<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

Monday, I believe I spent most of the day tootling around in the computer lab, stripping malfunctioning computers of RAM and chucking that which I had harvested into the four MEDIA CENTER COMPUTERS (in all caps, because they shall now forever be known as such even though classes that come into the lab just kind of use them as regular computers). They now run blindingly fast, or at least as close as we're going to get to any semblance of fast. I also took a look at what Dana had done with the tantalizing new Rapid Eye disk on Mr. Laws' laptop, and did a little playing around to see whether I could make any progress. I managed to acquire the IP address for the Rapid Eye unit (harder than it sounds), but wasn't able to get too much further than that since a Vista-related upgrade took approximately 600 years to download and I didn't have the time to wait it out. Wednesday, I talked to Ms. Buris-Gaines for a bit and found out that she wanted all of the games I'd uninstalled back on all of her computers. I bumbled around with this for a little bit, and realized that one of the computers lacked a functional disk drive and the other needed to be reimaged before I could do anything with it. I was further tempted away by the promise of getting Rapid Eye to work, so I asked her to wait until Thursday and skittered over to the laptop, where I downloaded the Rapid Eye update and got it almost at the functional level. On Thursday, there was no yearbook due to report card pickup day, so I spent all day installing games on Ms. Buris-Gaines' computer, getting inordinately excited about all of the features on Rapid Eye and showing them to a very tolerant Mr. Laws, and eating some delicious peach cobbler from the bake sale -- basically, an ideal day.
