Register your shiz

28 02 2008

Go register your laptop. If it gets lost and someone is nice enough to turn it in, or its found all broken up - vandy police will get it back to you (or metro will get it to them)

good reason to do this - even if its found smashed your warranty is validddd ;)



Finally….we can be found!

27 02 2008

So it looks like we are finally hitting the top results if someone searches google with ‘vandy ieee’, ‘vandy acm’, ect. Yahoo is still a little behind, not quite sure how to fix that one… It seems to get confused if you throw the full ‘vanderbilt’ in there, but hey whatev’s i am pretty happy with google.
