]]> I went to a technician meeting in Ashe county today with my fellow Techs. We met at Ashe County High School to talk about all things tech related to the school system. We got some good information on how to serve the schools better, and manage the 5000 PCs that we have.

I got some pictures of the fall colours on the way up the mountain, sorry for the crappy camera phone pictures.

There was also a vendor showing a content filter appliance called M86, a very cool product.

Speaking of Tech, have a look at the workstation that I use every day. It is a dell Optiplex 620 that has an extra video card so I can have 3 monitors. I do a lot of scripting and working on multiple servers at a time, so the extra monitors really help.

The Technology department went to the ITEC trade show in Charlotte on the 25th.  There was about 20 vendors, and a few cool products.  But it was not a very impressive show.
