On Monday I plan on ordering my equipment to test out my area.  My plan is to establish a 5GHz backhaul link from my house to the water tower in town to feed off the T1 that I will have at my house or Basestation.  The link will be 3.787 miles which should so VERY good bandwidth rates.  Once the PtP link is setup I will be using 2.4GHz equipment for the PtMP links.  I’ll update on how it all works in a couple weeks hopefully.  Wish me luck!

Well so much for going to the beach this weekend.. I have been working like crazy since wednesday trying to get caught up on my job.  Things are going smoothly but it’s been insanely hot and being in the attic running cables isn’t exactly a great place to spend 95 degree days..  but i can’t complain im getting it done.. slowly but surely..

In other news once I get all the wiring and everything done i will be able to focus on some software projects to make my life easier as a network admin..  i am planning on doing a complete restructure of group policy and implementing a WDS server so that i can push out Windows OS installs to bare clients or messed up client workstations and then have GP install the needed software when the user first logs in.. we’ll see how all of that goes.. my goal is to have the bare minimal set of solutions in place by the end of September.. the networking/wiring/etc should be done by the first of august and then i’ll start on the software/management side of things.

Well.. lots of things have changed recently.. I have been working since May as a Technology Consultant for the school I used to work for..  This week I decided to stay on for the next year as the new Technology Coordinator.. When I was first offered the position I was against it but then a few other things fell into place and it is the best decision for me.  I doubt that I’ll ever go back to school full time, however I do plan on completing a degree at some point.

On to more important things..  after three years of my minitruck sitting at the shop out in the yard I am finally starting to work on it again.. I plan on starting in a few weeks..  So watch out for the pictures of the re-working of the suspension as well as the bodydrop, etc.

Next weekend I’m headed to Biloxi for Scrapin` the Coast so im looking forward to a good time on the beach and i’ll prolly have some pictures from there as well.
