<strong>Kind of Work: </strong>Tech General, Helping Teacher

<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Upon arriving on Wednesday, I was presented with the problem of three computers that wouldn't accept the Deep Freeze password, making software installations impossible.  Luckily, Mitch showed me how to "ghost" machines, which allowed me to work around the problem.  I tried one on Wednesday, and did the other two on Friday.  Also on Wednesday, I used the same ghosting technique to fix a computer that just wasn't booting at all.  A teacher also wanted help getting the internet up and running on a computer that was far from any outlet.  Unfortunately, the long cord that I had was broken.

On Friday, I basically finished up everything that I started on Wednesday.  I finished ghosting the computers and running the compliance scripts. (I think they are up to code, someone check my work!)  I also moved a printer from Dr. Sanders' office to the exterior office.  After plugging it into the new computer and finding the correct drivers on the HP website, it worked fine! The office people said that it didn't need to be shared, but if it does, I can set that up next week.  Finally, I snuck into room 120, where the teacher had wanted internet for her computer, and finally got that working.  I even found a way to lay the cable so that it won't be in anyone's way. (A well-threaded cable is a beautiful thing, folks)

All in all, it was pretty satisfying, because I resolved some problems and got things working.
