Back in 07 a hurricane was bearing down on the islands right around the time students were scheduled to move-in. Thankfully it dissipated and we had a nice weather for move-ins. 

At that time, I had created a twitter account alvinatuhmsh to share news and status of check-ins. I didn’t push it to hard because it was unofficial and I didn’t really want to add it to the list of things I _have_ to do.

But with Twitter hitting mainstream and having someone actually follow the account (albeit a friend who’s closely tied to UH) I guess I’ll give it another go.

I’ll start posting my work related updates there and at this blog. Follow if you like, or just check http://twitter.com/alvinatuhmsh every so often. Just remember this is all unofficial.

The housing application for 2009-2010 terms will be an on-line application.  I’m finalizing payment processing piece of the application. Once that piece is done, we’ll do some final testing and release the application to students with valid UH numbers.

A link to the application (as well as a PDF copy of the brochure) will appear on http://www.housing.hawaii.edu/apply. A notice and link to this page will also appear on the housing’s site’s home page.

YueFan Lam provided a nice list of links related to SP1 for Windows Vista via the ResNet listserv. I’m holding my breath, but it sure looks like “fun-filled” future.

Full of I.T. : I can’t do WHAT?! Why can’t I create my own slipstreamed installation of Windows Vista SP1?
