Computer Information Updates

Did you receive the information I send to you? Malone

Pastor Malone,

Yep we received the information on the monitors. Thanks for getting back to us. We look forward to meeting up with you again this weekend.

Hey all,

I’m about to leave the dungeon (there’s been no one here and I’m not sure I’m supposed to be, but oh well  ). Here’s what’s going on…

1) I finished the Big Bird install (Open Office, Adobe, and the Printer) so if we have time we can put it back in the Big Bird Compaq (I laid it inside Big Bird for now).

2) I worked some on the Wiki while programs are installing. It’s in its baby stages though, so feel free if anyone else has time to work on it.

3) I put Zoey back together, connecting the hard drive and what not. And this is where the problems intensified . I tried multiple avenues of connection and reconnection and restarting and kept getting the “media test failure, operating system not found” message. But I have to get going (plus, I think this place technically closes in a few minutes  ); I’ll work on it again tomorrow evening.

On the other hand, I could try to swing and hour (maybe around 10:30) or 90 minutes or so before work tomorrow if anyone else is going in. It might not be as crowded in the morning. Let me know; otherwise, I’ll see you all tomorrow night. I think we can get quite a bit done (there’s my optimism for you  ).

Hi crew,

Zoey is up and working (Just for the record, the boot order needed to be changed to boot first from the hard drive, and also the ribbon cable was not snugged properly onto the motherboard – that was probably why it was indicating “media test failure, check cables” – so it was not reading from the hard drive). Anyway, I’m so happy we got her working again.

I am in the midst of downloading bible software onto her, and will finish when I go back in at 4 today. I checked No-face and it seems as if he has a network card, hopefully he also has a driver.

As of now we have 5 computers that are ready to be set up into the network, so I have this on the agenda tonight, in order of priority:

1)Finish downloading software onto Zoey.
2)Ping the 5 working computers (Telly, Grover, Elmo, Oscar and Zoey) and get them all networked
3)Investigate No-face – if he has a driver, great, start downloading softare onto him, if he doesn’t have a driver move to step 4
4)Find network cards and/or drivers for the remaining computers as best we can
5)Download software onto successful products of step 4 and hook them up to the network

What do you all think?

I’ll be in at 4, and am going to work until we get kicked out.
