Hi all!
Good to see such a great turn out at the End Of Term Party last night! Lots of good times and great music! Special thanks to all of the bands who performed: Fractured, Potato Wine and Colonial All-Star.
The picture from this fabulous event are now available for viewing!
Also, while were at it, if you haven't filled out the NUTS End Of Term Survey, please take a few moments and let us know how we did this term...

Because I don't think there are enough pictures on the site...
Latest Updates:
The Pub Crawl pictures are mirrored. So if you have trouble here, look at:
Click on "Photos," then the Mark/Kelly picture beside "Market Research Pub Crawl," then select the image of a bar to see those pictures.
Since we're knocking out the transfer limit anyway, I've decided to post ALL of the Pub Crawl pictures. This is good news for people inside Alcatel, but bad news for people on the outside, since it means the nutsevents site will be pretty much inactive for the next week.
On the bright side, we've set up a mirror, so you can more easily see these incredible images:
But not yet... tomorrow morning.
The pictures will still be available here, like a good cold that just won't go away. With the runny nose and hacking cough. Yes, exactly like that.
Latest Updates:
People must really like the pictures, since we blew the transfer limit on the external site by 9:30 am this morning. Things should be better by Tuesday.

Hey Gang!!
Hope everyone had a fantastic time at the Market Research II Pub Crawl. I know I did!! (Those who saw me that night will vouch for this fact). Big thanks go out to Mark and Kelly for planning such a fantastic event. Tons of pictures were taken, and this means that there's going to be a few little changes in the way that these images are presented.
Due to the fact that the external site (nutsevents.topcities.com) has a daily transfer limit, I'm going to try to make sure that as many people see the pictures as possible. Basically what this comes down to is that I've split up the pictures into sets, based on the location. Thus, each stop (Minglewoods, Dominion, Patty Boland's, The Laff, The Snug Pub and The Cabin) will be its own gallery.
In order to keep the transfers down, I'm going to pose ONE SET per day for the rest of the week (hopefully at around 4:00 pm each day for consistency). This means that you'll have to come back every day to see another fine collection of embarrassing pictures. Don't worry... there are plenty enough to go around.
The first set is ready, with the rest soon to follow...

Again, defying conventional wisdom and better judgement, pictures from the latest WatPub have been brought to you in less turnaround time than one thought possible. And, I might add, at no extra cost.

Over the course of the last year, the amount of pictures that are served on the nutsevents web site has grown quite a bit. It has reached a point that the capacity is now at its limit. In order to recover some much-needed space, some of the older pictures must be removed...
To preserve as much of the history of NUTS as possible, I have decided to remove only the full size pictures from a few of the older sets. This means that you will still be able to browse the event pictures, and read the hilarious (!) captions, but will not have the opportunity to view larger versions of the images.
Please note that all of the images will remain on the internal Alcatel mirror on torpedo since there is no such space restriction.

Hey gang
Finished the last three sets of pictures from the trip to La Ronde. Okay, so there are 171 pictures altogether. Considering there were four cameras floating around, that's not too many. Is it? Oh well, at least our shenanigans are now documented for the ages.
In related news... the site is rapidly approaching it's capacity. What this means is that some of the older pictures will have to be taken down to make room for the new ones. This will only apply to the nutsevents site, as the internal Alcatel mirror (torpedo) will still contain all the available pictures. It's going to be tough deciding which ones get the axe. So many memories. So many silly captions.

Hey all!
Two sets of pictures from the trip to La Ronde are up. There's still quite a bit left -- perhaps two more galleries. Still, here is the first bunch. La Ronde -- a sight to behold!!

Since there has not been a lot of new pictures going up lately, I've dropped in some of my personal excursions. These aren't necessarily related to NUTS, but are strange, weird, interesting or odd pictures that I've taken over the course of the last little while. And what better why to share the madness than to send them forth into the magic ether that is the Internet?

Since there was no Juice and Gin last week, my comments to the good people on the mailing list were lost in the ether... until now!
Hey gang!
Great to see everyone who turned out for the Beginning of Term Party. I know I had a blast, and a big 'Kudos' go out to the SFU team (Ruby and Peter) for putting together a great party. A special 'Yehaw!' to Peter for coming up with some interesting (and new!) games to play!
The first set of pictures are up and posted on the web site. A second digital camera was on hand at the proceedings, and I just recently got my grubby little paws on the results. The images should be ready in a couple of days.
And since the NUTS website is basically a forum for my many excursions... soon you'll be seeing pictures of a recent co-op jaunt to Montreal. Lots more pixilated shenanigans to come!
Note how some of this information is out of date (the second set of pictures are up, etc.). But the images from the Montreal trip are still forthcoming, so keep an eye out! Maybe you should keep both eyes open all the time. It's easier to avoid walking into lamp posts that way.

