downtime.
by Cian Brennan 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi all, Apologies for the second mail, but apparently people don't like listening to me :( We're announcing ~4 hours of down time, from about 11 O' clock next monday afternoon, while new network cards are added to deathray and minerva, and we try to do something about making your inbox open faster. :) on other, entirely tangentail news, the SU are running a sleepover in the venue next week, which we'll be at providing some kind of internet access. Not really much of a redbrick event, but we are somewhat involved, and it is for charity, so it deserves a mention anyway. There'll probably be loads of us there, so do come along and join in the fun. Anyway, sorry again for clogging your inbox. Cian
