BW June 2014

My first day was Tuesday, June 3. I mopped the floor in both labs.

In the first week of June I worked on updating software on the computers in both labs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector. The computer john.phys.uconn.edu did not need software updates, but I updated software on Hermes and on the computer next to the printer.

The computer in lab 405 presented more difficulties, with 16 programs insecure or at end of life. I updated Wireshark and Adobe Reader, but only one Microsoft update would install. Two others were downloaded but not installed. The Microsoft Office suite is at end of life, and other programs such as Silverlight have a link in the PSI to Microsoft Update but have not yet received updates.

My other tasks this week included discarding computer components and pieces of wood. I put the things to be discarded on carts and brought them down to the ground floor. I also tore up an old poster and put it in the trash and cleaned grimy tables in lab 403.
