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

It's really the first "remaining issue" below that would be awesome if it could be taken care of in my absence (plus it's out of my control; I can do everythinge else). All questions I have are italicized so you can easily pick them out. If anything's unclear, you may want to reference <a href="http://reporting.cuip.net/2007/11/30/last-week-canter/">my post from last week</a>.

<strong>Remaining Issues</strong>:

<ul>
	<li>DeepFreeze Remote Console. That's been out of my control for a while -- I think Russ just needs to find something out from CPS or something?</li>

	<li>I took care of some printer stuff (described below) with the side effect that the rarely-used printer in room 204 (the teacher's lounge) now has the bad drum unit and should be eventually replaced with another drum unit or another printer. <em>What's the course of action on this? Should I look at putting a few of the spare printers into use when I get back?</em></li>

	<li> I still need to work with Russ to possibly set up a wiki. This can wait until I'm back.</li>

	<li>I still need to find a long-term labeling solution for the hardware...as I figured would happen, a few of the post-its were ripped off. Obviously this will wait until I get back.</li>

	<li>I still need to make absolutely certain that every computer has the printer installed and is properly named. That sounds like a project for me for a rainy Friday, though.</li>

	<li>Still working on those report sheets for general usage, as well as my schedule for Fridays of next quarter. This will wait until I get back.</li></ul>

<strong>Resolved Issues</strong>:

<ul>
	<li>I finally fixed the CD-rom drive in the office. It involved some registry editing (I made backups, of course), and was apparently a problem relating to the CD-burning software Windows was using. Google was invaluable as always, of course. I think I'll have to install Roxio CD Creator when I get back, as burning is now broken (I believe). Still, I don't think the disappearing problem will occur again.</li>

	<li>Blogging directions have been sent out. I'm just having the teachers reset their passwords using the "Forgot your password?" feature, and then go from there. <em>Did you want to see the directions I typed up? What's the status on editing the CUIP wiki?</em></li>

	<li>The case on C4 was not completely on properly, which prevented one from using the shutdown/restart buttons. I fixed this.</li>

	<li>I finally moved the color laser printer from room 302 to Ms. Ahad's office, on her request. That's all set up, and I added it as a network printer to the main office computer as well. I also set up a password on the network interface for the printer in Lab 302; it's the same as the INSTR Canter tech password. I switched the drum unit for that printer with a drum unit from an identical model in the teacher's lounge -- as noted above, that printer in the teacher's lounge now has the same problems, while this one is working fine. <em>If you'd like to check out the physical setup of the printer in Ms. Ahad's room, and make sure the desk can hold up the printer (unfortunately it won't fit exactly on the top, as it's about a quarter of an inch too long), be my guest.</em></li></ul>



Thought of the Week: "I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying." Happy Holidays, and good luck to me (and everyone else) on finals!
