Ubuntu and WebDav...

Ok, if you are UWM then you know about pantherfile and if you are tech savy then you know about Ubuntu. With the release of 8.* thus far you cannot connect to pantherfile with a secure webdav connection; it was is 6.* (I think) and 7.* but not in 8.*. So this is how you can work around it.

Use a custom location under connect to server and type in:
davs://pantherfile.uwm.edu/Your-ePantherid

That will connect you to pantherfile and keep your password with other info in an encrypted string.

New Blog & Open House

Ok, so I finally got this new blog together because my old one was so messed up that it was easier to just start over. Campus Open house is this weekend so that means that the web page I have been working on for the past few months will be put to the test... Trial by fire. A special thanks to SOIS Tech for letting us borrow many "mice!" (inside joke)

Hopefully all will go well...... I wonder what it will be like if campus gets a new software package that can solve the admissions crisis.
