Day One Hundred 'n' Twenty Six


Christmas continues. We've ordered a refurbished laser printer (fun) to help our art department. They currently print drafts of Photoshop work to a LaserJet 1320 printer, which takes an age to output pages due to the size of the document. The new printer is going to be pimped with 400MB RAM, vs 16MB, along with a much faster processor.

I sent of a batch of emails for an information access request. Those things take too long to organise.

Our old Intranet server has been retired by default as our anti-virus server packed up last week, so it's taken over that role. I need to get the AV software installed and updating the school as we're going without updates during the transition to the new server.

We received a new laptop to do network monitoring. However the monitor software is now end of life, so the company won't reset our serial key for the new machine. We've moved to a free alternative. Seems nice but is SLOW over VNC.

Upgraded one computer room to run at 1Gb, network wise. All clients connect in to the network at a gig. Hurrah.

Have a company coming in a couple of days to discuss and spec a big Citrix upgrade for our place. Finally.
