which is another project on the list to get around to..

milk

ah, righty ho. will defo be in the forest on monday from early so can hook the old oak to the network and do this (unless someone has time before me).

milk

monday evening should be cool, although the Forest facilitation workshop is running until 6. nix i see you're wanting to attend that also - does the cave meeting have to be 5pm or could it be pushed back an hour? i don't have anywhere to download ubuntu studio right now apart from the action room. m...

milk

how about a basic pimping-the-forest poster than can be affixed to the sandwich board with blue tack for when there are no specific events on or for when vollies don't have time (or before they have time) to redo the msg?

milk

found it at http://www.radicalroutes.org.uk, cheers for that. a related site of theirs; http://www.rootstock.org.uk/

milk

some ideas;

funny games
idiocracy
le dîner de cons
les visiteurs
papillon
the designated mourner

am i right in saying that Tuesday is the night for documentaries in the café?

milk

re cleaning; how often does the café/red room floor get a proper soapy mop down? i'd like to do that at some point, although it'd take a number of hours (ipu, what a f'n state that floor is in) and would have to be done after the café was shut and there were no peeps hanging around walking back and ...

milk

tops, date make in calendar. cheers.

milk

on a related note.. i've been thinking a bit about the concept of housing co-operatives recently. my interested was sparked 2/3 years ago when i ended up for the after-party of a club night at such a scheme in hulme, manchester called Homes for Change. i loved how the co-operative had been involved ...

milk

idea; making some OpenCola to potentially sell in the kitchen. cost effective in bulk? *shrug* does anyone have any idea where one could source the ingredients noted from? thoughts anyway?

milk

though still, it's a matter of respecting [explicitly] what the artists say we can do with their work.

milk

although that news link would more relate to some of the musics volunteers might have been known to bring in to play in the café at points the past.

milk

not all of the music in the cafe is copy left / non copy right. we have explict permission by the artist of all tracks to play the music we play. all of it? do we require any receipt of that permission? in relation to online (either playing forest gigs via the website or uploading them to last.fm),...

milk

I have a weird vision in my head of terrifically disturbed parents coming in to find a ballpool of severed doll heads. I would kind of like to play in there. hmm... a forest ball pit (including a number/percentage of dolls heads?). what are the plans for the room at the bottom of the main stairs ag...

red room rejiggle++ # tis looking fab

what's the situation re fliers/pamphlets in the front room? are there any plans for the racks in the back of the action room and might one of them be suitable for housing such dead tree media in the red room?

milk

Anyone any idea when this computer might be ready? i know a big new hdd is coming at some point soonish and that one of the old action room pcs is getting done up spec wise and something like ubuntu studio (i've just tooked through this and ubuntu studio seems to be the best candidate), although i ...

milk

there is a plan to get the café mac connected to the network and give it a last.fm profile so people can experience the aural atmosphere of the space (minus chatter, clinking cutlery, mobile phones, pa feedback) in the comfort of their own home/workspace/etc. i've asked before but can't remember the...

milk

are you on last.fm? join the newly created Forest group @ http://www.last.fm/group/The%2520Forest . whee!

milk

quick idea before i forget; how about a 'universal' forest tag that can be used on sites like youtube, flickr, last.fm, del.icio.us, etc, i.e., "theforestedinburgh", so that anyone who uploads content related to the forest on whatever website that supports tags can use it, making it easier for peopl...

milk

sounds very interesting. i'd like to attend.

milk

i was going to formulate a date/time after seeing what's good for them. if they're all available at some point during the day then i'd have it then, but if it'd have to be in the evening that makes it harder re booking the action room. tues/wed/thurs afternoon or early evening (up to 7pm if there's ...

milk

i haven't received any reply to my request for potentially suitable times from our 3 volunteers so far. shall give them another poke tomorrow.

and for those who've always wondered what all those codes refer to, wikipedia knows the shit

Due to a scheduling error on my part, I can't make the web meeting this evening, so I thought I'd bash out a quick list of thoughts on what I think is needing doing or looked at. 1) The site needs updating from Joomla version 1.0.13 to 1.5.1, the main reasons being for better security, usability and...

http://ubuntustudio.org/ is apparently rather good. there's another good media distro, the name of which escapes me atm.

milk

i laughed heartily at the dungeon ones.

milk

either or really. my youtube faves can be seen here . there a whole load of interesting stuff straight through the archives of the google talks and the ted stuff, and the Computer History Museum channel is good for techy stuff. other than that, youtubing/google videoing the names of peeps who might ...

on the subject of overhwead projectors, this is very pretty.

right, i've updated the article. have shifted around and rewritten some of the text (changes can be seen here ). anyone got thoughts on what could be changed/added? anyone got a good photo or three that could be added? what more could be popped in the history section? i've also moved the article to;...

Incidentally does anyone know of a good not evil public wiki host? not off hand i'm afraid (i got my personal wiki for doing bugtesting for the author) but this seems an interesting list, plus check the wiki farm list on wikipedia (link at the bottom) But, I personally think it might be a good idea...

update . the layout could do with a bit of work but i'm not going to bother before the 1.1 update comes out for the shop addon (soonish) as things might change. everything should be working now. if anyone wants short or long descriptions edited/ammended, please provide changes and i'll update it. s...

cool, i'll look into ripping some of those vids from you.tube for laptop playback

milk

What would we podcast exactly? Like are we gonna record stuff specifically for podcasting? Or are we gonna record gigs in the cafe and podcast those? Either would be really cool. some podcasts are just straight music, but most go for a radio show style format. maybe forest record stuffs and gigs wi...

milk

on a very related note, i see there was an effort a while back to get a forest podcast on the go. anyone know what became of this? i've experience in producing them and setting up the web site stuffs from working at abertay in dundee.

milk

don't upgrade anything unless you've researched A LOT on what the upgrade is going to do to the existing site. also - i would suggest that backups be made of the DB prior to any work on the sites backend. no probs, wouldn't do it any other way. *realisation*. not that i have ftp access to do it any...
