First thing when I got in today, I noticed something, I became somewhat sad. On the same computer that I had ubutnu running on, windows vista screen-saver was on the screen. Yeah, it was vista and I knew that would happen since this week is the registration week. I pressed the shutdown button and after it halted, I pressed the power button. And GRUB WAS THERE !! That means they know about it, but switched to windows(at least one knows). It booted in seconds and the desktop was up. I checked the Recent Documents, but it seems that no one have used it

Anyhow, as I mentioned in the last episode, I needed to configure the printers. And my problem was: it lists a lot. I got an idea that would solve it if it works, since it’s listing all the printers connected to the network. If i get the complete list of the printers, disconnect a printer from the network the easy way(disconnect the Ethernet wire), and then refresh the list i should know that one is missing and that is the one. So I first took a screen-shot of the complete list then disconnected one of the two printers. I returned to the PC and re-searched for printers, one was missing as expected. I compared the two lists and got the needed details of the printer. I connected the wire again and configured the printer. And It works! Then I did the same for the second printers Now they both work, see I’m not evil!

But, I haven’t configured the Xerox one, I dunno should i? Cause that could cause trouble if someone decided to print inconvenient stuff through Xerox!

After some time it was prayer time so Q8BKman and I got up and went out. When we returned it was fishy when I saw the PC desktop was still there, it usually switch to screen-saver mode, just like last time! I ignored that and sat down. I had Firefox minimized before I got out, but when I looked it wasn’t in the task-bar, not even one of the running processes. So I knew it was closed; either by a person, which I doubted cause there was only one person in the library and he was far away from “my” PC, or it crashed for some reason. Anyways, I viewed the history to go to the pages I was reading and realized they weren’t the last ones, somebody used the PC before we came back! YAY He/She was doing some stuff on GUST website, typically his gust number was shown since he logged in and didn’t delete the history, but I didn’t take it.

After a while I tried to install Warsow, a fps game, but there was a problem in Qulitynet’s ubuntu archive, checksums didn’t match, and the other servers are too slow! I’ll deal with that later.

So that is what happened today! I really don’t know what to do the next time I go there… maybe install M$ Office 2007 so that the freaks out there don’t freak out when they don’t find M$ office. BTW, ideas are welcomed. But, gee, do you think it’ll live for the next time? and the fact that they are going to put windows 7 on them as Deathgram mentioned… I don’t know! All I know is I’ll continue doing this big favor

This is me doing the "big favor", see workin' all hard! Taken by Q8BKman
