Services

The UCC offers a wide variety of services and facilities for its members—from our world famous coke-machine to our not so famous soldering iron.

  • UCC Club Room

    The club have to put all that junk somewhere, but there are other things the club room has to offer. It's all here.

  • Mailing Lists

    The UCC provides several mailing lists for members and other groups.

    UCCans once their thirst has been quenched dispose of their cans this way.

  • Electronic Mail

    The UCC provides members with networked computing facilities including worldwide electronic mail. Here's some tips on how to use it.

  • Snack Machine

  • Tool Cupboard and Projects Area

    Members can access the tool cupboard and projects area for essential equipment repairs and less-essential tinkering. The cupboard is stocked with many, many tools and parts.

  • Version Control Systems

    Every project needs a source control system. The UCC runs Subversion, Monotone, Git and CVS servers.

  • Usenet Newsgroups (NNTP)

    Usenet has thousands of different newsgroups with gazillions of messages posted each day. Members can read and post using the UCC's network facilities.

  • Webcam

    UCC has a number of webcams in the room, which function in both the on and the off modes. It would seem to an unwary outsider, they mostly function in the off mode. As well as a live view of the webcams, there are extensive browable archives online.

  • World Wide Web (HTTP)

    If you want to publish anything on the Web, the UCC can provide reasonable amounts of space and bandwidth. Naturally, we encourage you to conserve diskspace and bandwidth.

    Due to the uncanny popularity of weblogs, UCC has a blog syndication service (a Planet) which shows the latest in technica, ramblings and inconsequencia from UCC members.
