<strong>Main Report or Narrative</strong>: Another long week. On Tuesday, I moved the spare computers in 102 and 306, and played around a little bit with Wordpress theming. I also helped Officer Johnson set up her new laptop, and tried resolving some password issues with another administrative assistant. I took a brief look at the Canter-adm website, but didn't have a chance to see what I could resolve.

Thursday, I helped the teacher in room 301 with printing, and finally got to take a look at the spare computers in 207 (the last time I was in there was during Fall quarter!). While there, I resolved a printing issue that one of the teachers had asked me to take a look at. As regards the spare computers, there are a total of 5 in the room, and the teachers need at least two (which is good because there are two in there working well). There are another two running Windows 98, both of which I was able to salvage 128 MB of RAM from, in hopes of combining them into one CPU and then upgrading. It turns out (barring further investigation on Tuesday) that <em>both</em> RAM modules are bad. Argh. The other computer only has 128 MB of RAM and isn't doing so well; I'll take a closer look Tuesday. At this point, there are only two working computers in the room, and a total of three RAM modules that I'd like to take a closer look at (they're in the computer lab, and I think the one on the far right definitely works well).

In other news, I'm running out of space to put the spare CPUs and displays. I'll send Russ an email about the potential for asset disposal, and I still need to get back to Mitch's and Shaz's most recent emails.

Also, there's something up with the cabling in room 306 that prevents the network/Internet from working. The teacher said something about the fuse not working? Since it wasn't really accessible (at Canter, the boxes are several feet up in one corner, and would require a ladder or something to each), I didn't manage to take a look at it. Any suggestions?
