Computing Alumni blog

Friday, December 17th, 2010

The new “computing alumni” blog is for alumni who either worked with computing at Hampshire or are now working in computing-related fields. The intent is to provide a space for the alumni to network with each other and also with current students (e.g. maybe for connecting students to internships etc.). Everybody can read it, but I have to give alumni author privileges on an individual basis. If you know of anyone who should be given author privileges and invited to participate then please drop a line to lspector@hampshire.edu.

Site problems fixed (mostly)

Friday, December 17th, 2010

The i3ci site had an elusive bug for the last several months but we’ve gotten a handle on it, fixed the problems (mostly), and begun to do some new things.

The bug manifested as blogs giving “not found” errors when there really was content, and we’ve traced it to a setting of the “wp-sticky” plugin (which lets you make posts “sticky” to stay at the top of the blog). We’ve fixed most of the blogs, although there are a few that are recalcitrant. In those few cases I don’t know if the authors removed content or changed other settings… If you see that a blog of yours is misbehaving then please drop me a line.

In other news we hope to update to the new version of WordPress soon, which should increase stability and I think also add some new features.
