MDM Trouble Report for 2018 Nov 20

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): John Thorstensen (Dartmouth)
Instrument: modspec + echelle CCD

Problem(s) Encountered:
Around 1 AM the mouse disappeared on the TCS computer.  I 
worked around this by VNC-ing in from mdm4ws1 (no need to use
ws2, there's enough real estate on ws1).  The mouse was there,
but it was a little bitty square which called for a bit of 
squinting.  But I could work!  I'd had some earlier problems
with the monitor etc connectivity, and Eric had suggested
this workaround; thanks to that, it only took a minute to 
get the mouse back.  

I tried cycling power on the Emerson box and also plugging and
unplugging the mouse from the Emerson box, but these measures 
did about as much as Rainer Wolfcastle's goggles.  'My eyes --
ze goggles, zey do nah-thing'
