What's going on?

Posted on 29th January 2002

It's week 4 now, and we've already done a lot this term, but don't fear if you've missed out - there's plenty more still to come! We, as always, have our twice weekly gaming sessions at 10pm (9pm in the airport) on Friday and Saturday nights in ITS011 (under L3), and the open source project is still going at 6pm in Meeting Room 6, Union North, every Sunday.

And that's just our regular events... we also have a Laserquest outting planned for Wednesday week 5, and the Allnighter LAN party (including the CompS...

h4. 1. s5

The overall impression of s5 was that it was a good LAN. The main critisism was that the Q3A tourney should have been run earlier, as people lost interest and the tourney ended up fizzling out.

We also borrowed the Anime projector. Depsite the valiant efforts of Jake and James to get the thing up...

This week, Jake drew up the initial Terms of Service. James passed them around and the exec laughed at every point before deciding that they were very good, and that only a few modifications were needed. These were:

s5 has been booked for Week 3. Because Room Bookings are lame, we can't have Friday night. Tom will mail both Room Bookings and the society who have already booked them room, to see what time they finish. If it's a reasonable time then we'll maybe start as soon as they finish.

h4. Meeting Time

Being the start of a brand spanking term, the Timetable Genie has decided to be a little swine and shuffled everyone's free seconds. The largest group of seconds just so happened to land on 4:30 Monday afternoon, and so this is when the exec meetings will be henceforth.

The End of Term

Posted on 8th December 2001

The end of term is upon us, and you've all gone home, and campus is closed. You may be wondering what you're going to do for the next 4 weeks, well, you can hang around on our IRC server, for general chat on #compsoc, or discussing games on #games. You could, of course, help with our open source project Lightbikes 3D - any help is welcome! But, whatever you do in the next 4 weeks, have a good Christmas.

h4. One World Week

We've had some guys from the One World Week ask us if they can use Molotov as their server during said week. We said they can have an account, and the following points were discussed.

* Username - oww
* Java - possible, but not for definite.
* Domain - we can host this if they'd like.
* E-Cards - fair enough.
* SMS - OK if they priv...

New website

Posted on 30th November 2001

Well, here it is at last, the new-look and feel CompSoc website. You should find everything working, including signups for socials! More will be added to the site over the coming weeks, including an updated technical section, and the minutes from exec meetings.

Don't forget the HTML Tutorial on Monday (5pm, Union North) - it's going to cover tables, possibly frames (depends on time) and the most important thing for any website: CSS.
