Atty. Mac's Printer

Replaced ink cartridge with the one from Liza's busted BJC-2000SP.

Spent about an hour troubleshooting it.

Ruth's PC
Topic: work
After several weeks and several instances of hangs, I decided to change the CPU fan, and asked Ruth to obsserve it.

I hope it's not the motherboard that's causing the fan to shutdown.

Spent about 15 to 20 minutes all-in-all, including hunting down a replacement fan.

MetThinkPad
Topic: work
Finally finished reinstalling it (except Metermate, etc.). Installed OpenOffice after the OS, plus WinPM.Net. It took 3 working days because of the OS Patches, and I was working on something else while reinstalling, so there were several times when something's finished and just waiting for user confirmation/input but I wouldn't see it immediately because of my other task.

VBDP
Topic: work
Learning DB Programming in V B is fun!

I've asked some students from a local university about their CS thesis and they provided me with their "topic" and now I've been developing it myself, based on their very RAW and INCOMPLETE prototype.

Because of their help, my learning DBPVB has been placed on a fast track and I can now say that I am confident enough to do DBP in V B., although I still have a lot to learn (mostly the finer points and performance tweaking, plus customization and code reuse).

Have been enjoying myself thoroughly in this that I've missed posting entries in this, my work blog, for the past few weeks. :-)

i-Solv update
Topic: i-Solv Project
Our meeting last Jan. 31, 2005 would be the last before they deploy their first "real" SFE-based prototype on Saturday, Feb. 12.

This is because I've asked them to prioritize the consumer management module so we can test the migration of the customer master file before we proceed to the parallel run.
