Tuesday’s Panthera Party

There is a rumor on campus that you can sneak into the Panthera House Party on Tuesday night. All you have to do is follow @PantheraHP on twitter and be waiting there at 9:30pm (EST) tomorrow night.  University officials believe it’s a hoax. (See ValemontU.com news & events, leading story.)
Just for fun I shot off [...]

Pranksters beware…

As many of you know there have been an escalating series of pranks at Valemont over the last few weeks.

Rush Week Begins

MY OPEN LETTER TO RUSH WEEK PARTICIPANTS
Normally, the FIRST day of Rush Week at Valemont, you wander around campus, check out the Houses, meet some House members and ask questions.
Then the SECOND day of Rush Week, the Rush Chair contacts you (in this year, moi!) and you start narrowing down which Houses you’re interested in. [...]

Campus ‘Pranks’

I, as well as anyone who has been at VU for more than a semester, understand pranking.
Putting one over on the profs, or another House…heck, even putting plastic wrap over the toilets on your floor: we’re all pranksters to some degree.  [I categorically deny any knowledge of putting plastic wrap anywhere.  I heard that from [...]

Aotidae House strikes again!

Today some inventive scriptkiddy from Aotidae hacked the VU site to post, “”Lie. Beware we are watching we are here.”
First, kudos to you for cracking a non-Md5 password from a terminal inside the firewall.  On the difficulty scale, one to ten, that is about a negative-two.
All the lab MACs have access to the public servers [...]
