Day Fifty One


Migrating my work to my shiny new iMac did not work, so I wiped it, set it up fresh, and copied my stuff manually. The Other Tech noticed we were short of staff emails accounts, so he cleared a few old ones out, and I checked the staff home server and cleared out 35GB of dead files.

We both went to the other site and removed some redundant PCs from the library, then moved those and a pile of redundant CRT screens in to storage ready for disposal. Moving infinite amounts of retro IT equipment never gets old....

Tried to service 4 old UPSs today. We have two large ones with dead batteries - 1 clicks and one does nothing. Another smaller one which does nothing, and an even smaller one that does nothing. I've decided to bin the 2 small ones - we have a working one in stock which hasn't been used, and I'd rather get the larger units running than spend money on the little ones which aren't too useful.

Set up the art technician's Mac to be network based, rather than portable as the issues associated by syncing weren't outweighed by the negligable performance decrease of working on the network.

Finally, it is a sad day...the Quadra 950 is destined for the skip.
