Just an idea...

Post by mid_gen »

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?

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.

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!

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.
