Mozilla Firefox
Topic: work
I'm planning on installing Firefox on all our computers who have internet access, for security.

I've already installed it on my PC, Mike's, Rocky's.

Atty. Macalino's PC
Topic: work
Atty. Macalino approached me while I was busy fixing Dongg's problem, so naturally I proceeded to his workstation upon leaving TSG (Dongg's workstation).

Atty. M. told me his PC turned itself off while he was printing something.

I opened up the case and observed that the motherboard LED is off, so I changed the power supply.

Problem fixed in about 23 minutes.

The thing is, while we were at the TSG, he remarked that I issued him the slowest PC that's why he's been having problems ("ita kasnig mainang diling klasing computer ing binie mu kanaku, ne?").

I felt insulted and told him he shouldn't imitate my detractors who are spoiled by the higher ups and always demand attention like they were the most important people in the world, that he should remember who my father is and what kind of person my father is, which meant that I was a good person myself.



Oh well, as long as I do my job, which incidentally involves ALL computers in the company and not just the TSG's PC's like the people there seem to think...

Dongg's shortcuts
Now Playing: Cool Night
Topic: work
Dongg told me he couldn't use the AM/FM Viewer when he logs in as dongg. When logged on as user "mapping" he can access it. He said Rico already tried to fix it while logged in as Administrator (thru Roland David), to no avail.

Upon creation of a universal desktop shortcut, I realized that the problem was the security settings (access permissions) of the shortcut.

I fixed the other required shortcuts the same way.

I asked Dongg to change his password on the mapping server so he won't be asked for it when attempting to map a network driver while logged into the Samba server.

Spent 35 minutes on this.

Mapping1 PC
Topic: work
Dongg asked me if I've already given them access to the FB directory. I told him I already did, and asked him to browse the network. He said he succeeded on Alvin's computer but not on his PC.

So I went to TSG again and found out that the person who installed SynerGEE changed the IP address and Computer name of the PC!

Had to correct the situation.

Spent around 40 minutes on this problem.

Access to FB
Topic: work
Alvin approached me in the morning to ask for access to the Floridablanca data.

Took me around 20-30 minutes to give access to Alvin and Dongg, plus modify their login scripts to map drive U: to the FB data directory.

Topic: work
Pie's password expired on the mapping server.

Done.

Rocky's PC
Now Playing: You and I (will travel far together...) Shirley Bassey? midi
Topic: work
Rocky complained of the missing autoexec.nt file again.

Spent more than four hours installing SP2 (twice, had to try uninstalling to get rid of the DISAPPEARING autoexec.nt problem.

Found several (84) spyware. I didn't realize immediately that SpyBot wasn't installed on this PC!

Anyway, in the end, I found the last (hopefully) spyware, which was SyncroAd/WinSync and removed it manually in safe mode.

Problem solved. Finally. I hope. :-)
