Recent work in IT Dept.

The issue with the university network connecting to Google-hosted services now seems to be resolved. This was a JANET-wide issue (JANET is the internet service for UK universities). This was affecting some myblog.arts sites – the pages were taking a long time to load, as they tried unsuccessfully to download fonts from Google, or connect to Google stats services.
Now that this issue is resolved, YouTube and Google Docs should be accessible.

Unfortunately there was an outage at one of UAL’s technical hubs on Thursday 20th Feb, which continued into Friday 21st Feb. This affected access to various UAL web services, including myblog.arts. Apologies if this caused inconvenience.
