Be extra cautious of viruses and spyware during MAP testing
MAP testing will occur September 15 - October 6 in all buildings except OHS. During this time, due to the design of the MAP test applicaiton, virus protection must be turned off on desktops and servers that are used for MAP testing. Please be extra cautious about opening any email attachments that you are not expecting during this time, and report any suspicious or unusual computer behavior immediately.

Natural disaster day in techland
The datacenter had a "small-ish" flood today. It apparently was the result of a mistake made while "fixing" one air conditioning unit which had failed earlier this week.
No major systems were interrupted, but we are still trying to limp by at half cooling capacity, while drying the floor and walls, and waiting for repairs.
So far, we've had heat and flooding (and nearly fire, when sparks flew from the malfunctioning AC unit). If the water turns to blood or locusts start flying, I give up.

An Even Easier Helpdesk
We've enabled a feature in the new version of our helpdesk program. This feature allows you to email helpdesk requests to us.
All you need to do is send an email to helpdesk@oregonsd.org or helpdesk@oregon.k12.wi.us. (or friendly.technicians@oregon.k12.wi.us but that gets kinda long ;) ).
If you're more comfortable with the other interface, it's still available at http://helpdesk.oregonsd.org/ . Please include as much information as possible in either method.
As always, feedback is welcome!
