Dave Jones, a coder for the Linux kernel is coming in to give a talk this Wednesday (28th Jan) at 4pm in L4 for the LUG. It's free, and anyone is welcome.

The mysteries of where we keep our gaming servers has finally been unveiled! We now have a page up at /gaming/servers which lists all of our gaming servers, tells you wether they're up and how long they've been up, what map they're on and how many players are using them. If you click the "info" links, you can also see who's on them.

The LUG is hosting a free guest lecture this Wednesday (21st Jan) at 4pm, in L4, by Jason Clifford of ukfsn.org, an ISP which he runs using Linux. All profits of ukfsn.org are used to fund free software in the UK.

Translation: This guy does what many of you will want to do as a career, and he is coming here to talk about it.

Hi, folks, and welcome to CompSoc in 2004!

This term, we have a whole bunch of events planned. Two LAN parties, guest lectures, tutorials, socials, a variety of trips, as well as the usual gaming and pub socials. Keep an eye on the newsletter for information about upcoming events.

Finally, a reminder: pings to or from campus are firewalled by the university, so do not be surprised if they do not work. Also, users in halls will only be able to access IRC on port 6668, not the usual 6667.

Heya folks,

As many of you will have noticed, molotov was inaccessible between about 2am and 8am last night. This was due to the University's Internet connection going down, and was completely outside our control. More information is available on the ITS announcements page, or the uwarwick.its.announce newsgroup.

Additionally, many of you in halls are having trouble accessing our IRC server. Due to a DOS attack from inside the Warwick Piazza network, the University network has been forced to block all req...

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...

We have been informed by Senate House that we are actually in Lib 1 for the LAN party. This is the downstairs room, which means you don't need to lug your computers quite so far :)
