Dear All, Caroline has produced some departmental computing web pages for us. These can be found at : http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/physics/staff/computing I think that these are pretty jolly good, although I have only had a quick look at them. Please have a look and if you have any thoughts or suggestions then please give us feedback. Best, david

FW: Dell Solutions Tour 2013 - Invite
by Mannall, Adrian B 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

All, I had emailed in August about DELL trying to set up a chance to come and discuss technology with staff at Imperial - however our account manager has not been able to set up anything yet as all resources are focussed on this event being held at Chelsea FC in October. Both he and I thought that this might, if you can attend, even for a while, cover a lot of the initial interest and provide an opportunity to discuss with experts such as Intel too. As such please do register to attend if you are interested and can get there. Should people then require something more specific we can look to get this organised later in the term. Kind regards Adrian.

Teaching Computers slow
by David Colling 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

Hi, I was looking at the computers on level 3 and they seem to run very slowly - several seconds for a "Hallo World" C++ programme. It might have been because the image was on my H: drive. Also I noticed that the association of .py files with python in notepad++ was broken on the machine on which I was running. Have others tried the level 3 machines since their re-installation this summer? If so have you noticed any oddities? Best, david
