Fun times

In order to get paid for being Campus Technologist, I have to get the computer inventory done.  No inventory no check for tech.  <smile>

The good news, is that most of the people in the building are helping.  The inventory is done yearly, so I could give each person their last yours inventory so it’s a matter of checking the inventory and making additions and deletions.

At the same time, I’m getting new equipment.  Yeah — great timing.  I’ll find out when on December 2.  So I have to arrange the lab for new equipment.  The rules are no daisy chaining of power supplies.  I’ve had a pod of 10 computers in the center of the room forever, BUT it violates those rules and has since the initial install.  Several years ago, new drops were put in, but they aren’t that convenient to place.  I’ve got a really long narrow room.

So the old seating chart looked like this:

Now it is going to look like this:

I have to put a storage area in the center because:

a) there are some drops imbedded in the floor there from "Round 2" of wiring the lab.

b) My room is currently the home of all the dead equipment in the building.  I am hoping that I’ll get it moved out before the new computers come.

That stuff will all be under some tables I’m using for lunches, time outs, etc.
