ResNet Chat launched
First day back (previous) :: Jaffa Cake Taste Test Results! (next)
ResNet Chat is something new we've come up with that lets you chat to people in your hall and elsewhere on ResNet. There are chatrooms for your hall or house, or you can add your friends as private contacts, see when they are online and message them. It's an instant messaging program (like MSN Messenger), but especially for the community of Bristol students. There are chatrooms for each hall, and a special Orbital (students out of hall) room for the student houses. Think of your chatroom as the online equivalent of your hall bar (though sadly without the cheap beer!).
If you are a new student unfortunately you can't use ResNet chat until you are given your UOB username and password - these are dished out for most people as part of registration on Tuesday of Freshers Week.
Tech bit: ResNet chat is a customised version of Pandion and uses the Jabber / XMPP protocol.
