    “You just have to flick a switch and its on, right?”
    “It won’t cost that much…”
    i wish i had recorded some sound bites of these conversations over the past week, and no, I won’t name names… Over the past few weeks we’ve been a little quiet, but the guys have been working tirelessy on the relentless march to arriving onsite. A major piece of work i’ve had the Codify, Jomablue and GCCEC guys working on, is getting the venue wired for internet for the APC and tech•ed. So while i’ve been off on a quick week of leave, the world for these guys manage to turn upside down as you’ll see, almost to the point that I thought might come back to a bunch of frazzled network engineers splicing fibre late into the night…  and that might happen just yet.

    I have to say, i’m constantly impressed by the commitment these guys have to quality outcomes and the sheer amount of effort to every aspect of the delegate experience. There are quite a few unique challenges that mandate we need super speedy internets; such as the thought of 2500 HP Mini-notes turned on at once to Windows Update or Youtube.. and i’m sure over the next series of posts you’ll see the huge amount of effort the guys have put into giving you the fastest internet connection for tech•ed Australia ever.
