Guest Access to Wireless Internet Made Easier

The Office of Information Technology has announced a change to the way campus guests access wireless Internet. Starting June 9th visitors will see the option of "UCB guest wireless" among their wireless network choices and will only need to accept a terms of service agreement to access wireless Internet, similar to public Internet hot-spots. To reduce the risk of inappropriate use of the network, the guest wireless service provides Internet access only - not access to campus resources. For resources that are only available to faculty, students, and staff, various existing security measures will remain. More information about the service and how to connect is available at www.colorado.edu/its/wireless/guest/. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Service Center at 303-735-4357 (or 5-HELP from an on-campus phone) or help@colorado.edu. Phone help is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

IM Service Working Again

From Mark Mabbett - As far as I can tell IM is serviceable again--please staff it as you normally would. They're still working on some issues so it isn't perfect yet but basic functionality is back. Right now transferring, IP addresses, and emailing yourself transcripts isn't working. But that should be back at some point. There is also a character count for all messages, just like you were answering a text message. It will count down from 140 but you can ignore that and make it go to negative numbers. Also, the guest IDs are really long now, something like 25 digits. Most importantly, the default status is set to Away when you log in so you'll need to change that to Available as soon as you log in. They are working on setting that default back to Available. Be patient and let the IM TF know if something is wrong and we'll see what we can do.

IM service down

From Mark Mabbett - This is just a quick note on behalf of the IM Task Force. Our IM service, Libraryh3lp, is currently updating their service so the system is not working. Since we don't really know much about when it will be up we're not going to monitor IM until further notice--hopefully today but that is really unknown. The system may not be stable for a couple of days so rather than let our users have a bad experience with an unstable system we're saying no IM until further notice. The public facing windows shouldn't be accessible since they require someone to login and monitor them to display. If you get any questions please send them my way and I'll send an update to the list when we're back to normal

Printing for Summer School Students

It has been reported that the Buff One Card Office hasn’t added the print allowance to students enrolled in courses this summer. If a student calls the office (303-492-0355), a staff member in that office can add value to the card that is immediately available for students to use for printing.
