<strong>Main Report or Narrative</strong>:
Tuesday, I got to work and remembered that there was ISAT testing going on, so I realized that I wouldn't get much done in any individual classrooms. I tried helping some of the social workers with ChildServe (username/password issues) but was unfortunately unsuccessful. I took another look at E3 - E5, restarting in Safe Mode to defragment those that needed defragmenting, and seeing if there was anything else I could do. I also took a look at the CUIP website, finally having (realized that I'd!) gotten the requisite permissions to alter the theme. After an hour between the memory and the website, Mitch stopped by and we ran down everything that I'd been encountering this quarter.

Some issues: I need to tell Russ about the printers Dr. Conlan has gotten in, and talk to Ms. Ahad about relocating some computers around the school to resolve the RAM issues (Ms. Escalona's specifically, but maybe some in 207 and others I don't know about). We discussed other possible memory solutions, but the only really effective one is to have spare physical memory, which Canter just doesn't have (I know, I know, I've almost accepted it now). We also had a quick rundown on group permissions mechanisms, and removed an extra restriction on the student group.

I also need to find display drivers for one of E3 - E5 so I can try downgrading the color display to see if it has a positive effect on the memory issues.
 
<strong>Some Other Remaining Issues</strong>
<ul>
<li>Space on computer in room 304</li>
<li>We need one more spare mouse to fully equip all the lab computers...but they really should have enough memory to be usable before this becomes an issue.</li>
<li>Using Canter's compliance website</li>
<li>Editing the theme for this site. That may not be something I can do too well at Canter, or at least not without my laptop.</li>
<li>I still have hope for DeepFreeze, sometime!</li>
