Shotgun LAN

Ok, as you may have noticed, we've not had a lan for a while. The reason for this is that Pete and Nick are both in their final year of uni, and have those exam things and whatnot to do.

I have a cunning plan

Not discussed this with Pete and Nick at all, which they'll probably yell at me for...but nm

I propose a bodged LAN! I am now fully LAN-mobile, so I could quite happily come down one weekend (provided I could get a lift from Aldershot station) and just run a mini-LAN.

Maybe a 'bring your own' LAN, cos we wouldn't have any switches or cables (well, I could bring our FS516 at a pinch). It will be effectively an invite-only LAN, cos there won't be any admins to speak of, just a load of tables Wouldn't want more than 30 people either.

Thoughts?

wee, its all good, i got a couple of small switches and cable, ill be there with meh lappy

also like to point out that i made up the name BodgedLAN, and im not allowing mid to take all the credit

This sounds like a very good idea to me. When do u plan to hold this BodgedLAN (tm)? As for your lift I will prolly be able to pick u up from the station.

firstly am i invited

secondly, do you want me to bring my switch

?

Not sure yet, depends if your switch is any good.

Specs?

X-Ray no doubt.
As for the LAN, sounds good.

i guess i am invited then?

my switch is an 8 port switch d-link des-1008d if your that bothered

it's got a seperate uplink port as well

is this at T.S.Swiftsure or at basingstoke like you once said?

well i have a hub, its old but its a 16 port if that will help?

w00 h00 maybe i will be able to play a game at this one
Give us a time, a place ...(and an invite) an i'll be there

I would like to come. I am a fun person to be around.

Ok,

I'll bring down the gigabit switches and dual Xeon servers then... All we need now are network cables. If you ask BoxLogic nicely, I am sure they can help out!

i've got a bagful of ready mades in me office, does that mean i can get in free

If we have this LAN is it going to cost the normal amount as a Shotgun mid_gen?

Right, well it seems that people are interested Strangely, I've not heard a peep from Pete or Nick on the subject, I'll give Pete a ring tomorrow.

I think our CAT5 is all at Pete's house, in which BoredAtWork could bring it along?

and Dav....you're not invited. Don't even THINK about filling my inbox with your drivel either.

ROFL!

Well i can most likley bring the microwave!! and mmmmm well i suppose i could bring garlando, and ZiK? Thats if u really want me to........

Well, that's if you cycle like a complete cvnt. I don't jump lights or go the wrong way down one way streets.

dav would cycle like that unfortunately he has a scooter so he does it on that.