Hi all. In case you didn't see the message on Friday...
Apparently people have been enjoying the NUTS web site a little too much lately, and we've been going over our transfer limit quite often. This basically means that at a certain point each day, no one can access the external web site.
Fortunately, there is a way to alleviate some of the bandwidth usage....
For all Alcatel employees (people within the Alcatel intranet), please use the following address to access the NUTS website:
http://torpedo.ca.newbridge.com/mirror/
This is the local version of the web site. It contains all of the content that the external site does, but will load much faster due to the fact that it is internal on the Alcatel intranet.
Please update your bookmarks accordingly.
For everyone outside of Alcatel, continue to use the external site: http://nutsevents.topcities.com/.
Thanks!

We've got the first set of pictures up for the new term! Not exactly a NUTS event, this was the SFU Meet and Greet. Well, something is better than nothing, Chachi.

More to follow... :)
Pictures ready. No captions. No time. ;)

Holy CRAP it's been a long time since I've done an update. Well, no matter, since there hasen't been much new content in a while.
But lo and behold, last weekend we had three, count them, three events. And pictures were taken at all of them. Now if only I had time to put them together and upload them...
:)
Hope everyone who came out to the big End Of Term Party (the fabulous Jacques-Cartier Parc Barbecue!) had a great time and ate themselves silly. I know I did, but then again, I was silly to begin with.
Keep an eye out, I should have some of the pictures ready for tomorrow!

The well wishes may be a day early, but what they hay. I'm in at work and nothing says fun like working on the weekend!
Sorry for the lack of a new Juice & Gin this week, but there have been many circumstances which have been beyond our control. Most of which is that when push comes to shove, work comes first and NUTS comes second.
Again... any additional help anyone can give would be fantastic!!
Latest Updates:
Sorry about the lack of updates... work has been hectic. This sounds
like we may need some additional voulenteers to work on site content.
Either that, or it's a cry for help. Your call. :)

Thanks to everyone who came out to the MOTP! It was a blast and I hope everyone had fun. The pictures are up as well. Take a look and relive all the fun you can't remember.

Sorry about the delay in updating... there was a minor technical malfunction. But things are fixed now, and the Pictures from Friday night's Masquerade Madness are now available. Also, check out the next batch of humour collections from the pages of the Juice and Gin.
Remember, the humour section just doesn't materialize out of nowhere, they're submitted by faithful readers. So this means you!

Check out the Juice and Gin for a ton of new information on events!! (Soon to be updated on the Events Calendar page)
One of these days I'm going to have to archive all of the text
below. It's not like anyone actually reads the old update notices...
do you?!?! :)
Latest Updates:
Ola!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Been quite busy, but there have been some changes around here at the site. Keep reloading as there's always something going on!
Starting NOW, I'm going to start posting humour content from old Juice and Gins at the rate of one month's worth of jokes per week. Think of all the fun you'll have reading old jokes. Go on. Think about it. No, it's okay. I'll wait. Dum de dum dum. Go back and think some more, you weren't gone long enough. La la la. Wasn't that pleasant? I like jokes.

What's-a-happening!
Hope everyone had a blast at the Beginning Of Term Party on Friday. For the first big event of the term, it turned out pretty good. Even with a few minor glitches (a working microphone would have been nice), we still got out there and shook it up good.
Pictures are up and posted NOW! Make sure you reload the Pictures page to ensure you have the most recent version.
Look for updates to the humour archive in the next couple of days!

Okay, so I lied about when the pictures from the Sandwich Luncheon would be ready. They're up now. A big thanks to all the co-ops who came out and made the luncheon a success!
Latest Updates:
The Winter term official got off to a rollicking start with the first Wing Night of 2002! Okay, it was basically a small gathering... but things are bound to pick up next week. :) The pictures (all two of them) have been added to the Pictures Archive. Oooooh.
Co-Ops at Alcatel should all come out to the NUTS Sandwich Luncheon on Wednesday (tomorrow!). Bring a drink and some lunch meat, and NUTS supplies the bread, veggies and condiments. If you've never met any of the NUTS before, now's a perfect opportunity.
Where: NSM Boardroom (6th floor of Tower 2, across from the elevators)
When: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 at 12:00pm (noon)
Hope to see all the Alcatel Co-Ops (and recent New Grads) there!
Zots!
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing holiday. For all you co-ops, it's now Winter 2002 and NUTS is gearing up for the next cycle of excitement. But first, some information...
I wanted to start updating the web site in such a way that the casual observer would be able to tell that there are new things going on. For the time being I'm going to be slotting new information in this section here. The newest information will appear at the top. If it looks like there's old text about, remember to reload this page to make sure you have the most recent version.
I want to move the "Who We Are" and "What We Do" information sections to a separate location, but I'll just leave them down below for now.
In the meantime, I'm going to use this space for whatever purposes I want. Due to general lethargy, this will probably mean that I'll just include my weekly update to the Juice & Gin, stating what sections of the web site have been updated. I may slip in the occasional rant here and there.
As of right now, there are really no new updates, but keep an eye out because there will be a bunch of little changes coming in the near future, including: more old picture, a massive update to the humour archive, and possible a few non-NUTS related photographic experiments from PhotoDude...
Later kids.
