Week 15

The first day of school after winter vacation was far less hectic than I had imagined it would be. The first half of the day was spent updating the Macintosh computers around the school. While most updated fine a few computers failed to even finish a search for the desired updates, we had to leave them as they were but it was not a big deal overall. The one unique case was was a computer would only permit the authentication for updates with the user name CTAP. This in itself was not so strange as the fact that it did not accept the designated password for this user name, since I personally am not as well acquainted with certain aspects of Macintosh servers as I should be I was unable to fix it at the time and so saved it for later as well.

After the updates were finished Ms. Ratto's class came in and used Type to Learn, a point of interest is that I had been out of the classroom and one of the students had not been able to log on even with the teacher's help. Despite all his information being correct (from what I had found at least) he had not been able to log on, the problem, as it turned out, was the caps lock had been on and we had just frittered away 10 minutes which made everyone feel a bit foolish.
