photo series of historic computing at MCS/ANL
by Beth Cerny 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi All, We want to make *portraits* of all the old, retired systems and hang them in the hallway of the first floor. Can you please send me all the high-res images that any of you have of any of the old systems? I thinking: 1. Chiba City 2. Old Fusion (don't know what it was called) 3. Magellan (I know this is in use but as Magellan it has retired) 4. BG/L 5. SiCortex (has this been retired?) Any others? We'd like to get this up before the Open House so please give and send me the 411. Much appreciated. Beth

Jonathan, We are receiving complaints that you are abusing the MCS general use compute servers recently. Today, the load reach > 400 on several machines at once all related to your processes. Please try to limit your use of the compute resources, or your account will be suspended. -- Ken Raffenetti Systems Administration Associate MCS Division - Argonne National Laboratory

URL for puppet versioning
by Hunter Matthews 30 Aug '12

Ti, This isn't the exact one I was looking for, but this does cover both git and mercurial use in a puppet context. It documents what I do at least... :) -- Hunter Matthews Unix Administrator Office: Bldg 240 Room 2139 Argonne National Labs, MCS Key: F0F88438 / FFB5 34C0 B350 99A4 BB02 9779 A5DB 8B09 F0F8 8438 Never take candy from strangers.

Ti change the movies on the displays in the core, just change the movie in the startup folder and double check to make sure it opens in VLC and in full screen. -- Craig (from my mobile)

AV Net complete
by Schmitz, Corby B. 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I provisioned the new AV net through to the jack on the 4th floor where the apple TV is plugged in. I used a real cat6 cable and it should be all set. I don't see link, but its not clear to me that I should (might take a poke from you to make it go). Once DHCP is enabled, the whole thing will be host base managed I suspect. -- corby

Re: [MCS-HR] Please update web information for Seweryniak, Dariusz
by Craig Stacey 30 Aug '12

Userbase has nothing to do with this. This is still the old system. He selected the resource labeled "MCS Web User: Gives the user an entry in the MCS website's Staff Directory section", which kicked off a mail to mcs-hr, who put it in place. I think that text is fairly indicative of what it's supposed to accomplish. I've now changed that resource so that it requires approval. The approver for the resource will be Pat. In other words, nobody can get the resource unless Pat okays it. When someone requests it, Pat will be notified to approve or deny the request via https://accounts.mcs.anl.gov. This should prevent this in the future. -- Craig On Aug 30, 2012, at 11:41 AM, Beth Cerny <bcerny(a)alcf.anl.gov> wrote: > Yes, the old system (before new userbase) worked that way.

Aidan's school gift checks
by Ti Leggett 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Normally I wouldn't bug anyone about these things, but this actually seems like a good deal. Aidan's school is having a fund raiser by selling these gift check books (basically a book with vouchers to local businesses). The book is $30 and has cash vouchers to lots of local businesses like Fransesca's, Bar Louie, bd's, Suparossa, Culver's, Bolingbrook Golf Club, Hollywood Blvd., Pelican Harbor and lots others. If you're interested in one, drop by to see me. If you're not, you're dead to me.
