Larry stopped by today and had to disconnect the m25 machine (this is the 1st GC machine on the left as you walk into the control room) because its IP
was conflicting with a machine over in Downs. Do not use 131.215.115.125 as the IP on this machine as this is already assigned to someone else.

Fri Mar 15 16:46:52 2013, Jenne, Bureaucracy, Auxiliary locking, Yend table upgrade - fast track?
|
In light of the Yend auxiliary laser's ill health, I think we should reconsider the possibility of changing out the Yend laser table next week.
My thinking here is that if whatever the new mode matching solution is for a replacement laser (Tara has borrowed our spare NPRO that used to sit
on top of the fridge, or we could take Annalisa's) requires a rework of the table layout, we might as well put the new layout onto the new table. |

Mon Mar 18 12:23:25 2013, Jenne, Bureaucracy, Auxiliary locking, Yend table upgrade - go fetch NPRO from ATF

Zach has just replied, and said that we should feel free to take the laser
from his iodine setup in the West Bridge subbasement, in the ATF lab.
Annalisa, please ask Koji or Tara to show you where it is, and help you bring it to the 40m. |
