Andor images successfully retrieved - the issue was system having more then 3GB RAM. We are able to get images when OS uses 3GB. There is a request to Andor to fix this issue
Design of roof transmission is finished, we expect some testing tomorrow. So far nobody from the company showed, but they phoned they will arrive with transmission on Saturday

roof will be hopefully fixed by added 1:3 - 1:4 sprocket wheel - chain gearbox. On Friday we shall have detailed design
we do not know how will roof behaves during strong winds. If we can found some aerodynamic expert, that can provide us help
Andor is working, but giving 0s at CCD output. My estimate is that this is software problem. I will run more tests on Friday
Cloud sensors show erratic behaviour (works now). I will try to contact author to give hints where it can be. We suspect RS232 connector short
ssh access to b3-main (port 2222) and b3-allsky (port 2223) works; you will need to ask for password
Florentino complain about heat at sensor rack. ipmitool, which were installed, does not shows any significant heat - but I will keep an eye on that
new Zelio arrived and was tested - works fine
Spanish ambassador called Bill and confirmed his attendance at opening (with a box of Spanish wines)

Dome opened a bit by motors
Second half of the roof almost finish, ready for tomorrow placement on top
Weather station mast welded
Davis weather and cloud sensors left on overnight for tests, logging data to computers
ADSL connection fixed
AXIS camera confirmed working
Bought cables for network (AXIS, Zelio, ..)
Andor camera shows problems when exposing (kernel panic), I will look for solutions tomorrow (expected is that driver change will fix it)

Andor power supply connector arrived
ordered new Zelio logic through local dealer (~ 700 NZD) and 24 V power supply (~ 160 NZD)
both servers successfully ran overnight

Antonio arrived
one half of the roof was lifted and installed, Florentino is working to make motors operating
second half of the roof final assembly begins, one plate (out ot 6) is on place
bought Ethernet cables (~50 NZD) and ordered connector for additional Andor power (SATA→IDE interface, ~14 NZD)
successfully tested Apogee CCD and cloud sensor
servers preliminary integrated in rack for testing
mount arrives in a box, we are looking for interface to connect it to pier
it was discovered that we do not have power supply for Andor CCD cooling. CCD will be operational without it, Astelco should carry power supply

finished installation of the servers, going to test them with hardware
bought 1GB switch (187 NZD ~ 100 EUR)
yesterday we find out that the current ADSL Internet connection is way slow. Most probable culprit is missing splitter, that will be installed on Tuesday. Final Internet connection will be solved by own line, which will hopefully be installed sometime next week
also there is a problem with Zelio logic control box - the one bought is incompatible with network module. Temporal solution is to run roof without network control in manual mode, final solution will be in replacement of the Zelio control. The problem is pending confirmation from Schneider-Electrics.

dome is nearing completion
one half of the roof is complete, second half waits for plates to be mated to sites - that will take a few days. I expect that will be finished on Tuesday or Wednesday
Florentino is working on motors, hopefully they will be ready within few days
our servers are up and running, I am installing operation system and RTS2 on them
looking for options how to get network connected to the observatory
