Hello all,
As you are hopefully already aware YNiC is closing as of 5 p.m. this Friday, the 21st, for two weeks. This is just a reminder that between the evening of the 21st and 9 a.m. on the 7th of September, YNiC will effectively be shut down whilst we make some fairly major changes to the IT infrastructure, not the least of which is the replacement of the computers in open plan.
Hopefully this will be a smooth process for everyone using the center, and will provide a greater range of software and analysis tools. Unlike previous closures where most of the changes have been behind the scenes, this year you will definitely notice the difference as both the hardware and operating systems will be changing. While this will inevitably take a little bit of getting used to, there will be change over documentation, and the new systems will provide a much more flexible environment for your analysis.
There will be one or two interruptions to the YNiC website, notably for a couple of hours on the evenings of the 21st and 24th. Any other interruptions should be very brief.
A seperate notice will be sent out by Paul regarding the psychology mail server.
Thanks,
Thanks for telling me this. Otherwise how would I have known YniC was closed? I hope Y-nickers will take the 2 week holiday to enter the department Premier League sweepstake. Poor turnout so far from the 'Nic
