Day(s) worked or described: T Θ

Total hours for week: --

The School:  Till.

Kind of Work: Tech general.

Main Report or Narrative:  Ah, sorry for the lack of reporting for -- well, many weeks.  But I'll try to sum up exactly what I've been doing:

- I've generally been going around doing routine maintenance on the computers in the big and little buildings of Till.  

-I began work in the library, and with the help of Mitch, we were able to restore, I think, 8 of the 9 machines which were previously not working or were working too slowly.  I updated most of them with windows 2k if they did not already have them installed.

-Mr. Z had three computers -- I was only able to fix one.  One needs a hard drive, and one will not turn on for some reason.  I was unable to fix the problem with the computer that would not turn on, and I haven't gotten around to the hard drive issue yet.  

-Numerous computers in the little till needed updating and general tweaking to go faster -- some of them were extremely slow and sometimes were missing mice and keyboards.  I did the best I could to distribute what resources I was able to get to these computers.

-There were several rooms in Big Till which needed power cords and printer cables.  These were taken from surplus in the library.

-Mitch showed me lots about perl scripting and other general neat things, and we worked on [well, mitch worked on -- I tried to learn it] a script for updating the blogs for the school.

-I updated the Adobe Flash on [nearly?] all the computers at little till and was able to troubleshoot some problems dealing with the incompatibility of .docx's and Word 2003 by downloading a converter for some of the teachers who requested it.

-Many printers were fixed  networked.

I think that's all that happened in the last few weeks.  and I'll be more consistent in my weekly reporting from now on.  sorry 'bout that!
