February 26 Briefs Excerpts:

Potential Jefferson Lab Internet Outage on March 1-2
Jefferson Lab's internet service provider will be conducting work on the lab's internet connection over the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, March 1 and 2, this work could potentially cause intermittent loss of internet service to the lab. A full outage is not expected with this work. However, members of the Computing and Networking Infrastructure group will be monitoring the work and connection to ensure that should a loss of service occur, service will be quickly restored. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this work, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.

Upgrade to Timesheet System
Jefferson Lab is rolling out an upgrade to the Time and Expense system (Timesheet system) on the evening of March 11. The upgraded system will be available for lab-wide use the morning of March 12. The upgrade differences are minor, with the main difference regarding how the menu information is displayed. Two informational sessions will be held in the CEBAF Center auditorium: one at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 7, and a second session at 2 p.m. on Monday, March 10. Both sessions are anticipated to last about half an hour. In addition, the Powerpoint slides will be made available on Insight if you would rather see the updates independently. The training will compare the old system to the upgraded system. If you have any questions about this upgrade, contact Bill Shelton, x7120.
