Imagine Cup 2005

We at UNSW are very competitive, with the number one competition being the Robocup; however the imagine cup is nothing to laugh at. So on that note the Email below was sent out to the whole student body

Hi all,
Back in 2004 we had several students in the top 100 of the world list, and one who was the first ever to get 100% on the first round.

It would be great to see us do well again this year.

Cheers,
Brad

New MSSA at UNSW

Hi, my name is a Alex and I am the new MSSA at UNSW.

Im currently a third year at UNSW and doing software/biomedical engineering, still a long stretch of uni ahead of me. Ive been a programmer for a while, starting my "career" with the exciting adventures of future basic(basic on Mac) since that time ive grown to hate basic and im not the biggest fan of macs!

I received my VS .Net launch kit today and im amazed what Microsoft is willing to give away to students, and all the things that have been prepared for .Net 2.0 product launch. My only concern is that ive never done something like this before so im hoping to get some help on my first product launch/MSSA event.
