Sorry for the yet more downtime. This is once gain due to ITS and the Onion being lame and changing settings/dieing respectively.
An angry mob will be formed shortly to deal with the problem on a permanent basis, just as soon as Draconas can aquire AK-47's for everybody.

Form has been sent in. We'll have a computer and a monitor for showing stuff. Phil will contact Onion to find out when our stall will be.

h4. Budget

Phil will contact the person responsible on Monday to find out how much we actually have been allocated.

Those who have net access (heh) should be around on IRC lots to welcome the new people....

Apologies for the Molotov downtime this morning. This was due to the University moving Molotov into a VLAN and not telling us. As a result of this, we had to change Molotov's default gateway within the University network. Things should be back to normal now.

It has come to our notice that a few people have been getting mail errors. This is due to the fact that a weasel stole our POP server. This will be shortly fixed, by virtue of Si1entDave and DrWatson comandeering a Land Rover Defender, and going off-road to steal it back again. As is right and proper, we will be following the lessons learnt from the A-Team, and customising the vehicle. This will include the addition of both CB and UHF radios, increasing of the ground clearance, and adding a large M16 minigu...

Molotov appears to be suitably stable once again, after swapping a faulty component. Needless to say, the CompSoc Technical Team will keep an eye on things to make sure everything continues to work.

In other news, the Mega-LAN was had! And lo, there was much Goodness. Photos are here: LAN piccies. Enjoy!

Finally, have a good summer, everyone - see you next year!

h4. BBQ

Turn up at about 16:30 (on the Sunday) and bring your own food and drink.

Directions: Possibly the best way to reach the site is to head for the health centre at the side of Rootes P block and continue down towards the lake.

As many of you will have noticed, Molotov has crashed for the second time in quick succession. Luckily, the Technical Team were able to get in to the server room and restart things within a few hours.

We are not certain as to the cause of the failure at this stage. However, we have replaced a suspected faulty component with a known good one. We will continue to monitor the situation, and take any steps necessary to guarantee availablitity of CompSoc services.

It is likely that Molotov will suffer from a s...

Molotov has now been upgraded with the components left over from the Insomnia upgrade. Thus our servers are now:
Molotov
AMD Duron 950
512Megs PC133 RAM

Insomnia
AMD XP2200+
1024 Megs PC2300 DDR RAM

There will probably be a Molotov reboot in the next little while, when we upgrade the kernel so we can use lm-sensors to find out how hot its getting. Other than that the latest round of upgrades is pretty much finished. The VPN works, the new IRCd is running smoothly, and the hamsters are running fast enough ...
