Day Forty Three


The stupid NAS box is STILL formatting.

Today I worked on the Wiki, updating the documentation for the backup and servers mainly. I also completely reconfigured the hard disks on Supserstore, set up new RAID, reinstalled Server 2003 and called it Budgens (it's like a superstore, only more expensive to shop at, and doesn't hold everything you really want). I'm waiting for 2 more 250GB drives to arrive, then it's going to be two iMacs in media backing up to each of the 4 drives. Bosh.

Reinstalled Censornet today, too. It works. Just have to add all the machines in. For some reason, importin a CSV file of MAC addresses and machines does not work, at all. Changed line endings, changed format of the MAC...won't work! Once this is all done, we can ban kids' Internet access, as well as turn off access for whole rooms. Those pesky kids will be pwned.

The Data Manger guy came in today to ask if was ok for staff to use our Windows Terminal Server through remote access for data entry. I said it should be fine - it's a beefy machine and entry is only though Internet Explorer.

No one rang up with issues in the new IT room.......is it true that deleting ~/Library will fix it?
