| as the title says. ive been busy!.. really. i work for the 2nd largest insurance brokers in the world as the it manager (for ireland). in the 40 years the company has been here in ireland, weve never had an it person working for the company as a full time person.. well, until i came along. picture dumb terminals, green screens, token ring networks, as 400s, no mail, no servers, no pc's... nothing and anything they had, was ancient.
[insert me]. picture win2000 network, picture standardisation accross all desktops and platforms, picture a proper firewall with decent internet access, picture content managment, picture good servers, picture good pc's.. its a bloody picture! i could go on here, but you get the idea.
so, i've been busy, even more so recently. i just finished linking our cork office to our dublin office on a leased line using terminal services on w2k for connectivity. cool stuff. anyway, im about to link our uk offices to dublin over the internet via a nice vpn. i have it actually communicating, now to get the info to work!
i dont have much to say about quake and gaming at the moment. ive read the threads about irish quake and tbh, i really could not be arsed responding to some of the people and their comments there. all talk and no action for one part and the 2nd part is the whole dnc/nethouse thing which, imho, its old news and people keep bringing it up.
some news on the irish national team, team.ie. this looks interesting and while im usually the first to step up and help out, this time, i have to sit back and let other people do the dues. im just too busy with my work and home life. speaking of which, i feel that those two things have completely taken over things as late and i wonder.. am i getting a life? god, i don't know.
