The EECS Helpdesk in 313 Soda hall will be closed from March 27, 2006 through March 31, 2006 (Spring Break) due to a staff shortage. The Helpdesk is staffed almost entirely by UC Berkeley undergrads, most of whom will be out of town this week.
The Helpdesk in 395 Cory Hall will remain open during normal business hours.
If you happen to stop by the Helpdesk this week, make sure to thank the student(s) working for deciding to stay around during their vacation!

As some of you may have noticed, we’ve had a couple of network outages this weekend. IDSG staff is working on the issue. We hope that the steps taken so far will prevent further outages until we can talk to the vendor; however, there is a chance of the problem coming back before Monday. We will continue to monitor the situation and will attempt to respond ASAP.

Around 8:00 this morning parts of campus, including Soda and Cory halls, lost power for about an hour. This affected all of the computing and infrastructure services in EECS.
IDSG and network staff are working to restore computing and network services to the department. Many have been restored already and the rest should follow shortly.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recover from the outage. For further details, please see the UC Berkeley newscenter.
