The School currently has over 700GB of online storage. That may seem like a lot, but it will fill up. We do have disk quotas for students, set generously at 500MB (or even higher by request) , but toward the middle of every semester I get complaints from people who’ve hit their limit. One cause of this is that they have files from previous classes that they never removed, no longer have access to, but still own. It’s never too early to think about backing up. Students should (and faculty should remind them) move their files to CD or DVD prior to the end of the semester, before their access goes away.
Is our disk space infinite?
November 8th, 2005Those “account alert” e-mails
September 22nd, 2005Many of you may have seen my message about these, but it doesn’t hurt to say it again. The e-mail messages with “Account Alert” in the subject are fakes. You will never get a message like that from ITS. If your account has been compromised it will be taken off line and you’ll find out about it after. They’ll never wait 24 hours if there is any risk to the network or data.
Lab assistants
September 13th, 2005I have lined up the lab assistants for this semester, and open labs have begun. Please remember that the labs are open Sunday through Thursday nights from 5:30 UNTIL 9:30. Also, labs close at 5 on Friday, which does not mean that you should start packing up at 5. Rachel Shaver is working on Sundays. Rachel Chapin works Mondays and Thursdays. Samkit Shah works on Tuesdays, and Matt Davis on Wednesdays.
