New Wireless Telephone Laws Effective July 2008
On July 1, 2008, two new laws dealing with the use of wireless telephones while driving go into effect in California. For more information about these laws, see the Wireless Telephone Laws FAQs from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. When traveling, be aware that many other states and jurisdictions also have laws restricting wireless telephone use while driving.

Online File Storage
Starting Summer, Network Folder space, that can be used for storing

labs and offices will be automatically connected to your Network
Folder.

New Web Servers
A new set of servers (running current versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache) have been configured to accommodate the migration of
all HSU web sites off of Sorrel, beginning immediately. Official HSU sites and user sites will be moving to separate servers.

place you check your grades.

Meeting Maker Authentication
The HSU Meeting Maker Server is set up to use HSU User Name and HSU User Name Password for login. This means the same User Name and Password used for Axe/Webmail and email login can be used to access Meeting Maker. This change affects the Meeting Maker client program as well as the web based Meeting Maker interface.
Old Meeting Maker passwords will continue to work until your HSU User Name Password is used the first time. After that, only the HSU User Name Password will work.
For those managing a “resource” calendar (such as a conference room),
the password will remain the same for that account.
