I'm trying to clean out our storage to make room for newer hardware. I have a bunch of old (3-5 year) HP desktops and 19-20" screens that I'm sending to excess. If anyone wants to take a look at these, I could instead transfer to you if you are so inclined. The desktops don't really run the new linux builds without hanging occasionally as a warning… Let me know if interested. thanks. -- John Roberts Systems Administrator Jr. Argonne National Laboratory MCS Division roberts(a)mcs.anl.gov

Fwd: Travel accruals in XM
by Tina Stanton-Piersanti 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Just an FYI to those of you who travel. T. > > Subject: Travel accruals in XM > > Hello, > > A review of the fiscal year 2012 actual travel cost for foreign and domestic business travel has necessitated an adjustment to the default accrual amounts in XM. The accrual rates, which will be retroactive to the beginning of fiscal year 2013, are $2900.00 for foreign trips and $1200.00 for domestic trips. For a more accurate accrual, please override the default business cost estimate on the travel plan with your own calculated business trip estimate. > > If you have any questions, please let me know. > > Thanks, > Dino J.

Where's Chris?
by Chris Walker 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

The weather is here, I wish it were beautiful.. "Here" is Revere, Mass. and the weather is hurricane sandy.. Our flight out of Logan has already been canceled, and I'm re-booked for Tuesday night. I had tomorrow as a vacation day, but I'm stuck in my friend's condo (right next to the beach of course) until the airport reopens.. So I may as well work tomorrow, and sort out the 400 or so emails I have in my inbox. I'm sure Tina wrote about 350 emails of things I need to fix.. Depending on how Monday goes, we'll evaluate Tuesday.. The situation is rather fluid (ha ha), so stay tuned!

Okay, this is a weird question
by Craig Stacey 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Did someone put an electronic chirpy thing in my office? I keep hearing little chirps from time to time, but I can't tell where they're coming from. I know it's not an Annoy-o-tron from Think Geek, since I know what those sound like. Maybe I'm just going crazy. -- Craig
