I’ve been working with Siemens for 3 days so far with the National Assembly for Wales on a rollout of Citrix-based clients machines, running on a mixture of thin- and rich-clients and laptops.

So far we’ve just been floorwalking, which is basically walking around and helping people if they have problems. Not many people had problems. It has been very boring.

Today we had a meeting to find out the schedule for the next three weeks (I have another 4 to run on the contract after this week) and let’s just say ‘It’s gonna be busy’.

From next week I believe, we’ll all be meeting in Cardiff at 07.30 in order to do what we all need to do. I already get up at 06.30 to be in just before 08.00 so that one’s gonna require an earlier start. Next week is deliveries of kit around Wales, but I’ll be remaining fairly local.

The next two weeks (starting Sunday April 13th and working non-stop through until the following Friday (25th)) I’ll be going from Cardiff to Llandridod Wells, via such wonderful places as Tremorfa, Nantgarw and Pontypool, and ending up back at Cardiff.

It’s gonna be busy, but it’s a great way to really earn the money, so I’m looking forward to it. I just wish the starts weren’t quite so early … anybody know of a decent place to get breakfast in Cardiff near Cathays?

On another note, I connected the RSS Feed of this blog up to Facebook yesterday, and got a bunch of responses to the ‘Reading’ entry. Of course, the idea of these things is to occasionally promote discussion, it was just a bit annoying that it was all through another site

So I removed the RSS link, and we’ll see where that goes.

Talking of Facebook, it seems to be terminally broken at the moment, I can’t get it to load at all. I’m wondering if somebody’s just launched a massive Denial of Service attack against them …
