Engineering Hoodies & T-Shirts
The Engineering club has been assigned to selling these. The University is subsidizing these, and giving us a small cut, to be later spent on beer/pizza/etc.
Hoodies are $30 each
T-Shirts are $13 each
To get one, email Josh
Pictures to come soon
The year 2011
This is the year that the Engineering Club is really going to take off, we have events organised, are looking for funding and sponsorship and have ideas we can use.
The only thing holding us back right now is time, the current exec (and possibly this years exec also) don’t have enough time to organize these events all the time so we are asking that if you have some spare time you are willing to donate to helping your fellow Engineer out please speak up.
We are looking for people to make a few calls, talk to some people and come up with events ideas, no major undertakings but even a small help makes a huge difference to us.
If you are willing to help please contact either Luke or Michael any way you know how or you can email us at luke.f@vec.org.nz or michael.b@vec.org.nz
Many thanks in advance.
Webserver relocated
Yesterday, the VEC Website working bee met to transition the VEC website over to Interface systems.
Interface, which recently merged with VEC, has servers graciously hosted on campus by ECS.
For those technical folk who are interested, we:
- Updated the vec.org.nz ‘A’ DNS record to point to the Interface gateway.
- Installed WordPress on the Interface webserver
- Imported the WordPress data and theme from the old server to the new one.
- Updated Interface‘s webserver to make vec.org.nz public
And here we are.
Hello.World();
This is it; you made it. Behold the (new) official blog for the Victoria University of Wellington Engineering Club. This is the source for any goings-on in the VEC realm including, but far from limited to, future and past events, internal updates (read sqabbling) and academia-related information.
There are two other ways to keep yourself in the proverbial ‘loop’ – the VEC forum, and the VEC Facebook group. Both of these provide an opportunity for you to impart your $0.02 be it ideas for events, comments on what’s happening, or a cry for help (tech or course-related).
- The Forum – The forum is hosted on the ECS servers as part of the ECS forums. It’s available to anyone with an ECS computing account (if you can log onto machines in the ECS labs, you’ve got one).
- Facebook – www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110116106756&ref=ts : VEC’s presence on the industry-standard procrastination tool. Feel free to post your pics of events and join in discussions.
Confused? Don’t be – any crucial updates will be posted to all three locations.
So stay posted and we’ll get you something juicy soon.
