Tech Talks

Here is the video for the latest Tech Talk on Wireless Security. Please excuse the Video. I am not really good on presentation yet, and had no idea the camera was actually recording. The video will show the command line action so it’s still good to reference that to see what the commands should look like.

The power points are here too. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions, comments or ideas. Any feedback is also welcome!

Welcome!

Hello,

Welcome to the new CougarCS website. For the most part its mostly just a new layout. Something a little simpler and clean. We have added a photos tab that links to our flickr. We have also added a new forum section. The idea for the forum was not only to enable us to communicate with the member but for the members to communicate with each other as well. Now, it’s fairly well known that you can stop by our office at any time for tutoring if help if we are present. We try to help to the best of our abilities. Also we can be reached at tutoring@cougarcs.com. Hopefully the forum will be used to allow members to help other members with any questions they may have. While we are still working on the kinks with it, we hope to launch the threads soon. If there are any other questions or suggestion feel free to contact us at info@cougarcs.com or at our meetings. Remember, we do this for our members so participation and suggestions are ALWAYS appreciated. Also, we are looking to add a Member Projects page. This would be a page where we would showcase our members projects (ex. apps, programs, websites, hacks, downloadables). Any work you have done is eligible for this page, as long as it is your work. Just submit it to us via our email or mention it at our meetings and we would be happy to showcase it. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to stop by our website. Hope you enjoy it.
