I'm now well in the swing with Kleeneze and have started to show others how they can make money the same way.  If you know of anyone who may be interested in earning some more money visit EarnMore.TV.

St Matthew's Primary School Trust

I've just created a new site for a Charity that I am a trustee of, St Matthew's Primary School Trust.

The Trust has been created to help raise funds for St Matthew's Church of England Primary School.  As a CofE VA School, any capital projects (building refurbishment etc) are only funded by the government to 90%; fully state schools are funded to 100%.

This means that the school has to raise 10% itself, not an easy task for a school serving such a low-income area.

The bill is already in to tens of thousands of pounds and will only get bigger.

The new webite www.stmatthewspst.org has some links to Amazon and EasyFundraising, if you are going to buy something online anyway, using the links on the website will help raise much needed funds without costing you a penny (or Dime).

Many thanks.

Apple iPad

There's been a lot of internet chat about the new iPad. Who would want it?  What would they use it for?

After reflecting for a while, it seems the perfect device for me:

I already have a desktop, laptop and iPhone but have the eternal men's problem of needing to sit with my wife whilst she is watching TV that I have no interest in;

The desktop is in my office (otherwise known as the spare room), I already get into trouble for spending too much time there;

The laptop isn't the easiest thing to use on a sofa whilst in cuddle mode, I have tried it but believe me it doesn't work;

The iPhone is great but the screen is a bit too small to use for a long time and the battery won't hold out with extended periods of constant use;

An iPad seems the perfect device, won't bother with 3G - it probably won't leave the house anyway.

I'm convinced, just have to sell it to the better-half now.

I seem to be in mad website creation mode at the moment, I've just recreated our church website at http://www.stmatthewscainscross.org.uk.

Great news (as if the recent results haven't been good enough), Gloucester Rugby have signed Sir Ian McGeechan (Geech) as an advisor.  A seriously good signing.  See the This is Gloucestershire article.

SCOM R2 (Systems Centre Operations Manager) Update

The SCOM R2 project is progressing well with Windows Server 2000/3/8, SQL Server 2000/3/8, Exchange Server 2008 and HP ProLiant hardware being successfully monitored.  198 servers in total.

The R2 release of SCOM really has made a great difference and I am happy to now say that SCOM is a mature product that adds a great deal to the infrastructure.

I will soon start to Blog the interesting bits that have I have found and problems that I have managed to work around.
