I had a couple frustrating calls with Columbia facility about trying to make the temperature more reasonable. It's currently about 65°F, and it would be more reasonable to have it targeted around 73°F or 74°F (sorry to the people who use reasonable units -- it's better to communicate with folks around here in °F). My second call was a bit more fruitful than the first, in that i spoke with someone named Javier who said he'd created a ticket in the Columbia University facilities system. But he couldn't tell me the ticket number unless i had a University ID (a "Uni"). He offered to assign the ticket to anyone who did have a Uni, and was willing to send it to Richard Darst. So Richard, if you get the ticket ID for that, it might be useful for following up. I spoke with two other facilities workers who happened to pass by, and they each said that they couldn't do anything about it, and that it would take a long time to get a response. Apparently, the room's temperature is administered centrally by the "control shop", but we don't have direct access to them. Anyway, if you're in Carleton, and anyone from facilities comes by to check out the room, please tell them we want the temperature to be targeted at 74°F, and report back to the list with the situation. thanks, --dkg PS we should be aware that on previous visits, there was no cooling at all, and it was an oven. We do *not* want to tell them to turn off the cooling in Carelton Lounge.
