by Christian Herzog 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

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 http://www.rechtssammlung.ethz.ch/pdf/220_Inventarwesen_Jan06.pdf - all proceeds go to the D-PHYS funds, not ISG - if you have no use for a computer without OS or software, don't come shopping Registration - first-register-first-serve basis - register at http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/isgsale/ - you will get a number that determines your place in the queue - registration closes Mon, July 11, 2011, the sale itself will be on Fri, July 15, 2011 - on July 11, 2011 we will publish the schedule on http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/isgsale/ - find your number and come to HPT D 15 at the time indicated. Don't come earlier, you'll just have to wait - bring cash. The right amount - we don't have change The sale itself - 5 people at a time will be able to pick from what's left - 1 item per person - NO EXCEPTIONS - pay cash, no change - take your item with you and have fun - if your item doesn't turn on, get a refund within 5 days You may view the latest post at https://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/2011/06/30/isg-old-hardware-yard-sale/ You received this e-mail because you asked to be notified when new updates are posted.

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.
