One Bad day

28 February 2007

· Today when I came to my room (computer labs) in this early morning… I find that the power cannot up, because the power extension that we always use has burn and the switch has broken. Almost of all computer in this room get power from this extension. So this day is become a nightmare because we have nonstop computer class for today. Great…!

· Our driver has go fast to buy new extension, meanwhile I go to the storeroom to find if there is any extension to replace it for a moment.

· First, we pass stingray class (Mr. Dan change it with Math study) then dolphin (but Mr.Bobby do the IT class on their room) … afterthat Sealions do IT in their class with Mr. Bobby.

· We didn’t open the computer labs too, in the snack and lunch time for the kids.

· But why we did it? Because for temporarily, we use the cheap extension cable that I get it from storeroom, until the driver comeback and bring new power extension. This temporary extension has very thin cable that we consider not to use that with more than 2 computers.

· So… how about the driver? The fact is the store still close and its open at 10.00 am, so the driver comeback with nothing. (He go back to the store later…)

· In the lunch time the new power extension coming and I set up it fast, then check all computer integrity… greatly they’re still in good condition also the network connection. Wuih, thanks god!

· After the lunch time Sealions come to using this lab… everything looks good, and we try to use projector and it’s good. Bobby does teaching and I assist him.

· After Sealions go… I take some rest and then do my work again. I finish the job from Mr.Joel and tomorrow… I and Mr. Joel will review the brochure that I have been making.

· That’s all for today and see you tomorrow with a good story. (I hope)

OCR Program in the headache day

27 February 2007

· Check up all computers for today. Nothing’s matter… all computer seems good until…

· Blackouts…. come!! In the early morning, and after that all computer becomes weird especially in connecting to other computer. (network problems)

· I’ll try to check but everything seems good and I restart all computers to gain new connection.

· Finally it’s come on better connection… (the network has back..!). Huh… back to work again.

· Find and work on the document that doesn’t finish yesterday… (the brochure and their friends)

· As usually as, watching and supervising kids in snack and lunch time.

· Mr. Dan comes to me and asks help to download stingray photos on our digital camera. After 2 hours, he came back with another asking, he bring documents. He wants me to scan it with OCR, so we don’t need to retype it again. I said ok… but when I try todo it, the program is seems really new look for me, the results is… I cannot convert to edit the text in the word program… wuih!

· I told to him about that, and he said oke, but with strange face… ( I hate that face). I’ll try to read some helps on that program, finally… after 1 hour, I can do it, and transfer it to word document, so it can be edited next time. huh…!

· After that I take some rest and do my job again until times up...

FYI: Since last night until now, I’ve got headache. It’s become worse when the aircon temperature drop below 20⁰C.

· Well, that’s for today, I must get home fast to take some rest. I wish I can see u tomorrow to make new story. Bye…
