Nice. This is exactly the sort of hack I'm tempted by, but part of
reasoning is that I need to ship some responsibility to someone else.
We just lost the only other member of staff with any IT
skills/interest and I'm the only one left. If I'm on holiday or off
sick and things go tits up the office is screwed. Having some other
monkey on the end of a phone or e-mail would be useful.

Besides, building stuff and trying to be a wannabe geek at the same
time is tricky.
