Back from Thanksgiving with some fresh ideas!
I was in Boston, and I saw a neat system in practice that I had been toying with in theory. MythTV is a linux-based DVR, and it can broadcast over the intranet to any connected PC. What a great idea for a school to keep all of their videos/audio so that students could access it at any time. No worrying about who has what dvd or vhs checked out, or if multiple people need it. I suppose united streaming does this to some extent, but this could have anything we want on it.
Spent today showing Steve Elza how to use the Student Inquiry system to look up a person who emailed him wanting work done on their car, and gave no information except their name, and that they had a son who went to Fremd. We used student inquiry to look up the last name, pull up info on the student, and grab the parent's email address. Whew.
