Recently we have become affiliated with the Computer and Information Sciences department and are now pleased to announce our first lunchtime talk!
The first talk will be given by Dr Marc Roper, a reader with the Software Systems Group, who will be giving a broad overview of the research he does.
The talk will take place this coming Thursday (9/02) at 1300 in the LT14.15 seminar room. The talk itself will start at 1310 and last for approximately 30-45 minutes giving people time to come from and get to classes. All going well, we aim to host these talks every second week.
Location: LT14.15, Livingstone Tower
Time: 1pm
Date: 09/02/12
I hope to see you all there! |

First of all, welcome back to the second semester! I hope all of your exams have gone well.
We have some exciting news and events planned for the next couple of months. As some of you already know, GeekSoc has become the official society of the Computer and Information Sciences department. This formalises our relationship with the CIS department, and has led to us being able to organise lunchtime talks by members of staff, more details of which will follow shortly.
Our first meeting of the year will be on Thursday 2nd February in the L5 Union Lounge at 6pm where we will be hosting an end-of-exams gaming event. Our Xbox 360 will be there as always, as well as our Minecraft, Terraria and Unreal Tournament servers.
As always, if you have any projects you'd like to see GeekSoc attempt or get involved with, then please get in touch and come along!
Location: L5 Lounge, Union
Time: 6pm
Date: 02/02/12
Hope to see you there! |

Service Disruptions & New Servers |
|

There have been a couple of disruptions to GeekSoc services the past couple of days.
Yesterday the network switch connected to several of our servers had a fan die, necessitating it's removal. This caused an interruption to the primary NFS server causing problems with some people's irssi sessions on shell.
Today it was decided to replace the broken switch with a Cisco Catalyst we recently received. As this would cause further interruption we decided to bite the bullet and use this time to switch over to our new shell and storage servers.
Although this has killed any running processes on shell, and resulting in the host keys changing we now have 10 times the amount of storage, ~8 times the amount of RAM and two Xeon processors available for use :) Network speeds should also be much improved.
If any software you want or need is missing from the new shell, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
There will be a further interruption to the network in the near future when we finally get the gigabit switch up and running, but I promise to give you some notice!
Sorry for the inconvenience. |
