INS Building - aka the new building next to the SNIAM

vinks

was wandering around the new building today, checking out the offices etc... very nice, the lecture theatres in the basement are pretty cool as well

Agent Smith

where is the SNIAM?

vinks

the building next to the luce, laser huts, physics building and next to the physiology building. its one of the newer buildings next to the really new one

John

SNIAM is the new physics building attached to the old one

the INS is pure research, cept for those lecture theatres. from talking to David Abrahamson it would seem 2 out of 4 of those are being exclusively used by comp sci and comp eng, while 1 other is in the common pool. dunno about the fourth. really hoping they move a lot of the CS lectures there, museum to hamilton is a tad bit awkward

5min walk?? that must be one slow walk! cant believe you guys think the museum building to hammo is a long walk...now the arts block is a different story...

vinks

there appear to be cs labs dotted around the place for students from what i saw when i was floating around... so who knows ye undergrads might get to use the upper floors a bit

Crash

*shrug* the head of the department spent a good few minutes stressing "undergrads will benefit very VERY little out of this" - i think the main cs benefit is getting out of places like Oriel house etc.

vinks

its a shiny new building with lots of bits that are clearly shiny

between this year and last i've been to my arts block lectures a grand total of 3 times. so i'm not quite aware of how long it takes, i just know its too far to bother...

7 of 9 and her nanoprobes (what were they called) were cool.

someone would get an incurable disease and the nanoprobes would save the day. star trek was so cool.

Yay for self-replication..

Oh, and kev? "7 of 5"!? What were you smoking!? (it also makes no sense.) I've never watched an episode of Star Trek and even I know that it's "7 of 9"...

Kevin_rc_ie

Kevin was on intimate terms with her you see..


I heard him talking in his sleep "resistance is futile mmmmm...."

LOL, I was just gonna ask that myself. Aww, were you jealous? Was she the "other woman"?

Too right I was jealous..

Pet

Sounds like some fetish terminology that us "norms" wouldn't be able to cope with

ApeXaviour

Rolling on the ground trying to pin/choke/limb-lock eachother I figured kev would came in and explained that but he's obviously far to embarrassed..

Kevin_rc_ie

i twice wanted to reply just saying a*al but i thought it would be too weird.

limplock is misleading dec. only locks on the elbow. oh yeah strangle as well. that's enough judo talk.

Pet

Nah. I'm just bitter that i was a junior when i did Judo, and never got to do all the fun stuff like arm locks and legs locks and choke-holds..

Also, it DID sound a LITTLE dubious..

Kevin_rc_ie

i thought i cleared this up. no leg locks.
