ISG News has posted a new item, 'ISG old hardware yard sale'
ISG sits on a pile of older hardware that for various reasons cannot be used in
our setup any more but that many people have expressed interest in. Following
standard procedure we have first offered it for ETH internal deployment, and
whatever is left can now be purchased for private use. These are mainly
pre-Intel Macs and Shuttle barebones. In order to ensure complete fairness and
not to privilege anyone, the following rules apply to everybody who's interested
in buying:
General rules
- this goes to all D-PHYS members
- 1 item per person
- there's no warranty or service whatsoever. All devices have successfully been
turned on, but that's it
- if your item doesn't turn on, you can bring it back within 5 days and get a
full refund - but only then. No refund if you don't like it
- no OS, no software, no manual, no keyboard, no cables. You get one piece of
hardware. All HDs are blank
- computers are CHF 100.-, monitors are 50.- - these are not our prices, but

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Webserver upgrade on Wed, June 15'
On Wednesday, 15th of June 2011, starting at 3pm, we will upgrade the operating
system of our webserver zwoelfi.ethz.ch. This implies a downtime of all websites
and web-related services (including www.phys.ethz.ch, nic.phys.ethz.ch,
lager.phys.ethz.ch, events.phys.ethz.ch, FIRST booking, all wikis and the
groupware service) and most MySQL databases for several hours. As many of
those websites have to be upgraded as well, they will successively come back
online as we patch them up. We'll keep you posted as we proceed.
