As I've mentioned, we passed a bond. Yay. Sort of. More work. More toys. Gotta take the good with the bad. And in bonds, you must get your money off the table before others spend it for you. And then say you spent it. (Like Technology repaved a parking lot with Technology Bond Funds - true story).
As part of this, to acquire said toys, we have to produce an RFP. Starting these things are a chore. Since we'll be applying for eRate, I have to hit some deadlines. First one is in september. Ouch. Time to get started - NOW. I'll do my RFP tips in another message. I'm probably not the greatest, but maybe it'll help someone get started. I got the outline for 1 done. 2 more to go.
Did a psuedo site survey for APs needed at a campus. Pro-tip, in the summer in warm states where they turn off non-essential AC, always do these morning. Early if possible.
Also sat through another KACE educational 2 hours. I wish I had the time to play with the image and application deployment portion of that toy. I got the service desk setup.
Got our Yousend-it account enabled. We have a 10M email restriction. We send stuff over 10M out on occassions. This usually happens the day of the board meeting (board agenda, slides, etc). At 4:30PM when I want to go home. 3 times in one year, means there is a solution required. Now we get to train the people likely to need the solution. Hopefully that'll fix one source of panic. (Anyone saying they'll dream up other, I know you are right...let me bask in my brilliance for a moment. Ok, its done. Carry-on.).
