Started to catch up on journal and accidently wiped out a weeks worth of actions. I was frustrated and decided to work on E-rate instead. Will return to the journal later after stress relief. No news from E-rate yet so must still be in review process but no PIA activity yet.
8:45 - head to main office to check mail and messages from the week.
Sent out messages to e-rate coord about Item 21 attachments with instructions
send out messages to tech coord about windows 2008 server workshop and May monthly meeting. Contacted Debbie S about presenting on Live@edu for the tech bunch.
Talked to Robin F (Alma) about IDEAS (emails were getting blocked on both sides)
Talked to Paul E (Charleston) about issues with internet connectivity
Talked to Rick Siddiq about Impero demo lab at coop.. will check with Mr Fenter for permission
Talked to Bill F (Telecomp) about not getting the job of the wireless he wanted to know how off he was and I told him that I wasn't sure I could do that but that if given permission I would let him know but he wasn't WAAY off.
Talked to Jason about exchange of hard drives.
worked with Scott Organ on CIV issues
worked with Warren on BEE project issues, the connectivity was less than desired on the 965 number so he is doing the test on the 635 number since Eric had gotten 6 mg connectivity on his line.
also discussed the idea of using the Ecessa box as our firewall device. Share that info with Shelby and she thought that was a great idea since DIS would be able to give support for that device. I also told her that would be helpful if I were to retire that the next tech person would not be saddled with another of my OpenSource devices especially if they were not comfortable with Linux OS.
4:30 - 4:50 - helped Pat Yick overcome password issue with Google Mail and Internet Explorer
