<h3>Ray</h3>
email 0:20, onsite thurs 1:30, total 1:50

* General check-in with Mary.

* Installed the two programs for generating two kinds of Ghost-related
floppy boot disk. Ran off two such disks, and configured the share and
login for the Bart's network disk.  To do:  Get together with SP to
further config the autoexec.bat with command options for Ghost.

Thurs 1/18 for 3:45

2000 and Linksys wireless adapter

end of day.

Tuesday 1/16 for 0:30

* Wade did not come in today -- I was planning to look at her home
computer which she would bring in.
* Visited briefly in both buildings.  Briefly spoke with Rodgers,
Thurman, Graham, and Z in upper building; Sudduth, White, and Jacobson in
lower building.
* Sudduth likes having her lab marked in her Deep Freeze console,
would like to get the other labs similarly organized.  Asked if we could
collect the computer names in 206 and 204 for her for this purpose.
* Reviewed installation of Reading Counts and the catalog part of
Athena
* Discussed server RAID drive problem.  Now that Smart technology has
done and billed one drive, that should provide guide for how much to P.O,
next one -- which apparently was part of the hang up.

Wednesday 1/17 for 2:30 with Christie

* Worked out a user sign-in issue wth Ms. Wade and her son on their
home computer.
* I joined Christie and Ms. Gaal in surveying lab 206.  It's in pretty
good shape.  The main issues are missing mice, and some questionable
ethernet cables and jacks (working for now but vulnerable).
* There was a GearUP meeting -- Z said it was scheduled to go on
until 7:00!
<h3>Wadsworth</h3>
Weekend 1/2hr, Tues 1/16 onsite for 4:30, Weds 2:50,  Fri 3:15 , total
= y:yy

Weekend 0:30

*Researching "for" control-structure, to use with "cacls" and fix student
username problem.  The error last week when I tried this was a low-level
absurdity!  The default font in command window shows round parens (like
this) so much like angle-brackets &lt;like this&gt; that I was reading tsexthe
former in examples and typing the latter. Arrrgh!

Tuesday 1/16 onsite for 4:30, with Noah

* Checked in with Mrs Townsend.
* Ran the corrected command

d:
cd usersstudents
for /D %s IN (*) DO  cacls %s /T /E /C /G %s:C

* Tried to do location-based printing setup for room 221, but was unable
to save the VBS file after editing through Group Policy.  Instead,
avoiding A.D. and just manually putting in the Startup folder, as done at
Sexton.  But this doesn't work too well yet; need to remediate those
computers, and use INSTR logins.

* The students are apparently not using their INSTR logins and folders --
hence a scurry to figure out saving.  We should talk about this.

Wednesday 1/17 onsite with Russ, 2:50

* We moved behemoth color printer out of the way, and brought the smaller
b/w HPLJ (with the bad ether card) over to be shared from Sharon's
computer, a betterplace for it for two reasons.

* I re-did some OTS remediation and rejoined INSTR, on basically all the
computers in one of the four rows; as a prerequisite to reliable INSTR
login and printing thruthe share.  (So this is starting to look like a
sizeable job overall -- Russ, what would you say to bringing Noah and/or
Terry into completing this?)

* One computer in that row is not being welcomed onto CPSWIRELESS network.
Will try a USB adapter as at Sexton.
