August for me is all about gardening, I try to have as much of a disconnect as possible. This year has been the hardest year so far though as PrimaryT has 3 ongoing legal cases and the Etherpad foundation is due a launch on the 22nd so that’s really eating into my summer holidays. Never the less I’m managing to get into the garden and my “must complete” tasks are all done I can get onto doing some of the landscaping I have been putting off for a few years.

I’m pretty happy with our achievements this year, discovering new sources for firewood and other materials have been a huge bonus and my friends/neighbours/family have been a huge help. I also have a contractor working on the site and despite him banging away from 8am I’m still able to sleep pretty well, looking forward to having a slightly warmer house this winter than last and I hope that soon it will begin feeling like an ideal environment to have frequent visitors on a more regular basis!

A few years back I stopped most of my work on our pretty nice Microsoft Exchange service and handled over full control the extremely competant Mark at Primary Technology.  Mark has many years experience working on our Microsoft Exchange for schools service and I have to say his recent blogging on Exchange 2007 to 2010 migration is fantastic.  If you have a minute and you’re into Microsoft Exchange stuff then check out Marks fantastic blog!

Also keep your eye on things changing at School Email, we’re introducing the new interface and a bunch of other amazing new feature that we are sure schools are going to absolutely love!
