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

I haven't done much reporting in a while! I haven't had too many issues lately and so have had relatively few issues to report.

Over the past few weeks, I finished the last of the pile of computers and threw away most of the printers that were broken. I'm now going back through the fixed computers and making sure that all of them have the latest version of Office, Google Chrome, Mcafee, etc installed. Either way though there's a sizable number of computers that can be put in classrooms as they become needed. (I think) two computers have issues that are fixable but that can't be fixed right now -- one needs a new application of thermal paste to the CPU, the other needs a kind of RAM that isn't available.

The random machine with Ubuntu installed is also in need of a home. Mitch, I remember talking to you about that when I found it and you mentioned using it to replace the current webserver. Maybe migrating the website to that machine would be a worthwhile project to get done before the end of the year? I could pull one of the backups of the Ray site off the server and thoroughly make sure that everything works correctly without touching the live server so I can't break anything.

One of Ms. Cobb's computers was infected with a virus that was sending out spam from any email accounts that logged in. It seemed to live in a Chrome extension that continually reinstalled itself and gave itself permission to scrape all of the info that went through Chrome. I used Avast! to run a boot time scan that picked it up and deleted it. Hopefully nothing major has been compromised as a result.

Monday and Wednesday of this week I was out due to a midterm and a job interview, so this week hasn't been very productive. Next week will be saner, hopefully.

I'm short on things to do now that all of the computers have been fixed. Do you think that it would be good to try to make that Linux box into a server? It would consist, I imagine, of things like setting up Apache, a database, openssh, and so on... things that would likely take me longer than a month to
