The School: Canter.

Kind of Work: Tech general.

Main Report or Narrative:  After my introductory day at Canter, I wasn't exactly sure what it was that I needed to do --- I took out some computers from storage and began to run them to see if W2k worked on them or not.  I found a compaq [now sitting on the top of the dell computer on the desk in the library.] which would not run windows, and when I attempted to reinstall windows on it, it would just lag and refuse to complete the install.  Ugh.  I brought another computer in my next work day, a dell, and I was able to install W2k on it, but for whatever reason, it would not connect to the network.  During my troubleshooting, the janitor needed me to get out to wax the floors, so I did.  I'll continue my work on this computer on Thursday.

I also spent some time working on a jam that one of the printers had, and showing one of the teachers how to switch which printer her printed pages comes out on.  I was also sent to --- I believe, room 102, where I had to set up a printer for the class.  Apparently, the printer will only be used by one girl who seems to have some special-ed needs and has some sort of a typing device that I've never seen before.  I asked the teacher about it, and she was unsure of how it was supposed to connect to the printer --- and I'm not sure if she ever gave me a straight answer on what it actually WAS.  I asked if there will be a computer connected to the printer, and the teacher said that a personal computer will be brought in.  I suppose I'll connect it when I go into work on thursday, and go from there.
