Subcity Geek Night

The Root's engineer at Hydro Connect - by Rab's Da

Thursday 12th February, 7pm to 8pm
Williams Room, John McIntyre Building

Subcity is the home of geek chic on campus; long before it was publicly acceptable to watch documentaries on typefaces, the Subcity tech team were debating the merits of mp3 vs ogg, Mac vs PC, and Domino's vs Pizza Hut.

The station's in-house tech team is responsible for the running of the broadcast, recording live sessions, facilitating training, installing massive sound-systems and lighting rigs at the events and running a website with 10,000 visits a month. The station is looking for people who like to know how things work, like fixing things, are looking to practically apply their skills or just like geeking out every now and again. You don't need to have any previous knowledge - the current team is made up of computing and engineering students as well as others who picked it up as they went along.

This night will give you a brief look into what the team is up to at the moment, some of their prouder achievements and their future plans (that's where you come in). Fans of xkcd, badscience, indexed, Dilbert, The Onion, Charlie Brooker et al welcome.
