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

Since we last spoke, I have fit as many computers as possible in Mrs. Siegler's room. I also finally received my mini-DV to FireWire cord and have been editing the Kindergarten play(s) in my spare time at work and outside of work. Note to self (and others), make sure the camera records sound well and doesn't give you a nice hum for the first 20 minutes of footage. Oh well, I'm making it work.

In other news, there have been a noticeable bout of viruses touting themselves as anti-virus software. I can't tell exactly how they are getting on the computer, but if you notice anything like iWin Games or iWin toolbar, remove that PROMPTLY. If anyone is having an issue with a fake anti-virus software that is restricting any .exe files from running, the fix is to boot the comp in safe mode with a command prompt. Navigate to C:/Documents and Settings/Local Settings/Application Data and you should see a suspicious folder with some string of six random lower-case letters. Delete that completely (del filename, rd filename)! Should fix the problem and you can reboot and run .exe files and not be hassled by fake anti-virus malware(?). I did have one issue with one computer where the iWin toolbar, etc. did not cleanly become uninstalled and somehow some proxy settings got changed in IE. Keep an eye out for that if you are connected to the internet but can't browse the web. Just change the proxy settings in Internet Options (don't use a proxy server).

Also, the school is on the list for consolidation, as you probably know. I offered to help with the data in some way, but two teachers (Mr. Jones and Ms. Meili) are currently handling the situation and don't need my assistance. Testing begins soon, so I'm making sure the lab and library are up to date (library frozen post-virus fiasco).
