I wanted to start off the new phase of this weblog with more tech and I promise that will be the case. I had pushed everyone to get some of the smaller projects out of the way as to concentrate on the new Media Center systems but it still looks as if I will not get them done before the start of the school year. I am beginning to order the furniture but I still can't seem to get the PO's out of the business office for the live of me. I was ok with last year's orders but have not been able to get the 05 orders pushed through. I realize that we are down to one person processing the requests but that isn't my fault and it is setting back the work quite a bit. There was talk of putting another person on for the remainder of the summer but I don't know what happened to that prospect. I have already passed the drop dead date for the furniture off the GSA contract to reach us in time. I needed about six weeks lead time to get things started especially on the fitted furniture. Those orders should have been out two weeks ago. So much for progress.
I spent most of the weekend getting ready for the two biggest weeks of the summer work schedules and what I have found out is that I am slightly behind where I thought I would be at the end of this week. I imagine that the work will have to continue at Chartertech this week. I will Jonathan mounting the projectors as well as some of the screens for the next eight rooms that we will be doing. He is basically finished the maintenance level for the entire building except for the TV studio and some of the Animation machines. We also have some work to do in the Theatre Arts center as well. I should have the first twenty-five machines set up next week as well. The workstations are performing as we thought they would. The speed and processing power are acceptable. What I really needed was a good solid Internet presence for each classroom. I thought that this would be a more simpler summer that previously but no such luck. I will post again on Monday night so that a full update will be possible including some work on the Electrical project at Galloway.
