Tuesday 6th July - BRING YOUR OWN UTP CABLES - Odysseus
One thing that I might not have stressed enough and would be a real
bummer if people forgot and I overlooked is to BRING YOUR OWN UTP CABLING. I
put that up at the start. Sorry if I caused some confusion.
At the moment I'm in the middle of getting competitions of Quake and Quake 2 CTF, and team DM.
There's gonna be a web server set up so you can register for competitions as they come up and
you can check results and download patches and mods.
Since there'll be a real big tv there, if I can't get a VCR, can someone let me know if you can
get one. Bring all your vids along, most tastes can be accomadated :) Might use
the telly for some deathmatch action and some rugga. Looks like there will be sky as well.
That'll own!
If you want to sleep.. (yeah right), don't forget to bring your own sleeping bad and drinks.
Oh yeah, and pizza money
Lan starts between 4 and 5 not 6-7 like it said on the front page.
So I can confirm with the Students' Association how many people will be coming, I'll need to have registations in by Wednesday. Friday 9th July - Odysseus
Just to make sure people aren't being funny buggars, I need valid email addresses that I can get a reply from otherwise it's hard to know how many people are coming. I might have to keep the price up at $15 otherwise. Apart from that it's all go! Tuesday 29th June - Odysseus
Right. I've finally got a new 8 gig HDD the other day and have been spending many hours reinstalling all the crap I used to have on there. Man I had heaps of stuff. Anyways, if someone can come up with a replacement for this first-attempt at html programming page, they can get free entry. If anyone can help out with bringing and servers could you re-email me and I'll get you hooked up. Tolarian can get some cheap gear if anyone is short of a cable or two. I've lost my contact so can't get any cheap gears. He's your man. Make sure you get the regisrations in soon cause there are only... (what's the date) um... the 14th. The venue will be the Shelly Common Room upstairs in the UCSA building. There's a 50-odd inch tv there so if you get bored you can space out in front of infomercials for a while. Thursday 1st July HDD Crash - OdysseusI completely fried my old hard drive a couple of days ago and with it all the emails and info. It just sits there and refuses to even start spinning. To say the least I wasn't impressed! As many of you will know, it's not easy to get data back which you have lost and not backed up so could everyone who sent emails about anything apart from registering, could you resend them? Thanks. I guess if your name's not on the list you'll have to re-register. Saturday 26th June - Odysseus
There's now a discussion page up, so get writing. Wednesday 23rd June - Odysseus
If you are in need of some hardware for the event, e.g. hubs, cables, network cards, switches or most other hardware, drop me an email because I can get new hardware sourced pretty cheap, albeit close to wholesale. If anyone has a digital camera, could you charge along with it so I can get some photos up of the do after? Tuesday 22nd June - Odysseus
I have been able to secure about 3 or 4 ethernet switches; 12 port 10/100 switchable ones each of 12 ports. It would be best if everyone could bring their hubs as well just in case the supplier falls through (remote chance). I can get 2 or so linux boxes for servers. Drop me a message as to what mods or games you want on them so I can prepare. Still need more people to get over that 50 mark so the entry fee'll drop. Oh yeah and if anyone is reading this and works for Clear or Telecom and can provide some form of fast internet (ISDN or ADSL), drop me a line. Got a feeling that the pic below might put some people off. :) Friday 18th June - Odysseus
I have had words with the powers that be and it doesn't look like we can have a frame relay connection. Sorry, might have to make do with modem. Tuesday 15th June - OdysseusI have managed to secure a venue at the Students' Association Ballrom at Canterbury University. As mentioned above, it will start around 6 in the evening and go until Sunday lunch. There will be more info added here as it comes to hand, as this was hastily put together to get word out A.S.A.P.
The inside word Bring your own UTP cables as we don't want any fisticuffs at the end over ownership. Also bring your own network card as well. Duh....
There will be very little if any multi-way power boxes, so bring
your own if you can, and extension cables too.
If anyone can help out by bringing hubs, cabling or especially
switches, could you email me. That
would be greatly appreciated.
Pretty much goes without saying to bring your own caffiene and
taurine-containing refreshments. Oh yeah, and if anyone has any NT or linux boxes that could be donated for server or networking purposes for the weekend, that would be good-as, as above email please As the long hard hours of gibbing take their toll on the weary gamer, they seem to get a bit peckish, so no doubt there will be a run down to Eagle Boys sometime during the night. Might have trouble finding a projector screen TV. If anyone knows where I can hire one cheap. Let me know.
If you need other info check out the Venue/Info page or email Odysseus if you have any other questions.
