              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We had pretty overcast skies when I arrived tonight.  By sunset it was still overcast but thinner.  Observer was doing cals, so not a big rush under marginal conditions.
Again tonight NICFPS was not working.  Probably still issues from last nights PR I would assume as I cannot access the NICFPS computer via the normal remote method.  Tracey has moved some things around in the computer room and I am not sure how exactly to access NICFPS directly from the KVM switch anymore.  I will just leave it for him to get the machine back up and in working order since it is not in use for the next few nights.
No problems tonight.
