KTRU was great today! We have a new phone system; I got to do an EAS (Emergency Alert System) test; and I learned the correct level to use for the microphone.

Most fun of all that is the new phone system. The phones have caller ID (except it doesn't display until after I answer the line (maybe I'll figure out a way around that)) and our new phone number spells KTRU! 713-348-KTRU, which (I also happily announced) spells 713-FIT-KTRU so listeners can fit their schedule to listen to KTRU! Wheee!!!

For the EAS test, I put on a long song called "Standby" which seems somewhat appropriate so I could say "stand by for this test." The song was not made worse having a test in the middle.

And finally, I learned that I need to raise my mic level or my voice is not properly picked up on RealAudio. Thanks to Will, our station manager, for letting me know that!

Between KTRU and work, Wende met me at work with some lovely Taco Bell. She paid for it by returning the glass milk bottles to Kroger for $1 per bottle. Together, we had collected 13 bottles.

In other news, at work today I finally got the third and final machine up and running with Windows NT 4.0 Server! The problem during my first installation attempt: A faulty keyboard. Yup. Remember? I pressed S and it didn't respond at all? That was it.

I'll be exchanging a few parts to the computer place tomorrow.

Oh, and the cool thing about this new server: it is the Primary Domain Controller for our new domain. (Windows NT domain, not Internet domain) We'll be migrating to have 2 separate domains - one public and one private. Nice! :-)

With Love
