I doubt it. I suspect the network cable has been knocked out, it's very easy to do on that machine.

This just in: Lincolnshire claims hottest chilli crown!

ChaoticReality

Hey Pessi!

We might have a room in our flat around that time, will keep you informed. I live with a guy who works for Stewarts and is friends with Ian (HW, American, Brewing Society) etc so I think you'll get on pretty well.

Best,
Mike

That's already a key part of the plan.

ChaoticReality

Sweet. What time is the show on Sunday? If I can liaise with them beforehand, I can get it setup. If it's a time when I won't be around, I can show you how to do it, milk.

ChaoticReality

Do we have the upstream bandwidth to support this at anything more than webcam quality?

ChaoticReality

So last night, some motherfucker stole my banjo. I'd propped it up against the wall for 30 seconds so I could say goodbye to someone and then it was gone. Happened approx 2am at the bottom of High School Wynd (Infirmary St) where it joins the Cowgate. I think the guy who took it is about 6' tall, ma...

We've been using tumblr for a while now, can we get the blog showing up at theforest.org.uk properly? Is it technically impossible to do so, while still having http://theforest.org.uk/bb/ point to our bb? If so, can we move the bb to http://bb.theforest.org.uk/ ? Something better than the HTTP 301 ...

ChaoticReality

Yes.

I overslept so am on my way in now. Please tell me that there's still something left...

ChaoticReality

ARGH. Me and Milk started testing and salvaging the useful bits. There's some good stuff in there (AMD Quad Core, etc) and lots of bits that can be used for repair.

I will be in first thing in the morning, as it's a bit late now, to finish of testing stuff.Please don't chuck anything

ChaoticReality

There's a couple of rolls of carpet in the cave that you can use.

ChaoticReality

Since the cafe will be closed during these days, work will be starting around 10am, the time the cafe would normally open.

Thanks in advance for coming along

There's a shiny system here (http://www.playerpal.com/) for playing itunes songs remotely and this looks like exactly the kind of thing we need. There's a trial version available for free too. It only works on Windows, we use a Mac. Also: The trial version is fully functional but it does not displa...

And done!

You now have a link to reply to all at the bottom of PMs. Like so:

Sorry, been away a bit with health problems. Am back on this.

ChaoticReality

They're filming for Sky Arts (evil!) and asking about a charge for the space. Hmmm. Reasonable "donation" to the toilet/roof/building repair fund?

Yahoo group archiver: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/ ... 45813.html

ChaoticReality

Yeah, we need keyboards and mice. Also, both the black machines in the action room seem to be fucked again. I spent ages fixing these up and getting them working. Dunno what's wrong with the one closest to the door, the other one seemed to break after someone *cough*milk*cough* changed some of the m...

ChaoticReality

I thought you were going to do it Stephen?

Wasn't that what we agreed a few weeks ago when you kept suggesting it to me?

ChaoticReality

The licensing laws don't actually prohibit drinks being taken outside, I don't think but it's certainly something that can be applied as a condition on a license.

ChaoticReality

Well, we're running the version of phpBB that's supposed to have this feature. I'll give it a bit more of a prodding once the painkiller haze has worn off.

ChaoticReality

Hi!

Our wifi now has a password to protect you from eavesdropping etc. For more details, look up "wifi sniffing".

The password is forestcafe

Enjoy.

ChaoticReality

This appears to already be a feature of newer phpBB versions so an upgrade should add it. If not, I have written a patch that will do the same but I need admin permissions on the bb to apply it.

Milk?

ChaoticReality

Hmm, that's a bit dodgy.

Well, when you get Be sorted, chuck me the username and password for the PPoE and I'll get the router reconfigured.

ChaoticReality

Why would you need to? On one of the machines (second in from door, I think) and the Sparcs automount your /home from the fieserver when you login and if you don't have your own account, it logs in as forest and mounts that as /home.

I will set the other black box up to do this tomorrow.

ChaoticReality

No need.

Dr Mike's PC Express has blazed through town. We have two working x86 machines again as well as the two macs. If I can find enough keyboards and mice, I will get the SPARCs plugged back in and we'll have 6 working machines.

ChaoticReality

Sounds awesome to me, Swith.

I look forward (with a small amount of trepidation) to ordering a portion of The Flamin' Pendechos.

ChaoticReality

We're averaging about 7 gigabytes of traffic a day at present.

ChaoticReality

I will print this and pass it to my friend Joey, who tunes and repairs pianos. I will see him in a few hours so may even be able to get an answer today!

ChaoticReality

Also, I support moving to Be and getting more upload speed (because we'll be doing some off-site backups with dropbox) and a static IP.

ChaoticReality

The old router went boom yesterday morning. We now have a dlink dir-615d, donated by Huw, running in its place.

ChaoticReality

Our new router is running dd-wrt so I should be able to get some pretty decent figures soon.

ChaoticReality

Hmm. I thought there was but have just checked and you're not being dense, it doesn't exist as a feature.

Am having super-computer-things-fixy day today so will try and add it. Suspect there is already a phpBB module so shouldn't be too much hassle.

Watch this space...

ChaoticReality

I haven't had chance to check this out properly. I'll get some monitoring software running and see what data I can gather.

ChaoticReality

Have you tried mailing Ilaria or Giovanna? They might have some contacts.

ChaoticReality

Danger Danger!

See you on Thursday!

ChaoticReality

*is saying nothing*

ChaoticReality

Either come into the cafe and look in the events book, pick a slot and you're set or mail to events@theforest.org.uk if you can't physically make it into the cafe.

ChaoticReality

Well, most CAPTCHAs are broken these days. The info used to be easily available on the main forest website but since the move to Chris' site, I think the info is gone

ChaoticReality

Sweet. I'll try and get them installed in the broken machines tomorrow.

ChaoticReality

I don't think the music part is being advertised as "free school", Jane. I suspect it refers to the free workshops and skillshare stuff that will be running alongside the music.

ChaoticReality

I thought it was great! Even after the first few days, I was still doing double takes after I walked in. Especially the one time when someone was pretending to play chess with him.

ChaoticReality

I don't see a problem with funding this.

ChaoticReality

Chris: No, you need to be connected to the forest network when you want to setup/use the printer. It is probably possible to set something up so you could print to it from home but that would involve a lot of faffing about with port-forwarding and making the printer internet-facing, which is as bad ...

*bump*

Our broadband is still slow and clunky. Can we do something about it?

ChaoticReality

Piece of piss. Have set it up for Catalina and Cornelia recently. From your laptop, go to the control panel and then the printer dialog. You should have an option to add a network printer. Your laptop will then scan the network and should discover the bizhub. When it does, select it and it should do...

It's pretty much ready to go and works fine on my laptop but when I tried to get it to work on the mac, it fell over. Fucking macs. I am still working on it but have little free time due to homelessness crazy etc. If we can get rid of iTunes and get a decent media player on there that will respond t...
