Things are Changing

New area code, new address

Things are changing around here at a rapid pace. First of all, Denton, including the University, has a new area code. Now you must use 940 instead of 817 when calling the University long distance. In a nonrelated but timely coincidence, the University has also acquired new post office boxes. This acquisition has caused everyone to have to get new box numbers. The new box number for the Computing Center is 305398, thus changing our complete zip code to 76203-5398

New terminology

We are changing the way we talk about our services in the Computing Center. Instead of discussing people getting "Jove IDs" when they're really just wanting to use the Internet, we will begin talking (and writing) about "Internet Accounts" instead. This may seen awkward at first, but please bear with us. We believe that, in the long run, redefining these services to reflect more accurately their true usage will help everyone.

ACS Offices Move

Several people in Academic Computing Services have moved. The World Wide Web folks (Mark Wilcox and Sharon Marek) have moved over to Marquis Hall and share a suite of offices with the Distributed Learning Team (Jenny Jopling and Joey Hoffmann) who also moved, but just down the hall. They have all maintained their old phone numbers but their offices are now in Marquis 218 and 219.

Dianna Laakso, a former Computing Center employee who left for a two year stint at E-Systems, is back as our UNIX System Administrator (for Jove) and is occupying Mark Wilcox's former office in ISB 122. More office switching may occur in the future.
