2007 Diary - week 15

The second 4 day week in a row. Really hard to get back to work after 4 days off.
But once at work then the holiday seems ages ago, even after a couple of hours! How often do you find hardware failures after a holiday? We had a Network switch failing on a remote site so had to despatch an engineer and replacement. All worked out well with minor outage for some people. Diagnostic software now tells us what is happening or about to happen so often you can preempt the problem before it occurs.
Sat in on a post project review meeting which was very good. Even though the project was successful there were some lessons to be learnt and hopefully these will be fed into future projects. It is easy to forget post project reviews but these are really useful not just for lessons learnt but also to confirm delivery of the benefits.
