What are you up to lately?

  • Stuart – First Week of work. Moving a hobby club’s website over to CleverHost and trying to update the look of it.
  • Derek – Finished up that server migration I mentioned previously, have a Raspberry Pi 3 that I’m toying around with, got my Bluetooth keyboard connected to, going to get the official touchscreen for it, and will eventually turn it into a multimedia centre for my Toyota Yaris. Also made a few decisions about where to take The IT Dept, and there will be an educational component to that, so I’ve been laying down ideas for which courses to develop.

Our first video looks at whether @Google should build their own phone!
