We’re testing a DSL ordering system at the moment by trying to order a new DSL circuit into our London Datacenter. This involves talking to BT Openreach, albeit via our third party. This is where it gets interesting. BT Openreach, the part of BT responsible for the exchanges and the physical copper that comes to […]

It amuses me that we can deal with terrorists in London without so much as a pause. An RMT strike however brings the capital to its knees. Can we call the RMT terrorists yet?
How Malcolm can stand being an architect I do not know. Today I have been mostly trying to arrange the installation of some satellite dishes for our datacenter. Apparently, we need planning permission from the local authority…and this is what I’ve been trying to do today. How Malcolm can deal with planning and building regs […]
