The last few days at BESD have been interesting. On Monday, I shadowed one of the techs and we went around to the various elementary schools and solved tickets at each one. Our day was mostly spent fixing a broken TV and fixing printers. This was the day that my hatred for printers was cemented.

Yesterday, we shadowed the techs again but this time at the high school. Nothing too exciting this day, some more printer problems and a couple projector problems. After lunch the school had run out of IP addresses on the network so I spent most of the second half of the day turning off computers around campus and communicating with the other techs when I did so they could release the IP and grab it on a different device. Overall it was a pretty boring day, but it made for a nice little break.

Today at BESD for the first half of the day I shadowed some more at the elementary schools. It was standardized testing day so a lot of the teachers were stressed out and the testing software that the state gives the schools is broken garbage. The sound would cut out of a lot of headphones during the test so students had to pause and restart the program. After lunch I mounted a TV in a classroom and spent about 2 hours moving a pc in a classroom from the corner of the room to the teachers deck to make it a teacher workstation. A lot of walking today and now I am pooped.

Ah, our first day out in the field. We finished wiring all of the Chromebooks to the charging stations. After we finished doing that we learned how to replace the filter in a projector, something I have never worked with before. It was pretty neat to learn something I guess I had never really thought about before. After lunch we went out to service our first ticket which was just a broken computer. after troubleshooting the computer for an hour or two we decided that it was most likely a faulty power supply or cpu so we then moved the hard drive from the broken computer into a new one and I went back to the classroom and replaced it. It was a pretty good day overall and I look forward to more days like this.

Today at BESD I labeled the final 50 Chromebooks and entered them into the Google database. Tomorrow we will wire the last bunch of them into the charging stations and hopefully go out into the field for the first time. I'm pretty excited for that.

I've missed posting on here a couple times. So far I have still been setting up the Chromebooks, unboxing more, labeling them, connecting them to a charging station. Today I spent 8 hours doing cable management. Hopefully I will have some exciting updates when I get to use a computer.

Today at BESD I was given a tour of the building and unpacked 144 Chromebooks. After unpacking them I assigned them ID numbers and put ID stickers on them. After that I added the Chromebooks to the database at the school. It was a pretty simple first day, not too exciting.
