All, you most likely experienced severe problems yesterday.
The cause of these problems, was a cable plugged into two network ports at the laptop workstation areas.
Please take care NOT to bridge network ports, it brings the entire subnet to its knees.

Hello (CSE) World,
Early this afternoon officially marks the grand opening of the UW ACM Coke Closet!!! Yes you heard that right! Located in our very own undergraduate lounge in the basement of CSE lies a delicious amount snacks, soda, and frozen mini-meals. Of course, (like all great things in life), these items come at a slight cost, but on average half that of most on campus vendors! Yes, that is right! Affordable and Convenient items right in our basement in these hard times of HUB closure.
In order to provide this department defining service, as a patron of the coke closet thy must adhere to the following commandments:
1.) Thou shall not steal!
Prices are clearly labeled by the item, no student discounts, don’t guess! We are serious. We keep very very careful records. If we lose money everyone loses the beloved coke closet. Don’t try, you never know who will be lurking around at 4:00am… The consequences will not be light…
2.) Thou shall not carry negative tabs!
Tabs are still in! That is right, you don’t need exact change to make purchases, but there are definitely no IOUs. We recommend buying over time off of $5 dollar tab deposits. We have temporary tab sheets until we get in new ones next week. Please put your Name and CSE ID at the top of a tab sheet and transfer to the new tab sheets when they come in.
3.) Thou shall cherish the Coke Closet!
Yes, it’s there, cheap stuff, and all profits go strait back to you threw awesome ACM events and free stuff.
A small order exists now, but more will come soon. Muffins will be in next order. Right now enjoy frozen chimichangas, candy bars, crackers, fruit snacks, of course soda, and much much more. (also saw some Mexican Cane Soda, thats right, a glass bottle, the best $1 i have ever spent!)
Please email absolutely any questions to myself, acm-officers@cs, or find an ACM officer.
Enjoy!

PS: Go Huskies!
We strongly urge all CSE undergrads who might be looking for employment after earning their degree (are we leaving anyone out?) to attend our CSE Autumn Career Events.
Not only do these four events feature vital employment information for all future CSE job seekers, but most will be presented by the high-tech hiring managers who eventually will be making the decisions on your applications!
Event 1: Employer Panel
Date/Time: Wednesday, October 6, 2010 5:30-6:30pm
Place: EE125
Our first career event of autumn will provide an overview of the job search process from both the CSE student and employer perspective. No reservations are necessary, but do come prepared with you questions! Our outstanding panelists include:
Tam Armstrong, CSE alum, Animation Engineer for Bungie (where they just shipped Halo: Reach). Tam knows high-tech employment from all sides and will give you the inside scoop on how to go from the CSE classroom to your dream job.
Brian Ma, CSE alum and grizzled veteran of Seattle-area startups—Co-founder of PriceYeti.com, a cool new startup. Brian will let you in on how you can use smaller companies to build your career and/or retire early.
Joni Kimzey, hiring manager for Tableau Software, one of the nation’s 500 fastest growing tech companies will give you vital guidance from the high-tech employer perspective.
A Microsoft Representative (To be Determined). We can’t leave out these guys! Each year we try to include a CSE alum who is in a key position with our largest local high-tech employer.
Dawn Wiggin, UW College of Engineering Co-op Office. Internships can be an important step on the path to full time employment. Dawn will provide some key advice on how internships might fit for you.
The panel is meant to be general — while the company representatives may provide some level of self-promotion, their focus will be on providing a peek inside the recruiting process so our students will know how to best prepare. In other words you should attend even if you are not considering employment at the specific companies represented. You should also attend this event even if you won’t be considering full time employment in the next year or more. Early planning is the best way to get from A to B!
Our moderator will be Dave Rispoli rispoli@cs.washington.edu , the PMP adviser. Dave is also assisting with our other ugrad career events. He’s the best point of contact for any questions about these events.
