The Summer Tech Express
(formerly the Thursday Technology Brown Bags)
Introduction
The Tech Express is a series of user-friendly brown-bag sessions
on computing at Stanford. These sessions, held from 12:00
to 1:00 P.M and led by knowledgeable ITSS staff, are intended
to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open to everyone,
including faculty and students. No registration is required
– come by and learn something new! Bring your lunch!
Bring your questions! Drinks and
cookies provided.
This summer, the Tech Express returns to Pigott
Hall (Building 260, Room 113). Building 260, also called
the Language Corner, is in the southeast corner of the Main
quad, kitty-corner from the Clock Tower.
The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions from
attendees are strongly encouraged. Topics are announced in
advance through the techexpress mailing list
and on this web page.
Feel free to contact the Tech Express coordinator with your
questions or suggestions. Call Phyllis Olrich at 725-1541
or send email to techexpress-owner@lists.stanford.edu.

The Forsythe mainframe computer will be taken out of
service in December 2003. There are still about 6,200
active accounts on the Forsythe mainframe. We have no
way to provide individual help for most of these accounts.
We need you to do everything you can to evaluate your
situation, migrate your own data and email, and close
your account. John Klemm (7/17) and Susan
Plass (8/7) will review the basics of how to take
those steps.

Sundial is the Stanford-wide calendar project that
will for the first time give the entire University a
common web-based calendar system. This fully featured
calendaring service will be centrally maintained; available
to all departments and individual users; and capable
of tracking individual, group, event, and resource schedules.
Come to this session to learn more about this exciting
new project!

In this "bonus" Tech Express, Mark Branom
will show you how to use the Mailing List Services available
at lists.stanford.edu.
An email list (also called "mailing list"
or "email distribution list") lets you send
a piece of email to a single email address (the address
of the list), and the email is then forwarded as email
to all the email addresses in the list. Learn how easy
it is to use this web-based service as a replacement
for the Forsythe EMS Distributions Lists that you may
have been using.

Do any of the following questions sound familiar?
- I've been hearing a lot about "information
security" – what's all the hue and cry about?
- What is the "Security Awareness program?"
- Someone said that Information Security Services
is scanning computers all over campus – isn't
that a violation of my privacy?
- Stanford has ten's of thousands of computers on
a very open network – doesn't that mean we can't
be secure?
- Doesn't more or better information security mean
that getting my computer work done will be harder,
or even impossible to do?
If these and other similar questions are on your mind,
come to this session and get your questions answered.
Tina Darmohray, of Information Security Services,
will provide an update on programs and activities, as
well as explain the value of security facilities that
we all can use. Get YOUR questions answered. Download
the PowerPoint presentation here.
