<h2>Status on previously deferred items, ongoing projects, and specific to-do’s</h2>
<strong>Ay, too late now to try to recapture this part of the reporting.  However, not much has advanced on any of these in a while anyway. :(   </strong>
<h2> This week’s activity not at or for a specific school</h2>
<strong>Ay, too late now to try to recapture this part of the reporting.    </strong>

<strong> Computers</strong>
<ul>
	<li> Wednesday 4/11 -- Went with Randy Landsberg to Kersten Physics teaching center building to meet with Kurt and look at some older recyclable Dells.  Brought one back -- subsequently we will handle for a school and Office of spec Programs.</li>

<h2> This week’s activity at or for specific schools</h2>
<h3>Fermi</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Tuesday, with Sanjaya, for 3:30.</li>
	<li>Connected  lab printer, by its ethernet interface.  It already had a suitable static IP address, and  some of the computers have that printer installed already, with that address correct in the port settings.</li>
	<li>The assistive software for 207 needs registration keys and/or installation media.</li>
	<li>Thursday 4/12, for 2:00.  Looked for that MAGic and SHARK software, found original box but no CDROM in lab desk drawer.  Did misc fixup in lab.  A class came in -- one of the first to use the labs.</li>
	<li>Friday 4/13, with Shaz and Pierre, for about 3:00.  Before the Prof Dev meeting we completed printer setups for all of lab.  When they showed up from their internal meetings for our segment, Shaz gave them a very good talk about lab use and an intro to projects.  We circulated a couple sign-up sheets for classroom computer fixup, interest in blogs, and help with CPS logins.</li>
	<li><strong>The school administration was informed their startup with IMPACT would be deferred one week, to Monday April 23, instead of Monday April 16 along with most of  Area 15.</strong> <strong> </strong>Hence we treated the computer fixup list and CPS-password list as something to be dealt with over the course of the following week, not necessarily needed for Monday. (It turned out the deferment was cancelled and Fermi was expected to start IMPACT on the sooner Monday.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Fiske</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Wednesday 4/11, Fiske student work exhibited at Little Black Pearl workshop, in a project originating with the Oriental Institute Museum and implemented with the participation of CUIP.  Good going, Erik!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Till</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Tuesday for 0:45, by request from Linda Sudduth.  We re-enabled student printing to the Dell b/w printer in 513, her lab in the primary building.  The printer is wired into computer #2 and shared from there, and  was already in the LBP  script.  What we did previously to block student printing was to define access for different groups via the Security tab on the printer driver panel on the hosting computer.   Today we put back  into that list the GG-4740-Students group.</li>
	<li>Passed along to our NSPs by email a computer-checkup request. Erin indicated she will look into it on wednesday.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Wadsworth</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Thurs, 4/12, for 2:30.  With Russ and Sharon, worked in new lab on first floor, mostly setting printer entries.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Woodlawn</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Monday  4/9, for 90 mins.  Sasha and I came by to talk with Carisa about placing him at WCS, but the timing was off: even though we gt to see much of a Dell TechKnow lesson, she had to keep her focus on the students and the lesson, and wasn't able to confer with us. Probably Sasha can work there in non-TechKnow capacity on his Fridays; this Friday is not well suited, so we shouldreturn on Apr 20.</li>
	<li>I came by on  ___  to look into a couple lingering setup/fixup/followup  matters.</li>
</ul>
<strong>(Optional) Thought for the week:</strong>

(Trying from memory..)  To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow creeps in this petty pace to the last syllable of recorded time.  And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!  Life's but a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.  It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Checking with sources ...
Hey, not too bad!  I missed out "walking shadow" but nothing else big.
