Project #000000001

Well, at least project #000000001 that I have blogged about. It’s a biggie too. That OS, everyone has been moaning about as being a failure – Windows 8.1 – well, I have a plan to role that out. To some 387 tablets. I have a plan that puts 16 of Read more…

Blog

Blogs are so 1999

I started this website in 1999. So, some 16 years later, after it being the home of my own company for the last 7 years – I am giving it another shot as a blog. 120 characters on the twitter (@msetchell) just doesn’t seem to be enough sometimes. And I Read more…

About me

I work as a ICT Services Lead for Lourdes IT, an IT Support team providing support for schools within our MAC, but also for more schools outside of the MAC.

I am also a Strategic IT Lead for Central RSA Academies Trust.

I really enjoy my job, and what we have achieved. I’ve been in my current role for 7 years, starting in a cupboard, and now in our own building with 14 staff – but I have been working in school IT support for the last 14 years.

I am a dad to 2, but have joined forces with my partner and her 2, meaning I drive a 7 seater car now and everything costs more, but it’s also a lot more fun.

Trying to motivate myself to get into work. So much to do.

Another school we are migrating over from google to office365. It’s ultimately a bazillion times better.

Set up an office with my personal work environment - and then spend every summer or holidays working in schools on crappy chairs and random rooms off a small screen 👍🤷‍♂️😂

Gave someone else a job today in a change of plan, but a good change all round.

Long old shift today. Finished gone 9, started at 8:30am. Three different schools.
— Matt (@msetchell) August 19, 2019

Sorry folks. Just wrote my September get ready email for supported schools and sent it out 😂 Also wrote a new school’s handbook. Last year we got over 1k tickets above our monthly average for the year. Expecting it to be much more year too. So north of 2.5k tickets.

This is exactly what I did. It’s not pleased everyone along the way. It’s interesting how people turn when you are no longer useful to them. I am sure every IT person knows the feeling of people being friendly when they have IT issues and then nothing in between. pic.twitter.com/uelQwTyFWM

My rattling mailbox is really doing my head in. Can you just replace them? Otherwise might need to get a wall mounted one and seal the door one up.

I have spent today making an SLE visit logging system for @central_rsaa in @Office365 - a SharePoint list, which then uses flow to email a custom HTML template and save a copy of it in the SharePoint documents storage. If suitable can look at making a PowerApp in future. Maybe.

There are three key areas to my role - 1) Delivering support, ensuring we are fast, friendly and helpful 2) that we pro actively deliver resilient systems that people can rely on and 3) developing and supporting the team that deliver 1&2. That’s a big difference to just #2

Struggling (as usual) with switching from being full time dad for the last week or so to an empty house. Sure I’ll get used to it. Sucks tho.
