Day Seven


The Big Boss came in today to catch up on some paperwork. He liked what we'd done to the layout of our office. In fact, he mentioned how that's the layout he would have chosen in the first place. He also mentioned that the extremely small IT office next door needed two computers installing for it's 3 members of staff. I won't have time to arrange that before term starts unfortunately so those teachers might have to use their laptops for a couple of days...

JED has been upgraded for 2009 on Benny and is ready to use. The year 11 --> year 12 transition accounts have been enabled. All departed students have been moved into an off roll section of Active Directory to keep things tidy.

Firefox 3 is FINALLY hacked / locked and working on 10.5 machines. There was a clash happening from when we first ran network homes in 2005/6. I deleted everyone's Firefox profiles en-mass which has fixed the problem.

One dead iMac has been boxed up ready to send back for replacement.

I've also re-written the job description and advert for a new technician, but with a web editor focus. Hopefully this will be approved so we can interview quickly.

The other tech has fixed ALL the Mac printing and ordered £2000 of consumables stock for the new term.

Web tech has nearly finished the new website and also helped work on the new job ad.
