Wed, May 20, 2009 -- Final Group Game has been acknowledged, if I heard from the POC

Hello Gamers -
I have now "reply all" to each of the Point of Contact (POC) for the teams who notified me that their group game was uploaded to their H: drive (with the directory name)

If you did not get a reply, then your POC did not cc: you on the notice to me, so contact your POC to ensure your codes have been received.

ITS (Instructional Technology Services) would really like your feedback on how well AH1112 served you and request your feedback on their survey

Have a great summer - and remember - grades are due from me to the University by 11pm 26May2009.

I sure enjoyed your groups games yesterday! Congrats!

Mon, May 18, 2009 -- GMCS425 - Status - Please give Machine Name if reporting an issue

Hello Gamers -
Friday I was able to reset our PCs in GMCS 425 and network was fine. I came in this morning and PC 25 was fine, but I heard from a student that "none of the systems" were working. So, after a trip downstairs to check, found that most of the systems had lost their network settings.

Please note, each machine has a label at the top/front of the monitor with its name:

COSCSGM425PC## (## = 23,25,26,27,28,29,30)

If you find an issue with a system, please let me know which one is at fault. Thanks

Mon, May 18, 2009 -- Final Presentation Tues 3:30pm; and OH 10a-3p

Hello CS 596 students -
I will be holding office hours tomorrow from 10am until 3pm in my faculty office, GMCS 535. Please drop by if you have any questions before the groups present their final game tomorrow starting at 3:30pm in AH1112.

Also, do not forget that each group POC is expected to place their group final game codes on their H: drive associated with your class account, cs596a2##, along with the final documentation by midnight tomorrow. You should use a Folder name that is easily identifiable as your group final game, such as FinalGame.

I am on campus today trying to update the drivers for the Intel G33 graphics hardware in the GMCS 425 lab and work with students in my other class.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow

Fri, Mar 27, 2009 -- Power shut down EBA - affects network & more over this weekend
Hello Gamers -
I left folks know in class yesterday, that the campus plans an update of the power systems in the EBA machine room, which impacts that campus routers, network, blackboard and such. For our class, this also directly affects our file server (cathouse) which you access as your H: drive for class using Remote Desktop Connection.

Assuming the power upgrade goes smoothly, the file system will not be turned back on until Monday morning.

I expect to be working with Bob Hilchey, our system adminstration for the games class next week to set up the Xbox 360s in the GMCS 425 lab.

Note: the GMCS 425 lab will be closed over spring break for general usage. The class file server (cathouse which you reach using edcenter1.sdsu.edu) will be available starting Monday (30Mar2009)

Have a good spring break!
