Maths' Christmas lunch on Thursday. When I returned to the University afterwards, intent on returning home (I missed the post-lunch piss-up or the 1st time in 5 years! because of my grandfather's funeral the day after -- RIP Charlie Price, 1911-2003) there was a fire alarm in progress with 3 fire engines in attendance. Usually these are false-alarms, especially during exam periods when students mistakenly believe that a fire alarm will void the exam (what usually happens is the exam is rescheduled and rewritten, often tougher!) Today (2 days later) the University web site, learning management system and my Sun box (Maths web server) are unavailable so I guess it was serious after-all! Have the tech. support people pragmatically decided to leave repairs until after Christmas (New Year even?) If-so it reduces the efficacy of my extension for the web technologies class -- no network means no resources for the students :-(
