Subject: Locked up SunRays ...
Message-ID: <399C2A6A.34BB12EF@snf.stanford.edu>

SNF Lab Members:

As many of you are painfully aware, we have had a number of problems with
SunRays getting in a permanently "hourglassed" condition ... they seem to be
waiting for something indefinitely ... in general, it appears to happen to
most folks before the netscape icon appears and before the Coral application
starts so we believe that it is not a problem related to the Coral application
itself locking up.

We have been working with Sun to try to eliminate this problem ... but, thus
far, they don't have a fix.  However, we do, at least, have a key stroke
sequence that will clear this problem once it has happened:

To clear one of these sessions hit: <Cntl> <Alt> + 4 Backspaces.
That is hold down the <Cntl> and <Alt> keys and hit Backspace 4 times in a
row.  Within a short time, this should clear the session and return to the
login prompt.

Also, please remember that everyone should be using a smart card in there. 
With this fix there is no reason for not having a card and for not using it!

Thanks for your cooperation,

John

I have just been notified that due to various building feedback that the
electrical power shutdown scheduled for September 8th has now been
CANCELED until further notice.  I will notify you once a new date & time
has been established.

Dear SNF Co-workers:

As many of you already know, my last day working for the Stanford
Nanofabrication Facility will be this Friday, August 25th.

You may still see me in the lab on occasion, since I have accepted a
position with Dr. Fabian Pease and will be working with his students.

If you have any questions about "who will be doing..." please ask John
Shott or Jim McVittie.

It has been a pleasure working with you.

Sharleen

Subject: Update on hanging sessions ...
Message-ID: <39A305BF.E14180C0@snf.stanford.edu>

SNF Lab Members:

We are working with folks from Sun to try to pinpoint the cause of the
"permanently wedged with the mini-hourglass" condition that some of you see
periodically.  Sun has helped us to institute more detailed logging of each
session startup to see if we can find out specifically where in the process
things are getting locked.

It will help us, however, if you send us e-mail as soon as you get a hung
session so that we can check the logfiles quickly ... if there are too many
logins following the hung session, those logs will be overwritten.

Thanks for your help ...

John

Lab Users,

If anyone in your group is waiting to attend the September Safety Training
Lecture which is needed to start working in the lab, we are going to be
making a video tape of this lecture tomorrow Wednesday (8/24). All
newcomers are welcome to attend. The taping will start at 2 pm in CIS 101.
After attending this lecture, those wishing to use the lab will still need
to get their paperwork in order and go on a safety tour. We will probably
schedule a safety tour for early next week. After tomorrow's taping, the
plan is to stop offering live Safety Training Lectures. Instead, new lab
users will view the video tape followed by a written quiz.

Subject: Electrical power outage
Message-ID: <39A6C504.C9CE4D1A@snf.stanford.edu>


A new date has been established for the previously schedule electrical
power shutdown.  The NEW date and time is September 15th at 9:00 AM. 
This event is scheduled to be complete by 9:30 AM on the 15th.  There
will be follow up messages regarding computer shutdowns and SNF lab
equipment shutdowns in the near future.

As a reminder, this shutdown is necessary so that PG&E can make repairs
and modification to the Panama Street - Via Palou substation.  At the
end of this year or early next year there will be another shutdown to
put things back into their normal configuration.

If you have any questions on this topic please feel free to ask.

Hi,
I need to do a high temperature piranha clean on borofloat glass. I would
like to do it in a quartz beaker to avoid sodium ion contamination from the
pyrex glass. Does anybody know a good source for quartz beaker?

Thank you for your help,
