Work Log: Tues, May 31

8:30
Arrived.  First task: move some equipment onto a powered cart.
at 8:43, all five laptops were wired to the hub.
Lessons learned: I put things down and needed to spend time looking for them.  If I pick something up, put it in place or back.

8:45
Intent to test sugar on laptops displayed.  Schoolserver?
Matt will be asked many questions.   He will be in at 10:00.
9:45
Researching SchoolServer (XS).  When Matt Gallagher gets here, work may accelerate.
10:45
Fixed Carlos's site; the CSS validation link needs to be changed from check/referrer to check?profile=css3&uri=referer. 
Matt Gallagher arrived.
11:15
I shall be setting up a simpler, more updated, schoolserver than XS.  From scratch.  While documenting.
Physical machine obtained.
12:15
Setting up server - encountering error.  Memtesting, shall try using only one controller.
1:30
Returned from lunch.  Update from 12:15 -- tried using another machine, but it turns out that the disk was incorrect.  Downloading the iso and will test it against known sum.
Will test disks against their sums in future before moving hardware.
1:45
Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso: OK     I like that line of output.  I'm going to burn the image to disk and start again.

This disk encountered the same error.  Checking the disk's sum.  If it's different from the image's sum, then there may be something wrong with my ROM.  If it's the same, then there is something wrong with a board, or it expects to boot a CD, etc. Checksum failed. Writing slower.

2:30
 Image written.  Checking sum first.

3:15
Future: Set up virtualbox and document procedures.
3:55
Log close, work cease.
