15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll leave just a bit early to go and finish a few things. Been in bed all day....Otherwise we are looking good on funds for the University.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) This time of year we try to put ba ck a little extra due to other fundriasers that start this time of year and RL is still putting a hold on finances for many of us.
15:17 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Back to you Wordsmith
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Andrea
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen I caught up on paying instructor stipends yesterday. We are 67 days into the quarter, which is our liability of 55k $L, We have a surplus of about 120k $L above my nominal reserve of 225k $L. Than basically means we could run for about 3.4 quarters with current funds.
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) :-)
15:21 Gronk Seriman Nice!
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Thank you to everyone who donates.

15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got one crisis to attend to: This morning I discovered the schedule in the Java scheduling interface was blanked, but fortunately not the lecture definitions. It also appears that a PHP update has clobbered the interface to that on our website. That's likely an easy fix, but is an immediate need.
