Subject: DEPT: Emergency Network Outage
(U.S. EDT)
DAY: Saturday
DATE: February 3, 2007
TIME: 5:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
AREAS/BUILDINGS AFFECTED: CAMPUS-WIDE
SERVICES AFFECTED:
If you are using a Wired or Wireless connection, you will not have a network connection. Therefore, you will NOT have access to many services throughout the course of this maintenance (e.g., email, calendar, Internet connectivity, etc.). Likewise, users will not have access to services hosted on servers within your building.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
As part of the final phase of the maintenance performed last week on the network infrastructure, we will need to reboot ALL wired switches and several wireless access points around campus. Each building will experience around a 15 minute outage. We will roll these outages across campus finishing everything by 9:00 am.
Please direct any questions or comments to the Computing Services Help Center (x8-HELP or advisor@andrew.cmu.edu) or to your departmental administrator or DSP consultant.

My personal favorite is when half legal sized paper fliers are put EVERYWHERE on campus, even in the bathroom, saying FIRE ALARM TEST TUESDAY AT 4:30 AM!
As generally convenient as this network outage is--I'll most likely be asleep for all hours surrounding this time frame--I am somewhat compelled to purposely wake up at 4:30 Saturday morning to take advantage of the forced productivity.
...or not.
