Welcome to the UCC wiki!

This is a collection of all things UCC. There are guides on using various services at UCC, information about our Network and Machines and several lists such as what has been borrowed from the club. This wiki is open for anyone to read, make new articles or update existing ones. Every little bit of knowledge added helps everyone.

2. Going further

Nobody really knows what kinds of things have been put on the wiki. Have a look at TitleIndex to see what pages we have, and maybe you can contribute to keep this wiki up to date!

2.1. The UWA Pirate Handbook

The University Computer Club denies all responsibility for the contents of the following categories. All opinions are expressed are probably those of the page editors.

• How To Write For The Handbook - a general guide on contributing.

• UWA Units - which ones to take, which ones (and lecturers) to avoid like the plague.

• UWA Lecturers - our database of information on UWA Lecturers.

• UWA Phone Numbers - all in one handy place.

• UWA Timetable (with iCal support!)

• You can use uwawhois on martello to query the uwa directory (since tartarus access has gone away).

3. How to use the wiki
