<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Sorry for the lateness of the report, as I fell ill after a busy Friday night and the report totally slipped my mind. In any case...

For the most part it felt like that I hadn't really left Reavis at all, as on Tuesday I dived straight back into work checking up on various things for about a half-hour before Terry, the new TRA for Reavis, arrived. Mitch followed soon after. For the most part the rest of the day was spent working on the laptop fleet project that's been ongoing, and we also discovered that the laptops also had no sound drivers, so I started to go back on some computers to install those. Because we only had a limited number of power outlets and USB drives, the going was rather slow on the laptops.

Friday was a quite a bit busier, as the majority of my day was spent more on getting some new technology up and running as opposed to working on the laptops. There were apparently three classrooms in the school that had gotten a virtual whiteboard set up, but weren't using them because the software and drivers for them weren't installed. I spent quite a bit of time getting them to work properly, but they eventually all got up, to the resounding cheers of the students who wanted to watch movies on them haha.

After that problem was taken care of, I first decided to let some Windows installation on some laptops going while I went to check out this one computer in room 114 (or was it 112?) that refused to connect to the wireless. I couldn't figure out what wireless card was in the machine in the first place, so I had to open up the case to take a look. I then installed the drivers, but it still refused to attain a proper IP address. I tried fiddling around with the settings for a while, but I eventually just gave up and e-mailed Terry about it.

The rest of the day was just spent working on those laptops, and I'd say that about half of them are completely done now, with sound, graphics, and WiFi working just fine. I estimate that they'll all be done by next week at the latest.

Also I get the feeling that teachers don't really know when I'm there at Reavis or how to contact me or something, because every time that I actually find out about tech problems is because a teacher somehow catches me walking from place to place or something. But that might just be me.
