They're here for longer, but I'm leaving Thursday, so we're doing our farewell celebration today at 4. Unless someone has a suggestion, let's say the default is Gordon Biersch. == Craig

and the mother-in-law finally decides to vistit.....
by beth cerny 20 Jul '10

Hi, My mother-in-law is visiting this week (we found out a little over a week ago that she was wanted to come and this is her first visit since we moved back from Cali - it has been 4yrs (father-in-law still won't come) - needless to say, this is a huge deal). So I'm going to take a vacation day sometime this week, but haven't decided which day would work out the best. I think Wednesday might be the only day that we will have a day w/out rain - so I'm leaning towards that. Otherwise, I'd prefer to take off Friday. If I make some great progress on my projects, I might take 2 days off. I'll know more this evening. Sorry for the late notice.

Amy's heading to San Diego tomorrow and is taking her laptop, but she doesn't have a laptop bag to put it in. Does anyone have a spare laptop bag she could use until next Tuesday?

I have to work from home today. Vinnie woke up about a half hour ago not being able to breathe and burning up. His breathing is still really bad even after a treatment. I may need to take him to the Dr. later if it doesn't get any better. I can be reached by normal means, my house phone is 815-744-6036. T.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, The laptop was found. It was indeed in the excess pile, but the CSI tag must have come off. We matched the serial number. The hand held organizer, however, is still MIA. Please check your area in case you may have this. Thanks! - -John - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Missing Property Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:50:05 -0500 From: John Roberts <roberts(a)mcs.anl.gov> To: MCS IT Admins Core <core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov> Hi, Please check your offices and such and let me know if you find these machines... They were marked for excess, but we can't seem to find them. If you want them, we can transfer them to your name, but currently I don't know of the whereabouts. Thanks! 1) CSI 329595 which is a laptop. I believe its either a mac or a thinkpad. 2) CSI 335630 which is a handheld PC. - -- John Roberts Argonne National Laboratory MCS Division roberts(a)mcs.anl.gov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFMRKFoEYv/zV/ZYuoRAseJAJoC+Hokkbugon+dnRPXtUbN0In2UwCeN6Ot avYa58p/9/NQwrifxpqU7rE= =8ffB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Problem w/ accounts page
by Craig Stacey 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

We tried updating Joe Urbanski's password today, but the crypt never made it to /etc/passwd on breeze. I had to put it in by hand. Joe used to be jurbanski (9 chars) and a CI account. I changed the account type, and changed the username (so it would work with the pages). The name change propagated through just fine. Anyway, heads up there may be an issue. == Craig
