What did you do that you are most proud of?
While testing network connections I found that the Macbook "Breaker" was having issues connecting after tests I found it might have a bad network port. Checked on the status of football(new Xen server) it is having issues with the dns though it's I can still connect to the server via ip. Updated the classroom Macbooks with the 1.5 gig 10.7.5 update.

Who (among Shodor staff and your peers) helped you the most? How did they help you?
Tyler helped me take out recycling and carry a table into the classroom. Trey helped me turned on one of the network floor ports(121) in the server room for one of the classroom desks connections.

Who did you help? How did you help them?
Setup the classroom for Ernie moved the tables to better seat the students. Kristen asked me about wanting to use mac mail on her staff Macbook I warned her that it was removed from the imaging process since it was having crashing issues. I told her I could place it on her Macbook if she wanted. I went to install the pkg for the mail program from the lion install cd and to be able to launch the program properly would need to update mail program since the OS is 10.7.5 and the mail program is for 10.7 it won't launch and since the program was installed from the cd the software update is not seeing updates for the program or rather not seeing the program. So the Options are one doing a fresh install on the Macbook or finding a way around this. Kristen said it wasn't that big a deal but would rather not use Thunderbird.
