The University’s wireless networking is currently experiencing problems and there was also a problem with a core router that isolated our department from the rest of the world until about 12:45pm today. The latter problem seems to be fixed now, although connections to the University mail servers remains spotty.
MATLAB sessions on Wednesday September 4, 2013
Complimentary MATLAB seminars for educators, academic researchers and students at the University of Toronto have been scheduled:

New wireless laser pointer for the Seminar Room (BA6183)
A Kensington Wireless Presenter Pro with Green Laser Pointer in now in a small black carrying case in the drawer beneath the computer in the Seminar Room (BA6183). The USB wireless receiver is stored inside the pointer (on the top near the back; there is a small indentation for pulling it out with one’s finger). Please be careful with the receiver when plugging it into computers; if it breaks then the pointer will be much less useful.
This pointer has an on/off switch on the side and four buttons. The top button is for the laser pointer, the left for Previous, the right for Next, and the bottom is supposed to turn the screen off, but this doesn’t always work.
(Image from the publicly available Instruction Guide for the pointer. If Kensington has any copyright concerns about this image then please let us know and it will be removed.)
Currently there is information about this pointer on the Kensington website at this URL. As always with any laser, do not stare into the beam or shine the light into other people’s eyes.
mailserver and coxeter restart delay
coxeter and the mail server are taking somewhat longer to restart due to a longer time being spent expanding the filesystem size for the mail server. Further updates will be posted when time estimates are available. We expect these machines to be back up before 7pm.
MATLAB sessions on Tuesday June 18, 2013
The Licensed Software Office would like to pass along the following invitation.

matlab options
Using matlab on sphere with the “-nodesktop” option allows for command line access to matlab, but plots will still display. This avoids using the large GUI that can be very slow, especially when accessing matlab remotely.
UTmail+ problems
Apparently there has been a problem since last night at 7pm with sending mail to “mail.utoronto.ca” accounts. Those are the accounts that the University moved students to last year. The latest update at 9:45am today is as follows:
More details about what is not working with UTMail+ :
– messages sent from UTMail+ to any destination should be working
– messages to UTmail+ from within UTMail+ should be working
– messages to UTmail+ from UTORmail, UTORExchange, or any other email service anywhere in the world–delivery is failing
We hope to have full service restored as soon as possible.
Another phishing email with subject “University of Toronto (Maths Dept)”
A phishing email, purporting to come from:
“notification@math.toronto.edu” <pgomez1988@gmail.com>
and with message:
This is an impromptu notification, download the attached PDF file and reply to this email.
has been sent to some people in the department. Please delete it without opening the PDF file.
