<strong>Kind of Work: Cleaning up.</strong>

Wednesday we were focused mainly on organizing the hardware nightmare in the computer lab.  Previously there had been a wealth of technical equipment, some usable and some not, strewn about in the computer lab.  This created two problems: 1. It was unsightly and messy 2. It caused a disorganization and a constant iquiry such as "Hey, does this thing work? No? Well then why do we have it here?"  To alleviate this, we sorted out all unused equipment into working and non-working piles.  Then this equipment was moved to room 224, one of Fermi's unused storage rooms.  The non-working equipment was placed in the back of the room, away from everything else so that it wouldn't be mistaken for usable equipment.  The stuff that still worked was placed at the front of the room so that we will have access to it if it is needed at a later date. 

On Friday, Dana set up a computer in 206.  This later turned out to be unnecessary, because the occupant of that room got a laptop.  Other than that, he continued the process of moving equipment from the lab to 224. 

Aside from that it was fairly quite this week, a few teachers with login problems, mainly because the "log in as:" box was incorrect or they didn't have thier CPS password and username yet.  Mr. Laws' Rapid Eye program was acting up, and after looking at it, there was really nothing we could do.

So overall, we solved the technical problems we could and made major headway in getting the school's technical equipment organized.  Hopefully now we can start focusing on getting more computers up and running, or beginning a collaboration with the teachers for interactive projects.
