Test start on both generators yesterday went without a hitch. Call me geeky if you like, but seeing live reporting of diagnostics to Telegram Messenger chat still impresses me every time!

New arrival in the yard today Ecom Fibre Network

Our #GigabitBroadband Voucher Scheme changes lives. Darren runs a business from a village near Leighton Buzzard. His internet speed wasn't up to scratch, and he considered shutting up shop. He now has lightning-fast broadband, installed by Ecom Fibre Network. gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk/for-businesses…

Hello (literally) everyone. We're doing a #NetMcr+NetLdn on Thursday evening. 19:30 UTC+1 start, as usual. Two presentations on the agenda, and details should be winging their way to those of you on our respective mailing lists Real Soon Now! 😁

Honestly this is what today feels like

First image comes in from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Knocked up these pair of relays in a box today to replace a 5-gang two-way light switch. Two jobs ticked off the list in one go as the switch was in the way of a new doorway we are knocking through and also we now have software control over the lighting in the room.

More progress on our building works. I promise the toilets are much bigger than they look!

Colour transformation begins! Ecom Fibre Network

Making progress finally on the small data floor

It’s all starting to take shape!

Making progress on cabling for the first data suite, what MI6 used to call the ‘drive and mix’ room. It has a full copper mesh Faraday cage plastered in to the walls, under the concrete floor and above the ceiling to make sure no top secret data leaked out.

Archive photo of the generator hall being built, we believe taken in 1990. It looks much the same now other than the chap having a picnic on top of one of the engines! Anyone recognise him from 33 years ago?

Another archive pic from around 1989 when the current technical facility was just being built. The old transmission building which was of similar design to the sister site at #Poundon is still visible far right.

Taken my first steps on Mastodon today. If you are that way inclined please follow @[email protected]
