Lion Gate labs roof |
AC reported that the roof could now be renewed without having to clear the lab. He will agree details with Estates. | ||
Mouse buttons |
SB reported that a fix for the mouse button problem had been identified. It involved resetting users' settings on login. It was agreed to implement this for all CAM students. | SB | Solved. |
Research PCs |
SB reported that some new machines had been purchased by CT that had not been set up correctly for the network (nor, presumably, electrically tested). EK to contact HoDs regarding departmental purchases. | EK | Still to do, but procedure being drafted. Will include delivery to Faculty Stores in order to get electrical testing done. |
Visual Studio |
SB reported a problem that if a VS6 project was read into VS.NET (or vice versa), the project would be trashed. This means it is undesirable to have both installed on the same machines (which would in any case take up 15GB of space). This was making timetabling difficult. It was agreed that we should support only VS.NET from next academic year. SB to consult further (including with timetablers). |
SB | Sorted provided that users click on the NAL icon, rather than the project file. |
