Howdy ADI!
This past week, ADI had a fantastic Holiday Party and TechCulture was great! Who knew the open source community was so cool? We want to thank everyone who made it out to these events, as you helped make them a smash success.
As always here at ADI, we are starting to plan our next and biggest-greatest event coming early next semester. Keep an eye out for the save-the-date email later this week. Also to stay informed, please like our new Facebook page, follow us on Twitter @adi_cu, and circle us on Google Plus.
In other news, our HackCU team has put together something for our new segment, the pony express dilemma:
Lastly, as the semester is winding down, and finals are slowly creeping into our minds, ADI would like to say that it is going to be okay, you are not alone, and if you need help with a hack come to Hacker Office Hours! A resonating piece published in the Eye about how sometimes, despite what we want to think, we aren’t okay. How We’re Doing by Wilfred Chan and Sarah Ngu.

ADI Announcements
1. Beginning Git Workshop
Tuesday 12/6, 9-10pm in Hamilton 503
Have you ever broken your code entirely and wasted time getting back to a working state? Do you still work on projects with others by sending dated files to each other? Come to this interactive workshop, and learn the wonders of distributed version control! You'll be working with others on the same repository, and seeing each other's changes live.
Please bring a laptop to this workshop!
2. Hacker Office Hours
Tuesday, 12/6, 10–11 pm in Lerner 569
Come with anything you want to hack on! If you want help with a technology, come and get help on your project from people who are more experienced, or if you're already experienced, come share your knowledge and find collaborators!
3. Interdisciplinary Panel on New Developments in Healthcare IT
Wednesday, 12/7, 8-9 pm, in 209 Havemeyer
In a time of evolving plans for healthcare reform, escalating costs, increasingly competitive and regulatory markets, data liberations, and coverage gaps, innovation in the healthcare field is needed more than ever. In this question-based panel, Business School Professor Lorraine Marchand (Healthcare and Pharmaceutical) and Mailman Public Health School Professors Fred Hyde and Tal Gross will be discussing the trends, risks, innovations, and opportunities in the economics of health technology.
OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. PrintatCU.com
In the latest and greatest from the Hacker Community at Columbia comes a great application that rids us of the dreaded printer problem. No need anymore to go through the pain-stalking process of installing drivers for only some printers, or having to log into the Computer-Labs to print your essay. Check out printatcu.com, the easiest way to print at Columbia from your own computer. It couldn't be any simpler!
2. Apply for HackNY Fellowship
The hackNY Fellows program is an intense 10 week program designed to introduce students to NYC’s startup ecosystem by pairing the best technical minds with great New York startups. Local startups are carefully selected for the program and have demonstrated evidence of a mentoring environment, committing to:
(i) a specific person (CTO, lead dev, or other technical mentor) to work with the Fellow;
(ii) a specific place allocated for the Fellow to work; and
(iii) a specific technical problem for the Fellow to conquer during the program.
Applications will be considered as they are received at http://hackny.org/a/students/. For fullest consideration students should apply before 11:59 PM NYC time December 31 2011. For a brief introduction to the program, please see this video created by the class of 2011 hackNY Fellows http://bit.ly/hackNY2011vid.
‘til next time, partner,

Uninformed Cowboy: ‘ey there barkeep, let me get another one of ‘em HackCU Tutorials. I need something to get me letters to my partners quicker. The Pony Express these days just don’t cut, ‘cause theys at least a fur piece’s away.
Informed Barkeep: I got just the thing for ya’. Check out this tutorial from HackCU “Connecting to #adicu with IRC, Web Edition” It let’s ya figure out this IRC client nonsense that makes it easy to connect to the adicu channel for all your hacking questions and conversations.
Now-Informed Cowboy: Well shucks, they did a bang-up job. This is what an’ ol’ boy like me needed.
