RAJE1 PC
Mood:
irritated
Topic: work
RAJE personnel transferred to the newly renovated (but still lightless) room.
In the process, they managed to pull out 2 internal wires from the serial cable for Psion handheld computers.
So I fixed the cable and reinforced it, but couldn't test it because their "upload/download" PC wouldn't boot.
I tried every conceivable thing, to no avail. I tried changing power supplies, RAM, reseating cards, etc. I tried OTHER computers, but none of them won't boot.
In the end, I tried Avern's computer (from Accounting Section). I turned it off and brought it down to the RAJE room. It wouldn't boot! That's when I tested the output voltage of the AVR used on that station, and voila! Alvin Capulong plugged the two (2) PC's into the 110v socket, so that's why the old "upload/download" PC wouldn't boot! Who would've thought, when one computer was perfectly working using the same socket? :-(
In the end, the "upload/download" PC's Hard disk failed to boot. Good thing I configured 2 other HD's for the same PC.
Whew! Took me 3 hours and 43 minutes for that job!
Alvin better not show me his face tomorrow.

Atty. Macalino's PC
Mood:
chatty
Topic: work
Liza called me to tell me that Atty. Mac's PC wouldn't switch on.
I thought there was trouble, but I discovered the UPS was *NOT switched on*. So how can the PC boot if there's no power from the UPS? :-)
That was fast, less than 5 minutes.

Resoldered and reinforced one end of the Psion cable. They keep pulling it by the cord!
Spent half an hour fixing it.

Boss Babes' request
Mood:
rushed
Topic: work
Whew! My hands are aching from editing the scanned document. I had to type several paragraphs in, because the OCR didn't quite get the text correctly.
It's now 5:20pm, about 3 1/2 hours after starting the scans. :-(
I forgot to burn the Saturday backups because of this rush job. :-(
I'll just burn the Main Office copy and bring it home.

Boss Babes' request
Mood:
chillin'
Topic: work
Liza told me that Boss Babes wanted to have a document scanned and OCR-processed so he can e-mail it to other people.
I started at around 1:20pm. First I installed the ScanJet on his PC, then the software/drivers.
Finished scanning <40 pages at 2:45pm.
Now starting to check the OCR's work. :-)

Nimfa's Computer
Mood: caffeinated
Now Playing: Sideshow - The Spinners
Topic: work
Replaced the LAN card today and cleaned the casing. While waiting for a station to become free for my use, I printed Board meeting reports and gave them to Liza.
After printing, I delivered Nimfa's PC to her station and configured its Network card, TCP/IP settings, etc.
Housecall found KLEZ in 3 or 4 folders and I deleted all the files.
Started SP2 install at around 12noon. Finished at 12:40pm, after a few aborted tries at Windows Update Custom install. :-(
Had lunch until 1:15pm-ish.
