This is awesome stuff Paul.

As you may recall my pastor is not a user and not a believer of things internety when it comes to ministry so I need items like this to show him what can be done, what can be achieved, etc ...

Thanks.

That's cool and no pressures if you don't want to do so.

Oh wow, thanks Sam I apprecieate that I really do and if there's anything you'd like me to cover specifically then just ask or use my suggestion box!

Would you perhaps be interested in doing a write up about Meraki and why you picked it, how you did it, the benefits etc?

I don't see twitter as a replacement for my RSS Reader - I see the two as entirely difefrent beasts.

Yes, like you I follow some of the bloggers who's blogs I access via RSS (you for example) but the beauty of my RSS reader is that the link to new content sits there waiting patiently for me to click through it as you may have spotted from my random replies to older postings of yours.

Twitter on the other hand is hard to organise / filter and certainly isn't good on a historical point of view for tracking older content. And I can only imagine if you follow more than I, how much harder it must be to track said content.

Kevin - thank you for this. Another product I can look into as I haven't heard of Open-Mesh before. And I do like the fact that their kit is cheap - wonder if that translates to the UK?

When I replied to the email I did so out of my own knowledge and a quick and dirty google search - but that was restricted by my own ability to think creatively on the search terms. Professionally I know of kit that does dual SSIDs or can be configured to do so, but they don't come cheap (I'm thinking Cisco here).

Thanks for teh twitter ID - now following you and have added you to my ChurchIT list as well. Also intrigued to hear how you get on with your proposed recommendations ... I know what happens to mine!

Hi Pam - I hadn't heard of Ruckus before and certainly haven't come across their Zone Director. It looks interesting stuff and I'll certainly take more of a peek.

For my church I've got Xirrus coming to do a free survey so we'll have a much better idea soon of what can be done - however neither Xirrus nor Ruckus are free (as far as I know) whereas PUBLICip is - if we discount the re-used PC and AP :)

I'll second Shaun's thanks as the more that post / twitter gets the word out and that can only be a good thing.

Secondly the positives of using social media needs to be shouted loud and long and just maybe the worldwide church will start to drive this thing rather than react.

Thank you Alastair - your comment and prayers are really appreciated.

Love all of these vids especially the "how will you manage" - tx for the share.

That's a tad unfair ...

We had to wait six years for various reasons - none of which I'll divulge here but my wife of 24yrs would have hated this sort of ostentatiousness.
