one of their UPS devices.  They are currently waiting for the smoke to
clear, then they will bypass the device and restore power to the PoP.

August

13th - New, yet-to-be-named Encom server arrives. Contains an 'assload' of storage - 8x500GB disks. Also has 6GB RAM and 2 dual-core Xeons. For some reason came with ubuntu feisty desktop installed by default, and has lots of pretty blue lights. Will be set up any day now.

September

-The new Encom server goes through about a dozen names, before finally settling on minerva.redbrick.dcu.ie, which apparently is "horribly lame".

-/webtree is moved to minerva. No one notices, or is told.

-Moju resigns as helpdesk, citing a dislike of helping people.

October

1st - Redbrick give computing students CDs to install java with class paths and other difficult stuff set up. This is generally considered a good idea, until lots of them manage to break it.

Our treasurer(Mythe) is told to step down by the SPC, as he is no longer a current student. Another helpdesk (castle) resigns.

Helpdesk got 2 new additions namely Padraig O’Connor (landa2)and David O Laigheanain (coconut). There was also three proposed constitutional changes. Only 2 of these however got passed these being First Year Rep and having to pass the Helpdesk test. The proposed change to reduce the number of Education Officers from one to three was defeated.
