Cameras

We have reinstalled a camera server.  We try to minimize the down time and luckily the server that needed rebuild was our smaller server with only 15 cameras on it.  We installed the newest version of the Pelco DS software.  The install was fast and easy to get installed.

Timeclock

Found an interesting situation with the time clock where a student could not login to manage his account.  He would get a generic error message.  He could log in to his Portal account and into his windows account.  I had him reset his password and again, he could only access his Portal and windows accounts.  Searching through the code for that application I found where his error was, but it was not making obvious why it was running into the section of code it was in.  Finally I was able to track down the username the student was using was capitalized and would not work as the system is case sensitive.  I tends to be simple problems and simple solutions, but this one took me a few hours to find.

Times are CRAZY!

Well in the passed few weeks we have had a lot going on.

Residential Computing Lab

The Landers Computer lab has moved to the ground floor of Valsetz on the north side.  We have also changed the name to Residential Computing Lab.  Along with the move of the lab came my office.  I was previously the RHA office.  Being centrally located will help students find us and we expect more usage as a result.  Our hours have also expanded to match the R.S.C. M-F 8am – 11pm Sat-Sun 12pm – 11pm.
