New LAN guides
Posted on 17th October 2002In anticipation of this weekend's LAN, I've written two guides about how compsoc LANs work and what you should bring to them.
If you've not been to a compsoc LAN before, have a read of the 'What to do' guide. If you have, you may still find the 'What to Bring' guide handy.
See you all Saturday!
LAN and OSP
Posted on 14th October 2002Just a reminder for those who don't know; we're holding a LAN party this weekend, from 10am Saturday until 10pm Sunday. So for all you guys who expressed an interest at the Fresher's Fair, why not bring your PC along, and try kicking our arses? Details on the social events page.
Our OSP (Open Source Project) is coming along ok, but we need a new one this year... we're holding a discussion (ok, argument more like) in Cholo 3pm this Wednesday. This meeting is to discuss the relative merits of the ideas put f...
Molotov Access
Posted on 13th October 2002Over the past week, and it particular on Saturday 12th, the network connection between the Students' Union building (where Molotov is located) and the rest of the University network has been having some problems. It should be noted that Molotov has been up and running the whole time, although access to it has been intermittent. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, but unfortunately this situation is beyond our control.
