Services outage due to power failure in Server room

Due to a power failure in the Dartington House server room we have experienced an outage of half of our services from ~2:45-3:15pm . Power has been restored fairly quickly and all services are back up. A full investigation into the causes will take place in the next few days.

Departmental Photoboards

We have been asked by several departmental members to provide web photoboards of our members. We have finally been able to make the first version live. The photo page offers the possibility to view photos of the different staff groups, whereever people have provided photos in their profiles.

We are very much looking forward to feedback, which should ideally be sent to help [-at-] maths [dot] ox [dot] ac [dot] uk .

Live feeds of the New Building Site

Now that the new Mathematics building is about to start getting built, we have put up some live feeds to the building site showing the progress. The Maths website front page will include an up-to-date image and the electronic noticeboards around the department will show a live motion feed of the site.

University Internet link failure

The University's link to JANET, that links us on to the internet is currently down. OUCS had already scheduled work for Tuesday morning, 28th June, at 7am to fix this so it is possible there will be no internet connection until then. We are sorry for the obvious inconvenience this will cause.

Update: It looks like the internet is back, at least partially. Further failures may follow until tomorrow.
