Things to Do

• Java Applets -- AKA Brett's Room 101

• Determine if the 109 Fourier Applet Software can be compiled into a working executable.
• Correct the 208 Moodle page to use the new versions of the Optics4 Java Applets (Mark R.)
• Correct the partition problem with clonezilla to allow use of the large drive.
• Find a single Java version that works for all instructional applets and applications
  • Remove all other Java versions and install only that version
  • Disable automatic updating
  • Identify a version that will work with chrome (32-bit)
• Update UCS 30 software to latest version on advanced lab image and remove old software (Warning: as with all problematic software, this has a Java dependency)
