Day Ninety Nine


We've netbooted the entire world.

Ok, not quite, but there are only a handful of machines left to do! This includes a few iMac G4 machines which do not boot from the network without dying. They share the same GeForce 2MX video chipsets as the G4 towers which would not boot either. I aim to get the new IT technician to install these via CD when he joins us next week. Everything seems to work properly, connect to home folders, authenticate against Active Directory and get managed preferences. Good times.

The digital signage systems have also been reinstalled. I have the school logos running on them with transitions to help stop burn in. I wish someone would give us some content for the damn screens!

Ran out of time to get any Video on Demand up. I'm going to try and do a load on Monday in between going to a 2 hour training talk on fire safety, and, training the new IT technician.

Still need to find out who thinks I'm rubbish at my job...
