From the head of department

We would like thank Øystein Olsen who recently retired from his position, for his years long efforts as the leader of examination committee at the department. This is an important and meticulous work that requires all members in the committee to respond promptly to all requests. At the same time, we would like to thank Bjørn Arntzen for taking over this important task as the leader of the examination committee.

Have a good weekend,
Geir Anton

Phasing out of «Windows XP» at UiB

During the fall of 2014, Microsoft will stop providing support on the Windows XP OS. This means that the IT-department can no longer offer XP-driven client machines. All existing XP machines must be replaced or reinstalled with Windows 7. You can read more on this here.

 

Secret services from the IT-department

Some of the services offered by the IT-department are not very well known. Here you can find information about some of these services that are offered to both students and employees:

 

·       Forms  - you can create your own online-forms (registration forms, feedback forms, evaluation forms)

·       Wordpress (blog) – you can get your own Wordpress instance, often referred to as «blog» where you simply publish information on the web.

·       Wiki – you get a Wiki, where you can write text based articles together with others, the same as in Wikipedia. The information can be open or closed.

·       HTML web pages – you can create an area to publish your webpages on: FOLK, ORG, and KURS. (html, CSS, JavaScript)

·       LAMP (also called «self hosted solution») LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP: This is for advanced users who also know what they need. We create an area and MySQL database. The rest is done by you. We set requirements for both security and protection against email spam.
