phpMyAdmin upgrade

Sun 24 Apr 2005

If you can't log in to mysql.uwcs.co.uk (or mysql.warwickcompsoc.co.uk) because it keeps bouncing you back to the login page with no error message, please delete the cookies for that hostname and try again. This is caused by a bug in the previous version of the upstream software, which is now fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Chloe has sorted out bowling and signups close tomorrow morning (19th April) with the event to go ahead on Thursday 21st. Due to the large amount of signups and many people needing lifts, Chloe will email the people going with details of bus times so most people can go on the same bus.

Exec Meetings

Sun 23 Jan 2005

Remember guys and gals, Exec meetings are open to all members. If you've got something you want to say, or you think you can make a contribution, feel free to come along to Union North on Friday at 7pm, and join in. Probably a good idea to tell us in #compsoc beforehand though, in case lack of a room means we have to move it somewhere else. Also, this week is the AGM.

Server Downtime

Fri 07 Jan 2005

As you may be aware there has been significant server downtime recently. This is due to several factors including powercuts and suspected network problems. As of writing this all the servers except from Insomnia are up and we are talking to ITS to resolve this. Further details will follow in the next newsletter.

Insomnia's new IP

Thu 16 Dec 2004

IT Services are migrating Warwick Piazza to public IP addresses (announcement), which includes Insomnia. The new IP is 137.205.71.254 and is now active; DNS has been updated accordingly. Most services should be unaffected but, as always, if you have any problems or questions, please contact the tech team (techteam@uwcs.co.uk).

Insomnia's Back

Thu 09 Dec 2004

Insomnia has been fixed. We managed to get ITS to let us in (Ta Mark Charlton) and now things are back. There was a glitch with the module for the network interface (specifically it managed to escape being built. Oops.) We built the module with the new compiler, loaded it, all was well. Any mail that has been stacking up on servers should now be getting to its destination. For further info feel free to email the Tech Team at TechTeam@uwcs.co.uk or pop into the IRC server and get hold of me, (…

Insomnia Downtime

Wed 08 Dec 2004

Unfortunately, Insomnia, one of the computing society servers is currently non-functional. It went down for a scheduled 2-minute reboot for a kernel upgrade, and never came back. As soon as ITS let us into their server room, it will be fixed. However, given that we're not in term time, getting hold of someone with enough security access who can let us in is proving to be fun. We have a call number, we have a support request, no-one has got back to us yet. Unfortunately, mail for domains hoste…

Compsoc Xmas Dinner

Wed 24 Nov 2004

It is a 3 course set menu, so signup now http://www.uwcs.co.uk/events/details/?id=361 and I look forward to seeing you all there. NeXuS7.

LAN

Wed 17 Nov 2004

Just a reminder that the LAN is at the end of this week and thus everyone should make sure that they have patches/antivirus software up to date (Zephran, we're watching you :-P) in case ITS fail to get the port patched in time again (We are poking them with sticks but they are busy people).

Academic Meeting

Wed 10 Nov 2004

There will be an academic meeting on Wed at 5pm in union north. We haven't got a meeting room, so we're hoping to hax the lounge, if we're not in there, we'll more than likely have the meeting in rootes reception as its normally pretty quiet in there. The meeting will basically be me going "I'm the new academic officer, what do you want me to do" kind of meeting. Anybody is welcome to come along, we would love some fresh ideas :)

Fri 15 Oct 2004

Richard Wilson informed the exec that the server downtime scheduled for this weekend would begin at 1:30 due to the badmintion society having signups for an event this weekend. Richard Wilson then asked if there were any further requests with regards to what time the servers would be taken down, there were none
forthcoming.
