Hi All,

A number of things have happened over the last few days, here they are in 
no particular order:

-We now have a new air-con in the machine room. It's a 5.3KW Kelvinator 
in-window unit. It is very heavy. It is very large. It is very cool. And 
it is white. It shall be called Antarctica. Thanks to Chris Squire and 
Matt Didcoe for helping with the installation and transport, especially 
Chris who sacrificed his ute to the cause.

-Martello and Mooneye are back at UCC. We had some problems with 
networking, loose power connectors, and busted fans on martello - but 
everything is working now! Thanks Matt Didcoe, James French, James 
Andrewartha, and Matt Johnston.

-The clubroom is slowly being pieced back together. The biggest part of 
this is scrubbing the old glue off the floorboards. One person who I would 
like everyone to thank is Sam "Matches" Moore. He has come in time after 
time and been on his hands and knees for hours scrubbing the floor. This 
is f***ing hard work, and I take my hat off to him. We aim to have the 
clubroom *finished* on Friday, but we need help. The clubroom will be open 
a fair bit over the next two days, if you're free, please come and help.

-Now that Martello and Mooneye are back, we have a clubroom network again, 
and wireless should work (or will follow very soon). Most other 
remote services are back up.

-Things that are not up: dispense/snack/door, webcams, co-lo boxes, and 
printers. This is not an exhaustive list.
