Ancient snakes — a new hiss-tory

(from YaleNews)  The ancestral snakes in the grass actually lived in the forest, according to the most detailed look yet at the iconic reptiles.

BulldogN Maintenance Postponed

We have decided to postpone the maintenance window for Bulldogn that was scheduled for Monday June 8th. Another downtime will be required in a few weeks for electrical power work in our West Campus Data Center and in an effort to avoid multiple interruptions we have chosen to consolidate maintenance windows.  The precise date has yet to be determined.

In the meantime, we may contact individual users in order to arrange to migrate their home directories while the cluster is operating.
