The Linux User Group had organised a free guest lecture by Dave Jones, a key developer of the Linux kernel, on Wednesday 26th November. Unfortunately it has had to be postponed due to forces beyond our (and his) control. It will be re-arranged for some future time, and announced on the LUG website.

And lo LAN was had. And lo it was good!
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves. If you preferred that room then please register your opinion with the exec.

Thank you to all the exec and other members who helped set everything up and tidy away. Big thanks to DrWatson and Si1entDave for constant efforts fixing everyone?s problems and keeping the network up at the expense of their own gaming and/or sanity.

Next time everyone is to /actually/ run a full virus scan before coming to the LAN. Punishment for failing...

h4. PAINTBALL!!

Hi everybody, reminder that the deadline for signing up for paintball is tomorrow at 2pm.

Just to repeat a few points:

# Cost is £30 for a full day's paintball and 500 rounds of ammunition - this is much cheaper than you will find anywhere else.
# This is a great way to see what paintball is about and you get to shoot me.

What this means is that members of compsoc can sign up for this event without joining paintball soc, because we are students we can get cheaper deals than if you booked separately.

What's on offer is this: only £30...

h4. LAN

A LAN was held. There were problems with the music server, related to the CGIs hogging CPU causing the music to skip. As noted before, the next LAN will be held in B213/4 which is a bit smaller than the LIB rooms. We also have B219 for power leeching and if people want to sleep.
Penalising people for not turning up: at the last L...
