July 16-20

Monday - Worked in office, taking care of presenters, meeting regarding various building-related issues, etc. Had to move my Genoa visit to Tuesday.

Tuesday - Went to genoa to help them set up their NAS.  the NAS itself was already configured, so I ran the iSCSI initiator in Server 2008 to connect the NAS. After a bit of trial and error, I got it going. The short version of the story is this: expand your columns in a display when possible. The end of the volume names was cut off because of the column width. Once I fixed that, I could see which volume to mount.  The next lesson was this: DELETE existing files rather than reformatting the NAS drive. UGH. 500GB takes a LONG time to format via NAS.

Wednesday - I taught Podcasting Using a Mac in the morning and then Social Networking for Schools in the afternnon.  One of the highlights: one participant created his podcast by simply recording another participant as she did her own project. Brilliantly creative. Though, would have failed a rubric assessment had there been one.

Thursday - Talked with DirecTV about getting service. Still working on that. Had firewall issues. Fortinet is sending RMA (and hopefully a new unit to swap out). Worked with the HVAC guys on a problem unit we have. They will be here on the 25 to adjust the tilt of the unit.

Friday - Offices Closed.
