* New CS Guide
Today, we rolled out a new Guide to CS Computing, aka the
"CS Guide" at https://csguide.cs.princeton.edu/
The new CS Guide has several new sections, including:
+ Updated Cluster Documentation
https://csguide.cs.princeton.edu/resources/clusters
+ Moodle Documentation
https://csguide.cs.princeton.edu/academic/moodle
Additionally, users (after logging in to the CS Guide)
can provide comments, feedback, and tips on each of the
content pages. Periodically, we will fold the user-supplied
content back into the main documentation.
As you explore the guide, please report broken links or
egregious errors to csstaff@cs.princeton.edu
Finally, for the next month or two, the individual pages of
the old CS Guide will remain accessible at their original
locations. The only exception is the main index page which
has moved to https://csguide.cs.princeton.edu/csguide-old.php
This will allow users time to re-point any deep links to the
old pages to the new guide. Because we have reorganized the
material, there is not a 1-to-1 correspondence between the old
pages and the new.
* Status Line: 258-STATus
As you may have noticed in the downtime messages a reference to
our Status Line (258-STATus / 258-7828). This is a "listen only"
phone line where we record messages about downtimes and other
major outages. This should be especially useful to the faculty
DSL users who are unable to check the status page when our systems
are down.
* Database Upgrade
Today, we upgraded our public database server to MySQL v5.0.27.
* Gigabit Link to OIT
Today, we completed the deployment of our gateway router. As a
result, we now have a 1 Gbit/s link to OIT (up from 100 Mbit/s).
