2nd day of classes

Today is the second day of classes. So far it is largely going well, except for some lingering blackboard issues relating to automatic enrollment in classes. Printing is back to its normal in-term volumes. Web usage of myfiles is up, though myweb has stayed mostly flat. All computer labs are up and running.

This also means that project-wise things are really quieting down around here. The first week of classes is always spent mostly on fire watch, so not a lot else gets done. It also means that after-hours, "it's broke, fix it right now," calls are sadly more common. It's amazing how easy it is to get used to not having students around, having them all here suddenly is a bit of a shock.

One amusing note. My boss is in a corner office that looks across the street at an apartment complex that houses a lot of students. He has remarked humorously at the number of wireless access points his laptop picks up. So far, at least 15 are visible.
