Hi all

I hope everyone is staying safe and well.

As you may have seen, the University is adding an extra two days to the Easter holiday this weekend, so the University will be closed from Wednesday 8th to Monday 13th April.  Therefore, YNiC user support will also be unavailable over that period.  You will still be able to use the remote desktop, if you wish.

More hard work from Joe, Mark and Rich last week means that we've now increased our remote desktop capacity even further.  However, to ensure that everyone can make use of the remote desktop, please note that any large analyses must only be run on the cluster, and not directly on the remote desktop.  Any users that do not use the remote desktop responsibly will have their sessions terminated by our IT team, so please adhere to this restriction.  Please see the

I hope you are able to enjoy some work-free time over the bank holiday weekend!  In the meantime, if you are experiencing any technical issues please send us a ticket at support@ynic.york.ac.uk, with screenshots and details of the errors.  

All the best

Lauren
