Too much Time

Well, time has definitely gotten away from me. I haven't posted anything since March, and I think it is time for me to catch everyone up on what's been going on. I have been very busy at work over the past couple of months. The biggest thing right now is the Building Renovation of the North Kent Service Center that is moving to its new location in Sparta.

Up until now things had been coasting along as the building itself was gutted and rebuilt inside. I'd been involved in the meetings and design of our IT room, but up until the past two weeks, things were pretty quiet. Over that past couple of weeks, I've had to get racks and cable management ordered along with patch cables for cabling. I've been working with the cablers at the site with the placement of our racks along with making sure all the cabling was done to our specifications. Yesterday, my co-worker and I built the server rack and placed it in the room.

The next two weeks will be busy and filled with adventure as we move close to our move in date of October 17. That is the date we bring the network up and move our server, stager, analyzer, UPSs, etc to the new site. October 20 is the date that the employees will be moving to the new site. I will be among those moving to the Sparta location from Grand Rapids. I will be almost 20 miles closer to home which means less time on the road and using less gas in the process.

Well, I will try to keep things more up-to-date from this point forward. Now that summer is overwith and the cooler weather is setting in, that should be easier.
