Better News:

Facilities went ahead and mounted our last node on B2 (further down in
front of Littlejohn) due to increased pressure from certain people within
their department. B2 is now up, w/ IP camera accessible and calibrated.

We were not able to change it to B47 or B48 b/c both require a
transformer, thus new brackets to be made + painting. With a home football
game, paint shop is booked for at least a week, and the guy making
brackets is on vacation next week. Thus, we decided to stick to B2.

Thus - all of *our* mounting is finished- Dr. Birchfield's router node
will be mounted on Monday. None of us need to be there for that.


B4 still has problems - we're not sure why yet. It has power, but the PC
and IP camera are not responding. Also, PTZ is not accessible, which when
working correctly only needs to be connected to the router to work. So
we're thinking maybe there was rain damage or became unplugged somehow,
not really sure. Thus, early next week we're going to get Facilities'
ladder and get up there to see if we can figure out what's up.
