Main Report or Narrative: 

The data switch to harte-srv01 seemed to go over pretty well.  Thanks to everyone in CUIP who came in to help point all the programs to the new location.  

The office printer is working again.  Apparently someone from OTS came in to fix it.

Room 208 desperately needs a new printer.  They're old one is officially dead.

Has anyone ever heard anything about the effects of plugging a USB printer into a surge protector?  I read on HP.com that it causes the ink to blur, and that had been happening to a printer in 110 which was plugged in to a surge.  I've switched it out and there was no immediate impact, but we'll see if anything happens.

The computer lab is in good shape.

I made four or five other stops throughout the building today as well to do minor things (made desktop shortcuts, find files, etc).  Next week, the students are gone so I'm planning on meeting with teachers who feel like they need help with anything.  This of course is consistent with the overall idea of making Bret Harte more self-reliant, which I think it's well on its way to being!

Thanks again for helping with the data move!
