mote33 was brought down for updates this morning at 10:00. The process ran long but the system was back up and available before 11:00. — Ben Stoutenburgh 2012/01/20 10:55

The pickup roller in the Asprey printer has been causing “paper jams”. It has been replaced and printing seems fine now.

The filer server is rebuilding one of its drive arrays after the replacement of a bad disk. While there is no outage, some students will notice some delay tonight as the array takes a couple hours to resync its data.

For some of Sunday Eve through 5:30pm Monday several servers and users home directories were not available. As of 5:30 pm Monday, May 30 everything should be back up and available. If it is not, please let me know. — Greg Priest-Dorman 2011/05/30 19:04

The cooling system for our server room is off line. I have shut down several less essential systems in hopes of being able to keep the remaining systems alive and running, so far this is working.

The network connection for the CS department was disconnected Wed. Morning while CIS tested new network equipment. It is back up now. — Greg Priest-Dorman 2011/03/30 09:22

The new 32 core remote access server has crashed twice today (3/22/2011) I am bringing back the old one while I work on the new one. Our older (4 core/8gig) remote access ssh/vnc server is back on line for now.

Our remote ssh/vnc server was off line for a little while late morning Thursday March 10th while it was replaced with a newer more powerful box. The new server is up and running. If you have any problems with it please let me know. The new box has much more memory, more network bandwith and many more processors. Enjoy, — Greg Priest-Dorman 2011/03/10 12:27

We have had a squid proxy server for use in the department. It was not available from outside cs.vassar.edu. The machine that was our http proxy server is being turned off over spring break. I do not know if it will be replaced. If you notice problems browsing please check if you are using mr42.cs.vassar.edu or 143.229.6.42 for your http proxy, if so, remove it. — Greg Priest-Dorman 2011/03/09 06:45

It has a new toner cartage and seems to be working well with it.

I am working on enabling access to vprint printing from within the department. It is not working yet. If you are working on one of the department machines and happen to see “vprint” as a printer it is because I am working on it. You will note the location and description reads “NOT YET WORKING - DO NOT USE”.

Once I have it working I will change this message and that one.

As of Summer 2010 all desktop linux systems in the department are running a 64 bit version of linux. If you have any problems with the new system please let me know. So far there have only been two problems related to the change from 32bit to 64bit, but something else may emerge as time goes on. — Greg Priest-Dorman 2010/12/30 09:39

Watch this space for updates.
