We finally got email and messaging services back at the university today, followed by departmental shared network drives: phew! Normal service is being resumed it seems, but have we learned anything from the chaos? I certainly hope so, though I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Aside from being pleased to be able to communicate with colleagues and students once more, I'm really happy to be in a position to start delivering training again. I have a two-day Introduction to Microsoft Access course planned for tomorrow and Friday, which I really didn't want to have to postpone. After all I've already had to scratch two Dreamweaver and two Fireworks sessions that will need to be knitted back into the overcrowded training programme somehow.

The remainder of our failed services should be back with us tomorrow. This doesn't impact on me very much thankfully, but it is likely to make colleagues happier about the state of affairs. :DD
