[Binari] e-TALK - 22 December 2008 (fwd)
by Kenny Billiau 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

"VIB" in e-mail adresses In order to strengthen the visibility of VIB and to make things more clear towards the outside world, the management decided - in accordance with all VIB directors and universities - to include "VIB" in all e-mail addresses. The transition from the "old" to the rearranged address is currently in process or is already in place in some departments. In case you'd have questions, please contact the IT people in your department. Please from now on use the new addresses in your communication. You can find an overview of the new e-mail addresses on the VIB Intranet <https://vibportal.vib.be/e-talk> . What kind of bullshit is this? I've got 3 problems with changing of emailaddresses you frequently use. 1/ An email address should be stable. You're subbed to maillinglists or websites, changing all these is a nutjob. And how are we going to use 'forgot password?' forms? 2/ An email address should always work. Inside or outside a network. 3/ An email address should be easy to give to someone in any medium. Don't take goose(a)foose-clo.ose.com because people on the phone will try to hang you around the phonecord. Everything with dashes, too many dots and/or too many parts in the domainname should be avoided. Unless very easy to remember. And did I miss some prior announcement, or is this the first time they've said something about these addresses? If a change is inevidable (company broke, .. ?) , announce it before you say the changes have already been made, so we can protest! -Kenny

Hi, jogor is vagely interested in the fun part of binari (maybe also in the secret society part (I didn't know we were) (but I always wanted to be a StoneCutter)). (who makes home work through ssh, who has the most screen real estate .. we do ! we do-ooo!) (who makes the Xwin clutter up nice, who makes the cluster cough and die .. we do ! we do-o!) Is anyone opposed to let 'm try it out for a time? -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
