Offbeat Reunion - Saturday 31 May 2008
To mark the passing of Zippy's, there will be a massive Offbeat reunion on the last-ever night of the venue's existence - May 31 2008. This will be for anyone who's been involved in the society since it began. In the fullness of time, Mark Sturdy and the other organisers will be looking for DJs - hopefully someone from every era of Offbeat, from 1985 to now!
Of course, there are ex-Offbeaters spread out all over the place, so they will be relying heavily on word of mouth to make this event work. Please spread the word to anyone who you think may be interested!
Tickets will be available shortly from the Union website for £5. The link will be added here when it's up.

Warwick Blogs - Important News
Blogbuilder update
There has been a new release of Blogbuilder with a few improvements and new features:
Alumni Permissions
As well as writing entries that can only be seen by staff and students, users can now write entries that can be seen by all Alumni users who log in with their WGA user login. This will not work retroactively and Alumni users will not be able to see "University–only" entries (only "University & Alumni" entries). If you find that the Alumni permissions do not work for you, then you may well have one of the old Alumni accounts we created before we had a proper authentication system that points to the WGA. If you are having trouble, let ITS know and they will check out your account (click on link below).
If you have joined the WGA and wish to maintain access to your blog after your ITS usercode expires please go to the link attached.

Nanotube production leaps from sooty mess in test tube to ready formed chemical microsensors |
| Carbon nanotubes’ potential as a super material is blighted by the fact that when first made they often take the form of an unprepossessing pile of sooty black mess in the bottom of a test tube. Now researchers in the University of Warwick’s Department of Chemistry have found a way of producing carbon nanotubes in which they instantly form a highly sensitive ready made electric circuit. |
