All services will be unavailable while we are cutover - the process will occur sometime during the above window and will take around 45 minutes to an hour for all the configuration changes and testing. Keep an eye on http://twitter.com/ucc_status for update on when services will go down and if there's any delays. Successful completion is assumed and you hopefully won't have to hear about this again (until the new UWA network breaks again). Any issues please email wheel at ucc and we'll investigate. Don't forget, we have an IRC channel - irc://irc.ucc.asn.au/#ucc, details can be found in the Fresher Guide (available from the website) on how to connect. We also have a bookface group if that's your sort of thing.

JavaScript is a fun language, and you probably have the development tools installed on your computer already! Seasoned programmer who thinks web languages are all terrible? jQuery is a great library that makes JavaScript the concise, expressive language it should have been to start with. This tech talk will cover the basics of JavaScript and jQuery so you can begin hacking up your favourite websites, or writing your own interactive web applications. What's covered will depend on the experience of the people who turn up -- starting with basic HTML and CSS if there's interest, or moving on to jQuery plugins and method chaining if people are keen. Start Time: 6:30PM, Wednesday 29th August Where: UCC Clubroom Presented by Scott Young Standard rule apply, Computers are prioritied for tech talk attendees. Keeping noise down for nonattendees etc. Cya There Frames OCM TechTalk Guy From blackknight at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Mon Aug 20 20:02:47 2012 From: blackknight at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (blackknight at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au) Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:02:47 +0800 Subject: [ucc-announce] Digital Rights Forum with Senator Scott Ludlam - Discount Pizza!
