Temporary closures for essential maintenance

Dear All, A few things to update you on that will be occurring at YNiC over the next couple of weeks. During the weeks commencing 5th September and 12th September we will be performing essential IT maintenance. This is the normal annual procedure to install updates (as specified below). It will impact on access to the centre and its IT provision as follows. 1) We will be closing the centre from 5pm, Monday 6th September through to 9am, Wednesday 7th September. There will be no access to computing during this period. 2) For the week commencing 12th September we will have a ‘soft’ closure. You may come to the centre, but your work may be disrupted by maintenance of hardware and software. It may also be a period during which we have to close the centre at short notice. We should be able to honour scanner bookings during the fortnight, but again there may be instances when we have to cancel them at short notice. OVERVIEW OF UPDATES: We will be updating our desktop and stimulus PC images. This will mean that software versions will change. We make every effort to check that these have minimal impact on researchers’ ability to run their analysis and stimulus code. However, once our updates are made please check your use of software to ensure it still works. Thank you for your patience Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
