Friday we needed to finish off the computers that needed to be donated to the ARC of Monroe. I worked in the morning and some of the afternoon developing modem connections that would allow the new users to get online where the computers will next be located. We came across some issues with one of the computers, but eventually got the connection to work. After speeding up the refresh frequency for each of the monitors, I was FINALLY done with these two donations! It is nice to be completed finished with a project that I did generally on my own (although I needed help every day with one thing or another).
Now for the really, really cool part of Friday. In the morning Bob Callens brought me down to the dark rooms, where I mixed a bunch of chemicals in water to create three different solutions, that would all be used to make holograms for visitors the next day. Also, we transferred photosensitive plates to new cases in the dark. This was neat, since I saw how important it is for light to not reach certain devices. I hope to do something like this again in the future, since it reconfirmed my interest in the chemistry arena of science.
