What did you learn today or this week that you're most excited about?
I learned about the RT system on how to request tickets. I was shown how to use mail and how to submit reflections. What I am excited most about is working with the project called heartbeat it looks very interesting. I wanted to learn a few things while I'm helping with heartbeat. What I'm excited about this week most is learning while helping others here.

What did you do that you are most proud of?
This week what I'm most proud of is that I helped do updates on all the computers. Mostly the macs and windows based PCs that needed updates.
Comments: Thanks! -James Williams Zavada
What have you heard about that you are hoping to learn more of?
What I have heard about and wish to learn more is scripts and commands in non-GUI environments. I wish to learn more of this because it is very important to being a sysadmin.I want to learn some more from Jym when working on the heartbeat project. I wish to learn some from the class Trey and Neil are going to be teaching.
Comments: Keep that attitude! A good sysadmin is always learning something, either to improve a skill or learning a new one. -James Williams Zavada
Who (among Shodor staff and your peers) helped you the most? How did they help you?
Trey helped this week by showing me this week with the by showing me how to take tickets in the request tracker and filter searches in it to make finding open tickets simple. Trey showed me how to use the Shodor email and how to submit a reflection. Neil was showing me different components on the freezes on the heartbeat project yesterday. Jym showed me around Shodor and introduced me to everyone. Jym told me of a few good references I'm going pick up for reading at my local library for reference.

Who did you help? How did you help them?
I helped by finding a fix for iChat so I can use the jabber account for work I showed this fix to Trey. I helped Trey update all computers in Shodor.
Comments: You may want to document your fix so that others can benefit too. All in all, good work! -James Williams Zavada
