December 12 Briefs Excerpts:

CNI Maintenance Day Set for Tuesday, Dec. 18, 5-7 p.m.
The CNI Group is planning a maintenance period on Tuesday, Dec. 18, 5-7 p.m. During this time, a network switch in the SSC building will be rebooted. Thus, the east side of the SSC will be without networking for about 15 minutes. Plan your work accordingly. Also, software updates to Firefox and Thunderbird and Windows and Linux patches will all be released. Plan on rebooting your system after the patches are installed. The Indico system will also be upgraded to a newer version and will be unavailable during the maintenance window. Finally, if you manage the patch installations on your system, please ensure that all patches have been installed and the system is rebooted prior to leaving for the holiday break. If you have any questions or concerns about this maintenance period, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.
