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:
# You do NOT have to be a member of paintball society.
# 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.

Complete details (including what and how to pay) are at http://www.drac...

h4. Joint Paintball Game With Paintball Society

The Warwick Paintball society is organising its second game of the term for the weekend at the end of week 9, the weekend after the LAN and we are hoping to make it a joint event between us and paintball.

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...

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 :)

This weekend, it is the first CompSoc LAN party of the year. From Friday evening until Sunday evening, we will be in Lib2, having all sorts of fun playing lots of games and staying up till the wee hours. If you're planning to come along, and you wish to turn up before 9pm, b...

Richard Oakham (Zatneichatel) has put together an excellent page in the LUG wiki on how to use the IT Services hotspots around campus, including getting Linux to co-operate with them. Well worth a look: now you too can IRC from Airfare!

CompSoc have two important social events coming up:

The first LAN party of term is at the end of next week. Signups are full, but don't let that discourage you - someone may well drop out, so it's worth signing up on the reserve list.

Also, on November the 15th, we are going to see The Matrix: Revolutions, only a week after it opens! Signups are now open. Be sure to give your money to an exec member by November the 1st, otherwise we can't book your place.

h4. Servers

This week, we have been plagued by further issues with reliability, all of which have been unrelated to Molotov itself: ITS are migrating to a layer 3 network as well as to a gigabit connection, which has caused a few problems.

As mentioned in previous minutes, there are plans afoot for a new server:
* Molotov becomes the shell server and also hosting othe...
