New 2010 Onoto Fountain Pen
New 2010 Onoto Pens are now available. What better way to mark a significant event than with a magnificent Onoto pen which bears the University of Cambridge shield on the top of the pen cap and, optionally, the shield of your college in full colour, embedded into the end of the barrel. All pens have the words 'University of Cambridge 2010' engraved around a sterling silver band plated in 23ct gold on the cap. Options include gold plated, silver and black acrylic.

Service Issue 15:30 - 16:00
Posted 16:13 16-Jul 2010
We suffered an intermittent service issue today between 15:30 and 16:00 when one of our webservers encountered a software fault. This fault caused the primary database server to get caught up answering requests from the faulty webserver and unable to process its normal load. As a result some of you would have received very slow or intermittent responses from the server during this time.
Once the webserver was rebooted the service was fully restored.
[edit]Update: Issue started at 15:30, not 15:45 as originally reported.
