Day Five


It's only bloody Friday...

Lots of stuff was sorted today, and nothing really broke, which was nice.

Art tech's computer was replaced, made portable and had Illustrator installed. It all appears to be fine. Kiddy Internet is all sorted. With lots of machine moved around over the summer  there was some hardcore Censornetting to be done. It's all fine now.

The problem's we've been having with PaperCut were due to the guy that left installing it wrongly and stuipdly. It's been set back to how it was (as recommended by the PaperCut people's docs after some dicking around with shell scripts which half worked and half didn't) and has been removed from the local machines. It's fine, charges kids, and their work even comes out the printer.

Laptop production line is up and running, we have another one nearly ready now(!)

ARD is installed in the new ICT room, although we can't put the plist in the default user's profile as we're not running the LocalHomes we're used to in there. Perhaps put this in to the default user template?

Firefox is still being a bitch. All machines have not been set to have our internal home page as the start page (why?), and usually it says there is a version already running and will not start. To get round this you have to delete the Profiles folder in App Support - could be a pain as everyone already has a profile.....

Next week - 
  • Still need to make L6 accounts
  • Still need to clear crap from staff room area
  • Still need to make Firefox work, and ARD and a lone scanner that no one uses...
  • Still need to go to the other site!
  • Still need to install printers on all Macs
  • Still need to heavily test 10.4 MCX
