O'Mara refurbishment - Part 1

Late last year I received an email from Dr B requesting me to come to see him. Usually your boss requesting your presence is something to be concerned about but with Dr B its usually a good thing.

So, I wander in. I've been involved with the Astronomy group for a while now, despite desperate attempts by my former employer to stop this from happening. It seems this meeting was good news indeed. One of the telescopes at Mt Kent which has fallen into disuse is now being refurbished, an exact date had yet to be set, but it was all looking very positive. 

I was to be given a key role in this refurbishment and I was very happy about this.

Late last week I get another request from Dr B. Now, due to a desperate need for this telescope to be brought back to life, Jack and I are being tasked to rebuild this sucker, seemingly almost from ground up - new servers, new software, fixing tracking bugs, and making suggestions at possible extra markets for this machine when it's up and running. *yay!*

This is quite the project. Not many people get the opportunity to work something like this. As yet we're still unclear of the exact details, but I expect a call any minute for a meeting to start the process.
