And Squirrels, Oh My

Somebody must have heard my Berkeley technology rants because if you actually look on the left of your "BearMail" log in screen you will see this announcement:

There will be a new look to BearMail on July 25th when we replace the software currently running BearMail with a new upgraded product. The new software, SquirrelMail, will give users more features and options than the previous application.

The only thing worse than having all these "bears" to keep track of (sidenote: I know grades are up on BEARfacts, but did they put them up on InfoBEARS as well? And when the hell do we register for classes on teleBEARS) is to have other animals thrown into the mix. If only they could assign animal names to various "offices" on campus. Career services would surely be the sloth.

Predictably, the website of Student Information Services (the office responsible for unleashing this zoo upon us) is down.
