Arrangements for IMAX

Posted on 8th May 2009

Good afternoon!

This is just a final note before tomorrow's trip to watch Star Trek tomorrow to confirm some final details. Hopefully, you've all bought your tickets by now (though there are still some available, according to their website). If you elected to collect your ticket from the box office, it might be advisable to make a note of the reference number before leaving tomorrow.
As there is no allocated seating, if we wish to sit together we will probably need to arrive quite early, and as such we're...

Server Migration (APRIL FOOLS' JOKE)

Posted on 1st April 2009

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all having a cracking Easter! Not too much going on events wise, but those cracking guys in the techteam have been hard at work planning for something quite big. In light of recent events with regard to the rise of the Conficker worm, we have decided to migrate our servers to Windows Server 2008. It was a tough decision but we couldn't leave the security of our servers at risk any longer. Patches which fix the vulnerability for Microsoft's Windows operating system have existed sinc...

Term 2 LAN 2

Posted on 4th March 2009

Once again we hit that time of term when a weekend can be wholly devoted to the honest, clean and outdoors fun of a good LAN party. For those of you who haven't been before (or in a little while), you might want to read the what to do [0] and bring [1] guides on the website, an indispensable tool for all potential attendees. I would also like to draw your attention to the Pizza Order [2] on the website, which we'll be making from Dominos and should arrive 9 or 10PM on Friday. At 50% off, there surely can't ...
