I was clicking through the latest version of EMU FOCUS (some good stuff in there), when I found this curious photo/story that I thought might be of interest since there used to be some astronomy club members around here once upon a time: To quote the story/caption: NEW TELESCOPE: Members of Eastern Michigan University’s Astronomy Club recently [...] An alert EMUTalk.org reader and media person at EMU emailed to let me know that “Eastern Michigan University names Carl Powell chief information officer.” Good for him, I suppose, and welcome to EMU, Carl. I don’t know if Powell is really ready or able to address any wish lists, but I for one would simply like [...] As far as I can tell, it’s been down since some time late this afternoon. It’d sure be nice to see it working again some time before the term started…. Walter Kraft just sent around the following: Open forums will take place next week for the Chief Information Officer candidates. All forums will take place from 1:15 – 2 p.m. in 205 Welch Hall. The schedule is as follows: Monday Assuming that ICT has not cracked the secret of time-travel, I’m guessing that someone has made a pretty silly error. BTW, for the unfamiliar, see the often not completely G-rated FAIL blog. From Ron Woody this morning: Due to a major disk failure, the it.emich.edu website and several supported web applications are currently down.

Affected systems include (not exhaustive): I’ve been meaning to post about these articles for a few days now, but I have been (ironically enough) pretty busy teaching and such with my online classes. First, from last week’s CHE comes “Online-Education Study Reaffirms Value of Good Teaching, Experts Say.” This is an article about a US Department of Education [...] I thought this was pretty interesting: There was a discussion in my department recently about a policy restricting the use of laptop computers; Lord only knows what some of my colleagues would think of adding Twitter to a class discussion. But I have to say I found this pretty persuasive, and it rings home with [...] The new crime mapping tool being sponsored by/run by EMU and the EMU’s Institute for Geospatial Research (who news we had such a thing?) is pretty cool and has been getting a lot of press in the local and regional media. Here’s a link to the EMU press release, and here’s a link to [...] Not right now…. Update: It’s kind of interesting because I can’t think of the last time the new email system hung up/didn’t work like that. Zimbra has turned out to be pretty robust, I would say. |
