What did you do that you are most proud of?

Jabber server had a new update from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2 before updating I tested it, since the java memory is working I didn't want to "throw a stick in it" with a new update and make sure everything works. Setup xcode for the student accounts in the classroom.

What have you heard about that you are hoping to learn more of?

Dr. Panoff said that main page for shodor.org went down for a mins checked netstat while Joel went though logs to see if a commands caused the processes to peak at 100 i doubt it though could be possible. Phillip asked for help teaching IOS xcode classes with iphone, I asked if it would be mostly objective-c, he said I was welcome to help teach, worked a bit with john on it while he was here going to try to learn some more in my off-hours on objective-c and xcode.

Who did you help? How did you help them?

Showed Kara about setting up a .alias under home and linking it to .bash_profile. Joel posted a network problem ticket on rt for the workstations gear and fountain, checked over both workstations was getting dhcp addresses on both and was able to load my home dir on them, no noticeable network problems since using firefox might have been a fluke or maybe the cable was already changed ? Asked Patricia if she was still having problems with her printer she said it was working fine now. Helped Erinie with moving the tables so he could get to the skylights to be able to install the blinds.
