The annual CS Club Picnic will be held in Magnolia Park in Rohnert Park. Directions: Go south from SSU along Bodega Parkway in the direction of Starbuck's and Quizno's, keep going for a block, take a right onto Middlebrook, and you're there.

Burgers and sodas will be provided. Everything else is pot luck. Feel free to bring something to share.

The Press Democrat had an article about CS340 (Security and Malware) in this morning's paper.

You can read the article on the Pee Dee website.

Teams of Students, Faculty, and Alumni will be facing off in the annual Computer Trivia Contest hosted by Professor Ledin on Saturday, May 2nd at 6:00 PM in Stevenson 1002.

LAN PARTY on May Day! Ryan is going to try to get Left 4 Dead on the machines.

The fun will officially start at 7PM in Darwin basement rooms 25 and 28.

The entry fee is $5. Pay Travis or Ryan ahead of time so we know how much PIZZA!!! to get. The CS Club meetings are a good time to sign up.

The contest is over. There were 13 student teams this year and 1 alumni/staff team joining in just for fun.

In the 115/215 bracket, the winning teams were:

1. Mack Blacksmith and Will Raus
2. Kyle Deitrick and Henry Grayson
3. Steven McDonald and Stephanie Schmidt

In the 315/415 bracket:

1. Devon Garber and Doug Horn totally pwned the competition, solving 5 of the 6 problems within the time limit. No other team got more than 3.
2. Forest Hovarth and Ryan O'Donnell
3. Mike King and David Turover

Last Year's results.

You must sign in ahead of time to participate. The sign-up sheet is in the CS Department office.

The LAN party has been rescheduled to Feb 27 @ 7:00 PM. This is so we have more time to advertise and raise awareness for the event to ensure as many people show up as possible.

• CS Club meetings will be every other Tuesday in the Darwin basement as usual, with announcements to the contrary going out to the mailing list.

• Ryan is hosting our first Movie Night at his house on Friday, Feb. 6 at 7pm. Movie nights are likely to continue the first Friday of every month, but please get confirmation at a meeting or from the site before you show up at someone's house.

• Our first LAN party is in a couple of weeks. We plan to have them the third Friday of every month, and we'll figure something out for April when that would be during break. Also, the Smash Brothers tournament was popular last year so we plan to do that again.

• The CS Colloquium is hosting a speaker every week. The presentations are listed on the site calendar. Notify the webmaster if there is an error or if another department is hosting a presentation on a CS-related subject.

• The Nerd-A-Thon is a series of competitions between the different schools of sciences in Darwin Hall. More information will be forthcoming about what the events are and when and where they will take place.

• Ryan and Crazy Joe are getting their Wayne's World thing going on with a cable access TV show called Game Time. They'll be reviewing video games and goofing off. The show will be on Access Healdsburg and downloadable through UStream.

• Gina in the CS office is in contact with an elementary school in Santa Rosa that would like the CS Club to give some kind of Computer Science presentation to elementary school students for an hour. They would prefer something about robotics. Talk to Travis if you're interested.

• Saturday, March 21st is Seawolf Day. The labs will be open for next year's freshmen who are considering CS as a possible major.

• Tia Watts will be hosting a programming contest later in the semester.

• George Ledin will be hosting a Computer Science trivia contest. It was fun last year. The trivia questions are contributed by the students, so send him your questions!

• We are still looking for T-Shirt designs. If you have an idea for a Computer Science t-shirt, draw it up and send it to Travis.

• We are also looking for ideas for beginning-of-semester funding to replace the cable making service we used to run. The campus is going fully wireless so cabling is going to become obsolete.

• Our forums need more users. Register an account and post things of interest to share.

• We will be having an end-of-year party, but we'll hold off on planning that for later.
