Well for those unaware the results of our CS fun last night were:

Counterstrike Tournament

Tue 11 Mar

This Friday (Week 10), The Computing Society will be holding a Counterstrike gaming tournament in aid of Comic Relief.

3D Graphics Tutorials

Ahead of the 3D graphics tutorials starting tomorrow I have put up the slides and some links on my web-site, you can find it all here.

CompSoc Exec 2003-2004

Sun 23 Feb

The elections for next year's CompSoc Exec were held at the LAN. The results are as follows:

LAN signups

Sun 09 Feb

Oops! Sorry, we meant Sunday in the newsletter for LAN signups. Everything else stands, though - and signups are open now - just select the LAN from the list on the right on the website.

New server! Yay!

Thu 30 Jan

We are pleased to announce that our games server, insomnia, has (eventually) been installed onto the Piazza network. We are in the process of setting it up to provide numerous services, including a variety of games servers. If you have any suggestions for games or other facilities this server could provide, do not hesitate to contact the exec.

Signup Quicker

Mon 27 Jan

The signup process just got even quicker! Now, instead of wading through the menu of the left, finding the event, going to the 'Options' page - you just drop-down the list, and click. "But where is this?", you ask. On the homepage, of course - just to the right of the news items!

Let the LAN...

Sun 12 Jan

...commence! In less than a week, CompSoc will be holding the first LAN for this term - and we want you there. Starting next Friday 8pm, and going on until Sunday 10pm, with signups up at 12 noon today! Expect the usual fun, with up to 32 people in the room, and lots of multiplayer games - it's certainly an unique atmosphere.

Christmas

Wed 25 Dec

Yes, it's here again. It's that time of year when you wrap lots of things up one night, only for them to be unwrapped the next morning. Anyway, I'm just here to say one thing: Happy Christmas!

Term 1; end.

Thu 05 Dec

And so, term 1 comes to a close. We hope you enjoyed it, and are all ready for the new year! Keep an eye out for events we are planning for next term, and be sure to send in any suggestions you have to the exec.

No, we're not dead...

Sat 09 Nov

...instead, we're planning like mad, to bring you more varied and better events. For your perusal this time, the LAN, Bowling, Tutorials and the Linux Users' Group (LUG). LAN: From 8pm Friday 22nd Nov (end of week 8), untill 10pm Sunday 24th. That's 50 hours, folks! Signup for your place from 12pm today (Saturday). Bowling: Planned for sometime in week 9, more details to come later. Signup if you're interested. Tutorials: Want to learn Perl? PHP? These and others are all possibilities for talks in term 2. LUG: The LUG will be handing out Linux demo CDs at the end of the CS120 lecture on Tuesday week 8 (hopefully). Turn up, or e-mail the lug to get your hands on a copy now! (the CDs don't require any changes to your PC, so anyone can try in out)

New LAN guides

Thu 17 Oct

In anticipation of this weekend's LAN, I've written two guides about how compsoc LANs work and what you should bring to them.

LAN and OSP

Mon 14 Oct

Just 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.

Molotov Access

Sun 13 Oct

Over 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.

Welcome

Wed 09 Oct

Welcome to the University of Warwick Computing Society's Webpage!

v2 Arrives

Mon 30 Sep

And, finally, it's here. The new version of the CompSoc website... and by Bob it's taken some effort. I expect it will be a bit odd to navigate at first, since the main changes have been to do with the organisation of the pages - hopefully it's a bit more logical now (yeah, I wish :) ). As always, you find something broken, incorrect, or just any comments generally, send them on the back of a postcard, to J.G.Ross@warwick.ac.uk.

Email on molotov

Mon 26 Aug

Email on molotov is sorted. You can send and receive email if you have a molotov account, using your normal molotov username and password. You can even send and receive it securely, with the connection between your computer and molotov all nice and encrypted. For details, see this document

Molotov MkII

Fri 23 Aug

By the time you all read this, the new server will be installed and working fine (I hope!). If there are any problems with the new setup, please mail me. Those of you with dynamic PHP scripts will need to change them; for details, go to http://www.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/molotov/php.cps. We will, at some point, have pages further detailing the services that Molotov MkII will offer you.

Replacement server

Tue 20 Aug

In order to provide better services for our members in the coming academic year, we're intending to replace the machine that is currently being 'molotov' with a brand new, sparkling, funky server. Or something. Anyway, the net effect is that services will be unavailable for a period from about 5pm onwards on Thursday (22nd) until midday-ish on Friday (23rd). Any changes made to data on molotov (eg IRC and user accounts) may not be stored. I will post another news item once everything's done. Mail me with any problems or queries.

Email on molotov

Wed 14 Aug

Those of you who use molotov for your email will have noticed that email's been broken for a week or two. This is now fixed. Email posted to @warwickcompsoc.co.uk will be delivered correctly. Users wishing to post by using molotov should set their mail client to use smtp authentication with their molotov username and password, on port 8025. POP3 still works as normal on port 110. Email compsoc@warwick.ac.uk if you have any queries.
