Projects and Pastimes

UKESEC.info - UK Electricity Supply Emergency Code

With the prospect of blackouts in the Winter of 2022/2023, the government has done their thing and released a nice "easy-to-read" PDF. So I took the data out the PDF, and created an interactive website for people to check when they may be subject to blackouts. There's also a calendar subscription endpoint too, which will prove extermely useful if this tool has to be utilised, which we all hope not of course.

The Whiskey Jar, Northern Quarter, Manchester

Further to past projects with the owner of this establishment, I installed a new wireless and wired network infrastructure for the Whiskey jar, allowing management, staff and customers to login and utilise a high-speed internet connection, whilst keeping different user groups separated.

Attached to this new infrastructure are also critical systems such as the point-of-sale and EFT terminals, running on their own segregated network.

I utilised some great equipment from Ubiquiti Networks for this project, including their EdgeMAX and UniFi line of products. I highly recommend it.
