CCS News

JULY 22, 2011

FROM THE COMPUTER ROOM:
Power Outage – Many folks have asked us if we know the reason for the power outage. We really have no way of knowing, but we have to assume that we were amongst the “rolling” outages that occurred while ComEd was fixing other problems. It might have been necessary to disable this region to repair the overall situation. Or functioning equipment could have been over-stressed during the outages. We need to thank our night operator Rory Warfield, who stayed all night so that we could be alerted to the first flicker of light, and we need to thank Bob Barth, who monitored our plight just about hourly while off duty and then ran right over to CCS to restart systems when the power came up. Thanks for your support and patience during the outage.

BookMyne – we are in the beginning stages of testing BookMyne which is a product for mobile devices from SirsiDynix. We talked about this during the PAS meeting July 21 – so stay tuned for more information.

SVA – as this is written, SVA is going well and we continue to monitor it to see if we can prevent the failed calls list from growing large again.

WELCOME BACK!
We are very pleased to welcome back Jo Anne Holmes after her hip replacement surgery.
