Recent MySQL Problems on Molotov
Tue 13 Feb 2007
MySQL should now be fully functioning again if you've only been using MyISAM tables (the default). If you've been using InnoDB tables, your database should still exist, however you may have to restore data/table layouts from backups. If you don't have a recent backup or don't have access to your database, please contact techteam@uwcs.co.uk.

Tue 13 Feb 2007
Our second LAN of term is now up on the events page. Note that as we are in a smaller room and we're not sure of power requirements, signups for this event will be limited to 30 at first.

Fri 12 Jan 2007
Richard asked how WUGLUG’s XING event had managed to clash with console gaming sessions. No one had commented on Richard’s emails; are the exec on the WUGLUG list?

Just to let you know that the Linux User Group is organising a "pub social":http://www.uwcs.co.uk/society/events/details/679 this Wednesday.
