Well, s7 has been and gone, and there was one hell of a lot of ~womm~ing going on... and not just in JK! Expect some good pictures later. While JK2 was certainly the main attraction, other games were played - most notably Dungeon Siege - although there was also lots of Operation Flashpoint action, along with Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, Starcraft and even a bit of Grand Prix 3 and Rollcage.

Now, if you couldn't make s7, or just want even more LANage, watch out for the BFL comming up during week 10... and, l...

h4. Space on H: drive

With the space of the suahu H: drive down to less than 100MB it was agreed that decisive action would be taken and that half-life would be summarily executed....errr deleted from the drive. See item below for details. This fact to be put in the next newsletter.

Once again, molotov needs some downtime. This is just a simple reboot, so all will (should) go as planned. I will be rebooting molotov at 14:00, on Monday, April 29th. Things should be back to (relatively) normal by 14:10. I will post in the newsgroup (uwarwick.societies.computing) when it's all over.

On Wednesday (24th April) morning, from approx 7:15 until 11:45, molotov was not working. This was due to a failed power supply, which has now been replaced. All systems should be back to normal, if not, mail me.

In case there's anyone still in confusion, the signups for S7 - the next big LAN - are open, as of 12:00 today. Spaces are running out, so go signup now.

That's right, the seventh in our line of sleep-reduction...

Well, term 3 is almost upon us, Warwick Piazza almost works, and CompSoc are planning more events as usual... this term we're planning: 2 LANs (one of them will be big), possibly a BBQ (if we can arrange it), and the usual quota of 2 gaming sessions and one open source project meeting a week - that's 27 events total. Oh, and while you're trying to work that calculation out, you would be strongly advised to get yourself a shiny website password, which you'll need for signing up to events from now on.

The email system on Molotov will be going down for upgrades at 10pm on Sunday, 7th April. This only affects you if you have a Molotov account and use it for email. No email should be lost, and all other services will continue without interruption. We expect email to be back up and running by 11pm. If you have any concerns about this, please email me.

After Saturday's incident with the wiener..er..whiner..., we decided that although it wasn't likely to happen again we should get the sign on the door updated to reflect the fact that we have Saturday gam...

Our open source project, Lightbikes 3D is progressing very nicely at the moment, and while it may be hard for coders to join the team at this stage, we would welcome anyone interested in developing levels, playtesting, etc. - just ask on #lb3d on our IRC server.

As you may well be aware, security is a big concern for any publicly visible server, such as Molotov, and our new technical "dude", Phil Stoneman, has been keeping Molotov up to date with all the latest security relases for Linux. However, we would...
