Sun - Week Twenty-three

Monday starts considerably well seeing as Paul is out this week. Tom is also on a course so we are two people down. I spent a large part of the morning over in GMP02 looking at some machines which were overheating. The A/C seems to have gone wrong over there and the machines are suffering. After I fixed some machines temporally I came back over to the office and it was almost lunch time. After lunch I went down to the lab to look at connecting up a couple of systems. It wasn’t especially complicated, but it took me a while as I needed to install some extra cards and whatnot.
