Mitch stopped by today and instructed me on how to fix the latest batch of AR/AM problems.  Basically, we'll start phasing in the stu-3780-# logins.  I did this in several rooms today that reported problems, but those rooms that aren't having trouble with these programs I left as is.  This was mostly because there weren't teachers around, and I'd want to be able to explain to them in person that they need to login differently.  I will continue to search out each teacher in order to make sure all of the rooms eventually comply with this new login policy.

There's a computer in 110 that seems to have been fried over break by some sort of surge.  I need to speak with Ms. Evans to get the Windows XP CD's so I can try to re-image it.  This reminds me: what is the policy on teachers leaving their computers on at all times?  Should I tell them its a bad idea?

Room 208 needs a new printer.  The lab does also.  Mrs. Parks is aware of this but I need to remind her.

There was a complaint today that the Wiggleworks program is no longer working.  I checked and apparently this is because it was a shortcut to a program saved on the network drive W:.  I didn't see anything about Wiggleworks in \harte-srv01 so I'm unsure what to do.

Long standing issues:

I'd like to clean out the MDF.  There's a lot of old junk in there.

Also, at some point the wires on the east wall of the computer lab need to be untangeled and organized.

I also need to call Dell for repairs to the 3 dead CPU's in the lab.

Other than that, it was a good week back at Harte!
