Solar / Wind powered shed suitability
Just had a nice new shiny shed fitted. Old shed had power fed to it from the house, however the new shed has a nice sloping south facing roof and always gets a nice flow of wind (advantage of living near top of a valley!)

Sharepoint
Hi All, Our company is talking about bringing in this application (it was on a monthly report), what exactly does the application do? I did an online check and it seems to provide a platform to build Intranets, is this a correct understanding? It seems a bit pointless as we already have an Intranet setup. Thanks
