Main Report or Narrative:

I've been in classrooms a lot the past two weeks. On wednesday alone, I was in 5 different rooms. 106's computer had so many programs running on startup that it was nearly unusable. I also installed First class on a computer in that room. The computer in 200 was having problems as well, the specific nature of which I can't remember right now. 209's printer wouldn't stop printing giberish. I eventually connected it to a different computer in the room and set up a script so that all the computers can use it. The teacher in 307 needed help installing some software. Also, Ms. Lattimore on the first floor needed help installing some software from a DVD onto a computer without a DVD drive. I ended up putting the information on the server in the "staff" folder and running it from there. 

Ms Herron also had me installing the printer in 107 to all the laptops. I'm about 2/3 finished, only the right column of laptops needs to be completed.

Nathaniel has really helped clean out MDF. We have some space where we can go through and fix the computers stored in the closet.

Ms. Herron hasn't sent in the asset disposal form, so the parts are still in 213. Sarah, would you be able to help her out with that? The techknow tables and computers are set up in there now, so the junk is wedged in the back corner.

Projects for next quarter include getting the second laptop cart ready for use, cleaning out the lab and continuing to fix the computers in mdf. Also, I would like to work on a project of some kind. I have some teachers in mind I might want to work with.

Currently Reading: John Searle: On a Witch Hunt by Richard Schweder. It's an interesting essay about an anthropologist who ends up sitting on a witchcraft tribunal, and votes to convict
