Of course I’ll start today’s EOD with an update about its start of day. As has been reported in Service Status, at about 7am we had a loss of power to one of our data centres in Sheffield. You may have experienced intermittent issues with our systems during the affected period, including website and email. It’s never nice to see things go wrong but always heartening to see how quickly and effectively our network team can jump on and resolve such issues.
Bob tells us more about this later, and why it’s not always possible to rely on backup systems to automatically take over. More…
*zooooom!*. Did you see it? It’s gone already! The last bank holiday before Christmas. Cripes!
Back to work for everyone in Plusnet then. See what they got up to:
How do you follow yesterday’s very special end of day? With a normal one of course! More…

You can really tell the company is getting back into the habit of writing EODs. Usually it takes one of us editors to pop out a post on our internal forums towards the end of the day and do a little prodding later on to make sure we get them. However, having been ensconced in meetings all afternoon until about 10 minutes ago, I haven’t done any of the usual posting and prodding. So, with some trepidation, I went to have a look to see if anyone had thought to post out what they’d been up to and I’m pleasantly surprised!
Good evening, Ali here as your Editor. Today I’ve had the delights of being on multiple conference calls - from home - using Skype. Isn’t the Internet a grand thing? OK, so the quality of Skype isn’t always spot on, but it’s so much better to hold a conference call or meeting where you can see the participants. One glitch More…
Good evening one and all. It’s Ali here in Development and for your delight and delectation I have the End of Day update. Sorry not to have an update on my tea making performance of late but the statistics are so poor they are not worth publishing. I am burying my bad news. Today for example I didn’t even obtain a mug until after lunch More…
Evenin’ all. PJ here reporting live(ish) from the CSC. I’ve been here for a couple of days, sticking my nose in and generally making a nuisance of myself. In fact, now that I’ve got myself all settled, I think I’ll sit here in the call centre tomorrow as well. (Although with the number of questions I’ve been asked in the last 30 mins I might just change my mind). More…
Crikey. When the weather report was talking about a really hot Wednesday, I was expecting blue skies and sunshine, not a nasty grey, humid and sweltering day. Oh well, at least we have air con!
Our EOD updates follow…. More…
