Random musing along my technical travels.
So, two posts done – I might actually be serious about this! For those of you just re-joining us, I covered the various why’s about my prolonged absence and reasons why I have chosen now to return to blogging in part 1 of this series. It was an emotional affair which was probably as much […]
Wow!!, has it really been almost four years since I last sat down and wrote anything for telnetport25.com? What have I been doing? Why return now? What are you going to be writing about? – these are the questions that I hear no one ask! What have I been doing? Probably easier to really ask […]
Wow, and I really mean wow! – here in the UK it has been a 4 day holiday due to Easter ~ However, to round off what has been a very cool four days with my family – I received the following e-mail just a few moments ago from Microsoft: Dear Andy Grogan,Congratulations! We are […]
I am (almost) speechless – I have just received a notification that I have been re-awarded the status of Exchange MVP for the 4th year running from Microsoft. I am really pleased – and again – humbled and honoured that people who read this site and my community peers still think that all this time […]
Ok, so last weekend I was happily messing around in my Exchange test lab, then as Elzar from Futurama would say “Bam” the Exchange 2010 virtual server that I am working on dumps me out of RDP and will not let me back in. I tried to ping the said Exchange Server – no reply, […]
I just wanted to do a quick post to all of the readers of my site, and indeed the whole Exchange community whom I come into contact with – to sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart for contributing to myself being re-awarded the MVP in Exchange Server for 2011. When I […]
Wow, that is all I can say at the moment!!!! I found out on the 1st of April (and thankfully not an April fools joke) that I had been re-awarded the Microsoft Valued Professional for a second year in the technology area of Exchange Server. With what I am about to say, I can certainly […]
As posted here and here during the mid point of this year I was taken “off radar” from a lot of my Exchange endeavours to work on the design, tendering and technical project management of the re-fit of my companies data centre. Considering the amount of work that was involved (as we had to rebuild […]
As per my post here – some of you will be aware that my lack of posting has mainly been down to my work on my companies Data Centre. As mentioned before as we have had to do this in situ (where all of the existing server and Communications infrastructure is still in place) which […]
NOTE: This article has been republished due to popular demand – it was removed when I migrated to the Word Press platform – thanks to all whom requested it back! I am really sorry for what is a real lack of posting on the site recently. I have been writing – just not as much […]
I know that this is way off topic, but it is something that I want to get off my chest, its a rant. I cannot apologise for it – I had to speak out. I will not mention any names, but it is a rant about poor service and bad contracts – with a small […]
If you have been following the news in the U.K the latest political hot potato surrounds the Prime Ministers (former) Political Press Officer (which is a fairly high position within Government outside of the cabinet) Damian McBride. It would seem that Mr McBride had written a number of e-mails which contained less than accurate statements […]
Today started out like any other – wake up with my son on my head (yes he does that), got pulled out of bed by my wonderful wife, stand in the shower, get dressed (don’t visualise that as it’s not nice and this is a family site), drink tea, drive to work, review Technical issues, […]
