It has been suggested that I start to include photos in my weekly Janet6 blog updates. It might be a struggle some weeks to make this in any way interesting or relevant, but I might as well give it a go. This week’s photo is from a visit to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). It was a gloriously crisp and freezing morning, and the photo is nothing more than a view from the main entrance, the building in the centre of the photo however is more relevant as it’s the location of one of the Regional Network Entry Points that will connect Janet6 to the Thames Valley Network.
Another week passes and I find myself wondering what has happened this week that’s of sufficient interest to warrant a mention in my weekly blog update. Truth be told, not a great deal. Most of the week seems to have been spent updating spreadsheets and project plans, and whilst this is a vital part of managing any project, it’s not particularly interesting. It’s worth mentioning that the majority of the information being used to update said spreadsheets and project plans has been provided by RNOs and RNEP host Universities.
The rollout of Janet6 is now well and truly in full swing. The job of a Project Manager is generally one of coordination, and with a project this size there’s plenty to coordinate! Whilst our suppliers are busy working on delivery of their components of the network, there’s plenty of other things to keep us busy.
