Wow.  Things got really busy and it’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog post.  I was helping with VBS last week, out of town for the weekend, then had a pretty crazy week this week.  It’s been great finally having a nice, slow Saturday to relax.  Hopefully I’ll have more time to sit down and write next week - got lots of cool things going on:

• Continuing to work on better support and management for the growing number of Macs on our network.  Open directory is up and running and integrated with Active Directory!  I’m in the process of upgrading all of our Macs to Leopard and migrating them to the Open Directory system.
• Doing some research and testing to determine whether it’s feasible to use iSCSI as the backend storage for a Final Cut Server implementation - things are looking pretty good so far, even for HD video.
• Still checking out different firewall technologies to see what makes the best sense for our environment.
• Working on building an intranet site in Sharepoint.  Still not convinced Sharepoint is the best solution, but seems to be working OK so far.
• Helping our media team install projectors and sound systems in several classrooms.
• Trying to find time to get some local church IT guys together for a WiFi discussion.
• Trying to find a good time for a vacation.  I think I’m about due to take a little break.

Stay tuned for more updates!
