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

This week was quite an intense week with lots of work on the table for me and Mitch and Joe.  Basically, every Lab computer had to be turned over to the new MOLLISON2 domain.  This entails thawing, joining, restarting, logging in, changing things, freezing.  Unfortunately there was a bizarre time issue that Mitch and I could not figure out.  Nevertheless, I still persisted in switching domains.

Then, finally I used Microsoft's support site and told the clients of the domain to be NTP clients and then made the server the NTP server that would get its time from time.windows.com  Weirdly enough, these computers were still an hour ahead.

So, Mitch took a look and through some bizarre ancient ways of the command prompt we figured out that current time and local time were apparently different.  It all came back to adjusting or not adjusting for daylight savings time.  So, a quick switch on el servero fixed the problem, and the time is all right.

This meant that any potential issues in garnering INSTR's trust would be eliminated.  INSTR, it turns out, was well impressed with MOLLISON2 and even gave it a kiss on the first date.  Oo la la!  

But seriously, now we have that important trust relationship and we can begin to take control of Mollison from the inside out.  We begin Phase I shortly.  Muahahaha.

On Friday, I woke up at the crack of dawn and journeyed with Mitch to meet Shaz and Joe for a little professional development thing at Mollison where we expressed our nerdy concerns to the teachers and staff at Mollison.  

The most important and hopefully effective portion of the discussion revolved around the status of the lab and appropriate lab management and behavior.  The end result is that I have to clean the lab up a lot, and teachers need to start enforcing some lab policy to keep it clean.  

This is where we gather all the assets that need disposing and call Asset Disposal to dispose of them.  

In other news, I'm also tinkering with the website to see what kind of column width looks better and if it should be symmetrical.  <a href="http://schools.cuip.net/mollison">Lemme know what you think.</a>
