For those programming here on the VirtualRDC or elsewhere, this list might be a useful reference point. Don’t forget the ever useful UCLA Academic Technology Services pages and our very own CISER Online Computing Help. For those preferring the source, the SAS Online Documentation is always useful.
NSF01 is accessible again since noon on 26 April 2006. Fast disk access to 7.5TB is now available under /temporary/saswork1. However, direct access using thin clients is still not feasible until the NX server gets re-installed – please log in to your local RDC node (rdc07, rdc10) first, then SSH to NSF01 (this is confirmed to work).

We have compiled the latest version of the Icon programming language. RPM packages can be downloaded for i586, x86_64, and ia64 at our download site.
The latest news from CSvD is
The primary system disk had problems that prevented booting since Friday. It looks like the problem has been nailed down, and a solution found. Quoting a Census email message:
NSF01 has done down during non-routine system maintenance, system disk degraded. More details to follow. As of 11:21, the system is down, and is expected to remain down for at least Monday morning as well.
We have updated the NX servers on all nodes to the commercial NoMachine version. This should improve reliability and functionality. [More »]
We will be doing some minor maintenance on the VirtualRDC nodes today, affecting only the NX method of logging in. Other access methods should be unaffected. Consult the VirtualRDC guide on how to use the other methods.
The license for SAS DQ server, which can be used for fuzzy matching of datasets similar to SRD matchers,has been renewed. [More »]
A link I found with lots of useful R tips. As so often, thanks to the Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science blog.
