Moving on

This week I started working for SkyWay USA officially. Technically, I've been doing work for them since around the beginning of the year. As first weeks at a new job goes, this has been a very easy transition for me.

I've spent the week working on several items. First off, I've been working on the new Web and e-mail server. I've decided to use cPanel for the backend of the system, and have thus far been extremely happy with the product. It's powerful, and setup was a breeze to do. Even better, the interface can be changed by use of themes, which I plan to be designing one specifically for SkyWay.

My second project of the week has been getting a new file server up and running. Upon my arrival here, I learned that their old server was on loan, and the owner was wanting it back in a bad way. I had to setup a new server and get the files copied over rather quickly, working on creating a new organizational structure. Based on my past experience with doing this at WHAS, I knew that there would be a little chance that some people may not like the change, but for the most part it was a cake walk.

The third project I've started working on has been the phone system, which up to this point hasn't really been touched. Good thing that I have a background as a telephony administrator, or else this would be a really tricky thing to do. Their current setup makes use of a Panasonic PBX, which really took me off guard. Slowly but surely I've accepted that this system would most likely remain, and have been working to aquire manuals and software so that I can properly configure the system, including voicemail (which currently sucks).

Anyhow, that's all I have for the time being. It's been a busy week and next week only looks to be busier at this point.
