Software updates on Wednesday January 12, 2011
January 12, 2011 by
The departmental servers coxeter, sphere, and the mail, web, and blog/wiki servers will have a few software updates applied today (Wednesday) afternoon (January 12, 2011) which will require rebooting. Since some updates will be applied while the servers are still up there may be some temporary issues with some software. We hope that any such issues will be minor and by doing most of the upgrading without bringing systems down the shorter downtime will be worth the potential minor problems. Please restart any programs if you observe problems during the upgrades (and please let us know at requests@math.toronto.edu, so we can investigate). We expect the systems to be back to be back up by 5pm.
Software updates on Wednesday December 15, 2010
December 13, 2010 by
The departmental servers coxeter, sphere, and the mail, web, and blog/wiki servers will have a few software updates applied during Wednesday afternoon (December 15, 2010) which at the moment do NOT require rebooting (that may change if additional updates appear by that day). Since the updates will be applied while the servers are still up there may be some temporary issues with some software (for example, we have already updated the important firefox, thunderbird, and acroread software). We hope that any issues will be minor and by doing the upgrading without bringing systems down that will be worth the potential minor problems. Please restart any programs if you observe problems during the upgrades (and please let us know so we can investigate).

BA6200 changes
October 25, 2010 by
There have been some changes made to the computers in BA6200. All the monitors in there are now LCD panels (as opposed to the large CRT monitors that were in that room). The various computers in there are being upgraded and we hope that soon all the machines in that room will be working more consistently. As always, please send email to requests@math.toronto.edu if you notice problems with the machines in that room.
