Broadband Success!

October 21st, 2009 · No Comments · District 62 Updates

In case you haven’t heard, our transition to AT&T’s fiber optic opt-e-man network was successful. Currently the Admin Building & Algonquin are up and running. We are confidant that the whole district will be switched over by Thanksgiving.
We are experiencing a real increase in speed, resources that were not open to us before are now available, and we can download… stream, you name it! This is exciting.

Sonoma Underground

Sonoma Underground,
originally uploaded by sethbowers.

I shot this pic the last week of September with my iPhone. I am standing in the administration parking lot and Forest Elementary is in the background. In the foreground are workers from Sonoma underground. They are boring underground to install conduit for our new fiber-optic network. We are still on target for a 2009 install!

Wiki.com – Google Type Search for Wikis

September 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Tech Tips

Wiki.com is very cool. Think of it as Google for wikis. The site let’s you choose to search all wikis, just Wikipedia, all "indie" wikis, or just encyclopedia style wikis.

National Do Not Call Registry

September 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Since the FCC has just put the kibosh on telemarketing robocalls (see New York Times article) I thought it might be helpful to post a link to the National Do Not Registry for all kinds of unsolicited telemarketing.

If you want to call to sign up for the Do Not Call registry the number is 1-888-382-1222.

To register online or to register multiple numbers at once head to www.donotcall.gov.

For more information about cell phones head to the Federal Trade Commission’s page here.

And yes, I’ve registered!
