Staff News, August
Work still insists on asking me to write items for the staff newsletter. And so I keep writing things like this:
IT SERVICES
Scientists at Bath University in the UK recently demonstrated a self-replicating machine – a robot capable of making a perfect copy of itself. (see http://reprap.org)
It’s one small step from this to swarms of robotic killing machines laying waste to the Earth, enslaving humanity and turning us into (literal) battery farms a la The Matrix.
Helping IT Services in their battle against such computer-mediated doom is our new Server and Network Administrator, M------ D------. He started work here on August the 18th, and he’s fitting in nicely.
A Server and Network Administrator looks after all the “background” parts of our computer systems – the networking equipment and the mysterious boxes locked away in our server room.
But M------- will also be doing plenty of desktop computer support as well. So say hello when you see him. And thank him for his small part in staving off the techno-apocalypse.
David Witteveen,
IT Manager.
