Whoa
Wow, got a nice little surprise from my home ISP today. Apparently Hickorytech has bumped up their speeds by 300% and kept their prices the same. So I was getting 2Mb down and 384k up. Now they say I am getting 6Mb down and 864k up. Cool. So far all the speed tests show it […]
South West Hall Network
Today Ethan and I got started on installing the network hardware in South West Hall. The new building will have a nice 10/100 MBit network with each half of the building having its own 1GBit uplink to the rest of campus. Hopefully that will make the heavy network users in that building next year very […]
SSC Network Upgrade
Yesterday we upgraded the network connection between SSC and the rest of campus from a 100Mbit connection to a 1Gbit connection. Hopefully anyone with a computer in SSC will notice a nice increase in network performance.
No Google for Paul
For some reason, Paul Hanson is still not having any luck with Google. Google has visited his site, but if you try to search for it, you can’t find it. And what is even funnier is that most of the time when you search for it, the best link is this site 🙂 Anyway, so […]
Server Room Upgrade
Well, we finally did it. It probably should have been done years ago, but we finally made the move. We installed 10 nice new 7′ x 19″ racks in the server room and last Thursday night we moved the remaining critical systems into those new racks. We started shutting everything down at about 5:00pm and […]
Helping another blogger

Server Room
As we are getting closer and closer to the date when we will be moving all of our servers from their old racks to their shiny new racks, we thought it was time to open up the windows and let everyone see what we are up to. So, if you are so inclined, you can […]
Mailserver Changes
To do our best to keep off the email block lists, all email that is sent on campus to other on campus addresses, and off campus addresses are now being routed through our virus filter before getting delivered. This should make it very difficult for us to actually send a virus via email. This has […]
Issue with iCal and Tiger
Over the weekend I upgraded my PowerBook from OS 10.3 to OS 10.4 Tiger. One of the problems I have noticed is that I could no longer publish my calendars. The way I had is set up in 10.3 was a hack to the .plist file so that I can use https for a secure […]
Internet interuptions last night
As a few students noticed last night we hade a couple small interuptions in our service. I contacted our ISP about it and they were not aware of any problems. Later on they got back to me and let me know that another part of the ISP actually did do some work on their “fiber […]
