I am the chief Systems Administrator for the Michtom School of Computer Science at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts.

This has led to me being called "Systems Administrator", "Network Manager", "Network Administrator", and other, less polite names.

If you've landed here, and you have a question, you would likely be best served by going to guru's webpage. If you have a question that only I can answer, and you don't have my contact information, ask guru how to get in touch with me. (Note: Over 90% of the time questions or problems that "Only I can answer" can be answered faster and just as effectively by guru.)

For information in the event of a service outage (planned or not), check motd (/etc/motd on all managed shell servers), and guru's webpage. For a list of public shell servers, check guru's webpage.

If you have a question that is not answered by a visit to guru's webpage, contact guru and ask that the answer be added to guru's webpage.

Faculty and Staff who've landed here wanting to get in touch with me should know how to do so. If in doubt, ask the department office for help.
