the post, free of charge. Now that's what I call good!

Hats off to Magilite Torches

I keep a small Maglite torch on my key ring and a couple of weeks ago it came mostly unscrewed, and finally fell apart as I was getting out of the car one evening, in the dark. So I lost the spring that holds the battery in, along with the spare bulb. %$^$£ I thought.

On the off chance I emailed via Maglite's web site, who forwarded my email to the UK distributor, who sent me a spring, gratis, in the post within a few days.

Now that's the kind of service I like!
