Happy Furlough Day everyone.  I hope none of you forgot that today was Furlough Day because that would suck.

If you haven’t gotten your copy of Windows 7 yet and still want one, please contact Alex.  Please be advise that if you’re using Windows Vista Home Premium or less, you cannot directly upgrade to Windows 7 Professional (you’ll have to do a full installation which will delete all your stuff).

It’ll be October 28th in VEC-419 @ 12 noon.

We’ll be discussing the new projects ACM is working on.

Game Development Project for the VA Hospital

The VA hospital needs to have their psychology games to be remade in Java or C#. For those of you with CECS 174 or further completed, this will be the perfect chance to practical experience with the fundamentals of game programming.

Physical Therapy Project for the VA Hospital

Attention Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers: The VA hospital need to make hardware and software to measure patient’s balance. Let us know if you’re interested at this week’s meeting.

More Imagine Cup Projects

The web design, digital media, and IT challenges have just opened up for the Imagine Cup. Find out more about them at Wednesday’s meeting.

The BYOP Pumpkin Carving Contest

We’re hosting a pumpkin carving contest and giving away prizes Thursday the 29th.

3 dollars to enter competition ($5 suggested)

Just bring your pumpkin and have it hollowed out, once you are here then we can begin the Carving. Stencils are allowed, just bring a pumpkin carving kit. Or if you do not want to use a stencil cut out just design your own!!

Be creative!

Hell everyone! I just upgraded Wordpress to version 2.8.5.

For those of you unaware, Wordpress is a very powerful, open source blogging engine which we use to drive this website.

This is one of the first steps I am taking towards improving our web presence. Coming soon, a new design.

Visit Wordpress’s website for more info!

ACM will be having its weekly meeting on Wednesday, October 28th at 1 PM.

I’ll post up the room and agenda soon.

Don’t forget: 4:00 PM at VEC 110, NOT VEC 419.
