Commissioning and running of sPHENIX

[Jamie Nagle <jamie.nagle AT colorado.edu>]

Hello  All - particularly those of you  staying at BNL,

A few quick updates.

1.   Housing has ordered yet another five Mifi boxes that should arrive mid-week.     If you are one of the sPHENIXians with bad internet and do not have a Mifi box or access to a nearby Cradle Router,  this is another soon-to-be option.   If you have a Mifi box and are leaving, please let me know before you  return it to housing.  The 5G work continues, and they are now estimating more like the end of June, and I believe that is June 2024 not June 2025 :)

2.   My  apartment is now being invaded by ants - fun!     If you have a similar issue, you can call housing and an exterminator will drop off ant traps -- see picture below.     They  seem to be stemming the invasion.

3.   People always have questions about drinking the water in the apartments.     I  have tested my own apartment water a few times, and all levels look normal.     I have some extra test strips if you want to use one.

Sincerely,

Jamie
