From bmurray at snf.stanford.edu Fri Nov 2 10:57:46 2001 From: bmurray at snf.stanford.edu (Bill Murray) Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:57:46 -0800 (PST) Subject: evaligner problem Message-ID: John, Mahnaz came begging Mike and me to look at the Windows 95 box attached to the evaligner. She claims they are having problems with the hard disk in the machine. Apparently, Mike Martinez ran scandisk to attempt to resolve the problem, and the machine is now hung. I told her that Mike and I were both coding all day to meet a deadline today. I told her I would speak to you. Do you want Mike or me to stop coding and look at this today or can it wait until Monday?

Well since no one of import complained Mary T. asked me what we should do next. I suggested turning the machines off for a while, checking with John to see if he knew of any reason they needed to kept, and then giving them to Tony to dispose of. I don't plan to be further involved unless you want me to. Nancy has given me a list of mice that need to be replaced in the lab on sunrays. I'll try to round up a few and swap them out. I'll also try to order a few to have on hand. I'll of course try to clean the ones in the lab as well. Nancy L. and others (Mahnaz, maint guys etc.) are avoiding the use of the computer at .... list and "grabbing" us instead. When I suggest that they do need to use the list they comment that it's a waste ot time and get a bit upset. Well, in fact, I don't have a huge problem with this and it may mean that the list is serving it's purpose by deterring nuisance problems. I think the company line still needs to be no email, no problem. Otherwise when I insist an email be sent, I'm the bad guy. I'll send one to the list on the mice today for Nancy and CC her, next time I'll insist a message be sent. In another Mahnaz - the sky is falling incident, a PC the lab was taking a long time to run a scandisk. I did talk to Mike M. about it, but the bottom line is yea a surface scan can take hours. My suggestion would be for one for the Maint. guys to be sent to class for NT and for a policy be made clear for the Maint. area. John had a great point that over time most of the equipment in the lab will run off PCs so they really are going to need the expertise. I showed Len how to move his email off the server and onto his local hard drive (per his request) in an effort to free up a bit of space. Basically all you do is drag the folder from the top area to the local mail area which copies all the files. Then you can delete the top. Might we consider not allowing people to keep messages on the system except when necessary and setting up (PCs) as pop3 accounts in the future? I also sent out email to smoe of the real problem kids - email is down a bit, but and this is Bill's point - without a policy to manage it, disk quotes etc., the problem will not go away. Although, the new server has lots more space!

I'll try to clean them or swap them out today. I did let Nancy know that these are exactly the sort of issues we plan to handle expeditiously via the computer at snf.. list.

Message-ID: <3BF1C487.E9DC5FC1@snf.stanford.edu> Hi guys -- We've talked about this for a long time. I think we're finally ready... When can we: 1. In the lab: move the Coral terminal from between the wbnitride and wbmetal stations to the other side of the aisle (next to the gasonics?) We would like to (for now) use the space between the wet stations for a safety shelf/organizer (which has just arrived!) 2. In the CAD room: - Remove the Macs - Remove the HP - Remove Ysabel and Mort (actually Jason Conroy wants them -- I assume that he can arrange with Tony for the property tag transfer?) - Move the Coral terminal to the right side (I'm hoping that with the Mac and the HP moving, there should be plenty of room....) Several of us will gladly help out -- but we'll need to plan when and how. I'm also not sure what to do with any paperwork that probably has to be filled out... Just wanted to lay this out on the table... What do you think? Mary -- Mary X.

Message-ID: <3C0518AF.D2774558@snf.stanford.edu> Hello Computer at snf -- Could I bother you guys about two Coral terminals? One is located in the CAD room -- in preparation for installing shelving for lab storage, I was hoping we could move this to the other side of the room, where it can be friendly with all the other computers. There are a couple of empty (well, temporarily occupied by monitors-to-be-surplused) tables there, either of which could serve as new homes. Also, there was a request to separate the two SUN workstations, so that they are not side-by-side. Can I just shut one off and move it over? Or are there some other nurturing acts required? Finally, there is a Sony trinitron monitor located where the old HP used to reside -- I found it on the floor next to the Coral terminal, but don't recall that it belonged to any system in that room -- do you know anything about this? (I put a "surplus?" sign on it.) The second Coral terminal is located between wbnitride and wbmetal in the lab. We would like to put a chemical safety supply rack there. Mahnaz says that she spoke with you fellows some time ago about moving this Coral terminal to the opposite side of the aisle, so that we could make room for this. I see now, however, that the table housing the Coral terminal will probably not easily fit on the other side -- I could probably dig up a nice little wire rack that might do, if this is OK with you.... Anyway, I know you guys are busy -- but if you tell me how I can manage these moves without risking damage, I could take care of them... Thanks, Mary -- Mary X.
