Coming down the pike

It’s 2:30 and my brain is all over the place.

Some other things happening in my neck of the woods…

We are moving our phone system to a PRI next week.  We’re going to drop our copper (all except one line) and switch to a T1 to carry all of our voice lines.  This is going to allow folks that need it to have a DID (Direct Inbound Dialing) number for themselves.  People that know that number will be able to dial directly in to an extension on our phone system without going through the receptionist.   This system will also provide us with a ridiculous amount of inbound lines.  I forget exactly how many, but I know that it’s more than the 6 we have now.

I am working on a time frame to change the name of our Windows domain.  We still carry the old ’sugarcreekfmc.org’ domain name on our network, and I would like to change it to ‘newpointe.org’ to make it current.  Maybe this can go into our 2nd Quarter goals for the IT Department; I definitely don’t want to rush it.  Everything I’ve read is telling me that you can severely break your domain if things go wrong.  That being said, we will be testing the domain name change in a lab environment before even thinking about pulling it off on the production servers.

After a week of thinking it over, I’ve decided that I’m going to move my blog to a different location.  The nice thing is that I’m going to stay on the WordPress platform, so all of my posts, comments, etc. can be exported from here and imported to the new site.  The bad thing is that feed address is going to change, and you all will have to add the new feed once I move.  I promise I don’t take it hard if you want to drop me for creating extra work.    This isn’t immediate; I’ll give plenty of notice before the blog actually moves to the new server.

That’s all for now… hopefully sleep will catch up with me soon.
