Today I spent some time working on the kiosk machines. It turns out there's some sort of problem with initrd on the SCSI machines and the kernel doesn't seem to want to mount the root filesystem, but complains about it after the fact and before it remounts. Of course it doesn't have any logs at that point, so debugging isn't really practical... :( Lunch was Chipotle - this week finished on a good trend there. Most of the network issues seem to be resolved, although there was one slowness issue we addressed, but we're not sure of the real cause (it was like a saturated link, but it wasn't and the settings were fine). Oh well. Desktop team apparently spent the whole day fixing blaster again. I'm so glad we patched our servers when it first came out... We did get a bit farther on the planning for automatically yanking machines from the network, and I even got that machine started. It was a weird day - I think everyone just wanted the week to be done. I ended up getting 3 boxes today. 2 were full of CDs, and one way oversized box which could have had probably 12 DVDs but had 4 in it. So I spent most of the night listening to music. No response from Epson yet on the projector issue. I did watch 8 Mile though. Good movie, but the language was worse than Analyze This (what do you expect from a story about inner city kids rapping though). The whole room just sorta shook for the whole movie though. Maybe I'll get around to the Axcess stuff this weekend. I'd like to start poking with the projector control a bit and see how that goes... Tomorrow Ross is apparently organizing some huge dinner thing though, so I don't know how much I'll actually get done - we'll see.
