Not so timely eh?
I have just returned from a week of
camping near Colorado Springs and am now getting back into the
swing of things as we begin the push to the start of a new term. It
will be different this time, as I will not have the help of Brian
who was always a big help with the computing here in the
department.
I am working on rolling out the new computing website. It will have a lot more information that the previous site. It will also include a sign up proceedure for requesting Bastion Host accounts here at the NWC. I have a couple of machines in the Linux lab that are not working as they should and they will be in the queue for repairs next week. I also have a couple of new servers for both faculty and the department that I need to get installed and running. I have having serious issues with one and the update of the software. Seems that the RAID controler drivers are not part of the usual ones and the new kernel will not boot. So now I will be needing to track down that problem.
I now have a bit more control over the intro labs and will assist with the upper division synoptic lab this coming academic year. So I will be spending some time with the labs of previous years/sections and compiling a hopefullly more orginized set of labs. I am wanting to create a good set of labs that will introduce many of the the meteorological concepts as well as computing skills to make it easier on students as they move through the program.
