      SIGMusic is having a fruitful semester thus far. We have been working together to schedule eCafe (Electronic Cafe), which is essentially a performance event consisting of our members and their various pieces. It is going to be held on December 5, 2002 @ the Courtyard Cafe in the Illini Union. The music will range from rock covers to pop covers to timeless classics and original techno compositions. Although the majority of members are new this year, we feel that we have a great group so far. Of course, we are always accepting new members, even if you do not know anything about computers and/or music.
      Also for this semester, we plan on starting to work on the next rendition of "Sounds and Visions." If you do not know already, it is basically a great celebration of graphic visualizations and original music done by both SIGGraph and SIGMusic members. It's going to be a fun project, so if you are interested, please get involved!

     Come check out our new acquired foosball table in the Grad Lounge. We are rapidly assembling the other parts necessary for this project including treadmill motors and digital cameras. If you want to play foosball, build a robot, or work on computer vision or AI, come to a SIGBot meeting.

     CodeClub is chugging away at the NJAMD malloc debugger in an Extreme fashion. We are rewriting the debugger in C++ for performance reasons (yes, good C++ is faster than C), and we are adhering to the XP (eXtreme Programming) development process. We hope to have this port finished before Thanksgiving so that we can begin construction on a GUI to make the debugger suitable for CS225 next semester. If you're interested in memory management and efficient, high-quality software development, or just getting your name in a Linux distribution, do show up. XP is designed for fast changes and high developer turnover, so you will learn quick.
