The F04 CSC Programming Contest is underway. Go to
the website for more information.
The Fall 2004 elections have occured. We have a new
executive.
Here is the audio for Professor Buss'
talk: Game Complexity Theorists Ponder, in mp3 format. Enjoy!
Audio has been added for the Larry Smith talk: Computing's Next Great
Empires. It is available in OGG
format or in MP3 format.
Thanks to all who came out. The talk was a great success.
The CSC elections took place and we have a new executive for Spring 2004.
perpugilliam has been restored, with two new disks courtesy of
MathSoc and MEF. There are now disk quotas for users, with a 250 MB
soft quota and a 500 MB hard quota, with a 14-day grace period.
carbonated-water is back up. It now runs as the backup mail
exchange and also serves a a slave LDAP server. What this means is
that if perpugilliam goes down, your mail will not be dropped
and you'll still be able to login to other machines.
perpugilliam will be going down for hardware upgrades on
2004-04-16 to 2004-04-19. We thank MathSoc and MEF for their
generous support in purchasing this hardware, and apologise for
any inconvenience this downtime will cause.
Pictures of
CTRL-D
are available in the gallery.
glucose-fructose is back on-line. It has a new 120 GB hard disk,
a new power supply, and an nVidia GeForce FX 5900.
glucose-fructose will be going down for hardware upgrades on
2004-04-02 for an indeterminate amount of time. We thank MathSoc and
MEF for their generous support in purchasing this hardware, and
apologise for any inconvenience this downtime will cause.
Kernighan came to Waterloo, and the Computer Science Club got our books
signed by him. Not only that, but we took
photographs
of him too.
The books that we purchased have arrived. Now we have two books that
can be signed by Kernighan when he comes.
We voted 15 to 0 to 0 in favour of changing the
constitution to follow MathSoc
policy. An updated copy of the document is now online.
perpugilliam went down over the weekend due to a failing disk.
Please back up all your important data as it is starting to go bad.
We are trying to acquire a replacement.
carbonated-water, h2o, is back down. It's awaiting
a new power supply.
The CSC elections took place and we have a new executive for Winter 2004.
The CSC elections took place and we have a new executive for Fall 2003.
carbonated-water, h2o, is back up. It's a great machine
for reading mail on.
The CSC Procedures manual has been added to the website. Thanks go to
Shannon Mann for reminding us of this document.
We've finally gotten around to disabling accounts. If you find your
account has been improperly disabled please email
the executive. We are
keeping a back up of the files and mail for each disabled account for
a short period of time.
Jim Elliott gave a great talk for the CSC yesterday and has put his slides
online.

We have been notified by the Guelph Computer Club that they are unable
to host our group event. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We have a new computer called glucose-fructose, or sugar
for short. As a result, carbonated-water is temporarily out of
service, although it should return within a month.
The CSC elections took place and we have a new executive for Spring 2003.
The CSC elections took place and we have a new executive for Winter 2003.
Due to lack of time for preparation, the Romp Through The Linux Kernel talks were cancelled.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully these talks will happen next term.
The business meeting of 2002-09-30 was concluded and the constitutional
change was approved with a 14:2 majority (and one spoiled
ballot). See the new constitution.
The Fall elections have occured and the results are in.
We've changed to the new site! Please send your comments to the webmaster. The old site is still available. A few things may not
be working quite right yet, but I'm working on it.
Added books! About 2.5 shelves are
there, minus a whole lot that weren't readily accessible from the
Library of Congress. Getting all of the books on there is going to
be a tough job. These are, by the way, managed by good-old (or new?)
CEO. Thanks to Ryan Golbeck and Petio for their hard work getting
ISBN numbers onto disc.
Added a bunch of old events and some documents, including the constitution.
Added the membership list. Old events are working. Event terms, as
well as the current term are determined automagically now. Lots of
work done. Some more stubs up (office etc.). And I introduce cow -
that is, the CSC Ontological Webalizer - which is just a wrapper
around libxslt with some extra xpath functions. It is now what is
being used to build the site, instead of xsltproc.
About/Memberlist stub up. Made the CSC logo gold. Isn't it nifty?
XML goodness.
