Hopefully the new computing freshers will join up to the Brookes Computing Society. We have set up a few events (inc. a LAN gaming event), and I hope to get a good […]

I have just sorted out the Brookes Computing Society Website:
http://www.brookescomputingsociety.org/
We now have:
A Wiki powered by MediaWiki, which will be the main part of the site
A Forum powered by Vanilla Forum
It is also being hosted by the Computing Department at Brookes. Its on a server called Tardis (a Sun Microsystems Machine powered by Debian).
I guess I […]
