Tue 10 Jul
The migration of molotov to codd is now complete. All user accounts and services have been restored. Unfortunately the migration took a lot longer the anticipated, due to unforeseen circumstances. We sincerely apologies for the delay and any inconveniences caused.

Fri 06 Jul
Earlier today, Codd (the replacement for Molotov) was brought on-line. Our plan was to migrate all data and services across during the course of the afternoon. Unfortunately, while moving user accounts from Molotov, the /etc/passwd file got removed, thus preventing the use of sudo to fix the situation and also any subsequent attempts to log in to the machine. This cannot be resolved till we can gain physical access to Codd - on Monday.

Sun 24 Jun
Unfortunately its been raining heavily this morning rendering the chances of running an effective BBQ in a field nill. It is also likely to continue raining, sometimes heavily, during the day. Consequently we are moving the BBQ to Bucko's house in coventry where we can very easily move to the warm indoors during rainy spells. People on campus will be able to get a lift from Tesco at 12.30. Otherwise there is a "map":http://www.bucko.me.uk/images/maptocrosbie.png, which can be used f…

PAINTBALL!!!!
Tue 12 Jun
Dear all, since some interest was registered in the "Paintball Event":/society/events/details/775 on our website, Compsoc, in coordination with the "Paintball Society":http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/portal/organisation/4204/, will be holding a social on 23rd June.

Sat 02 Jun
As I'm sure many of you are aware, as we approach the end of term 3 we also approach the busiest event in the Compsoc calendar: the BFL / Mega LAN, a 5 day LAN running from Monday 25th June to Friday 29th. This is our most oversubscribed event of the year, and so I am giving you fair warning that signups will be opening at 12:00pm midday on Sunday 3rd June for members and 12:00pm midday on Sunday 10th June for guests. For fellow freshers, be amply warned that the BFL fills up pretty sharpish,…

End of Term Paintball Event
Sun 20 May
The Society is looking at organising an end of term Paintballing event in conjunction with PaintballSoc. At the moment we are looking at how much interest we get from members before confirming it but initial reaction has been positive. Before we can decide how to run the event we need members to decide if they want to do a full day or a half day at the event.
Read more >>Clothing Order
Thu 17 May
There's a "clothing order":/society/events/details/774 up on the website. You can get T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Polo shirts, Hoodies and Fleeces - an unprecedented variety! We have also changed suppliers, so the quality should be higher. Clothing should also arrive before the BFL - so alumni members should have no problem collecting their orders.
