As of this afternoon, Monday, August 2, I have completed all new equipment setup tasks. I have two machines ready to be delivered; one of which I''m planning to deploy tomorrow morning; I'll deploy the other when I've made contact with the part-time faculty member.
In between setups, I've worked on several loose ends, as follows:
- I recovered the Office 2003 templates from a machine I had replaced, and copied them to the new machine. This person uses these heavily.
- I installed some testing software, which is highly proprietary, for two users in TRI for whom I had setup new machines.
- I installed Final Cut Pro for a faculty member in Theatre Arts. This was part of a large purchase. The Final Cut software installation takes a long time.
- I reghosted a machine in order to resolve a problem with Microsoft Outlook 2003, as the user wants to continue using that version.
- I added a local student user to a couple NetBooks I deployed a couple of weeks ago.
- Last week I installed six new machines for a lab in Natural Science. As the faculty member was out list week, I may need to take care of some loose ends later this week.
