Senior and Junior Co-ordinators please inform the populace.

–Bloodfist out.

at 9:30AM IST on 7th July, exunclan.com was successfuly moved to a new server location near Utah State University in the States.

members.exunclan.com will be added soon to the DNS, and account request will begin from 8th July.

Thanks.

I finally joined in !!! !!!!

Hello,

exunclan.com will be going through a server transition on July 7th 2004, at 9PM IST.

In case anybody is using the current IP to connect to the website, you will require to update your records, or just be smart and use the domain name.

However, no other significant changes will be made. Karan will still be able to leave the current settings for Blogger (i.e. FTP).

An important change however is how email will be handled on the exunclan.com domain. Most exun members are entitled to getting an email address, and can request the names they would like. There is obviously a limit on how many users the system can accomodate, hopefully everybody gets atleast one address.

In an ongoing effort to make Exun members more net savvy (woah!), most of you (if not everyone) will be able to get a personal URL in case you need.

I haven’t decided what it’ll be, but I’m likely to attend the meeting on the 7th of July to discuss some possibilities.

Just a thought : http://members.exunclan.com/~username

Anyhow, Cheers.

All Exun members must attend the meeting on Wednesday during Break time in Computer Lab IV. Any change in meeting time and venue (if there is any) shall be posted right here.

Questions in the Comments shall be answered at the earliest.

Senior and Junior Co-ordinators please inform the populace.

Exun^{We take printouts}

This is your President. Listen up.

There’s a competition on the aforementioned date. Here are the details.

They have four events (highly convenient):

• Computer Symposium (basically, speaking on a topic)
  
• Quiz
  
• Gaming
  
• Web Designing
  

Events are taking place starting at 9.30 am and ending at 2.30 pm. One day only, again highly convenient. My calendar tells me that 28^th is a Wednesday.

Download the Details of Computer Symposium here

Download the Details of Quiz, Gaming, Web Designing here

Download the Schedule here

Since they don’t have a website, I’ve had to scan the letter they sent us. If the files that I’ve posted aren’t readable for some reason, leave a note in the comments, I shall clarify doubts. One highly noticeable omission from this event is that of any programming event. I shall say no more. There are more eyes on this log than I’m comfortable with.

Those who wish to participate, please leave a note in the comments (with email address).

Have a good day and best of luck with the exams,

–Karan
