It has been a very busy summer. Below is a summary of what I’ve been up to:
- Improve performance of SKSS/Beattie – setup diskless proxy and adjust software settings to reduce disk-io. Namely Firefox was a killer. Freddie also upgraded the RAID in the high schools.
- Create/test a new multimedia editing image based on Ubuntu Studio.
- Security updates including Upgrades to Moodle.
- Help swap out CRT monitors with LED screens. Going green by reducing power consumption.
- Firefox, flash, java upgrade – plus performance tweaks.
- Upgrade transportation’s server.
- Clean out old accounts and data (YET)
- Create new student and staff accounts for all the school. Currently maintaining 14,760 student accounts and 1,649 staff accounts for computer systems.
- Ensure students and staff have essential desktop icons. Web, Writer, Files ( Zimbra, BCeSIS, Websharp) – make it easy for them.
- Upgrade HGEC network.
- Plus a bunch of small things that I’m too lazy to type out.
