  • Networks

    Martin’s post about the new network infrastructure project he is working on, reminded me that I posted some photos on my blog of the job he and I did the weekend before last. We repatched the cabinets in client’s basement. The job is not yet complete as we are waiting on a delivery of cables…

  • How do you open an EMZ file?

    We had an enquiry this morning, from a client, who had recieved a number of .emz files as attachments to an email, but she could not open them. I started to explain to but the client simply decided to forward me the email and I returned to her a file she could read. So what…
