I'm hiring a car to transport myself and Mark (FrF) down already. I'm not sure I'll have enough room for another person/PC. Haven't you got your own transport?
New plan: I'm going to come without my PC. I'll be coming down to the train station on the evening; if someone could ferry me to the venue that'd be much appreciated.
I will be brining my new second-hand iBook but it's not really gaming-worthy -- although it could act as a wireless base station for the venue if I can be arsed to set it up.
And it comes with Samba so I can join in the leeching of shiny things.
On the subject of wireless, I'll be bringing along my 802.11g base station for your wireless needs.
If anyone has an 802.11a base station and wants to show it off, by all means bring it along. Chat to me about getting an IP for it.
isnt 802.11a the shit one? (oh i'll be using b which should work with g.. so naah) i wonder if any passing wireless terrorists will pick up the signal from outside.. hmm.. those walls aint very thick.

WEP? encryption key? if the dutch are comming. u can forget about it.... what you want is a Radius/VPN thing going... 1024 bit encryption.. that will take them all weekend to crack on their fastest machines!!!
ahhh, Linux. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems....
Bugger encryption. These access points generally have eeny range anyway.
Given we're stuck in the middle of a huge car park in the middle of nowhere, I don't think anyone'll be interested in our little WiFi network.
you say that, but there is a train line next to us someone might pick it up on their laptop going one way, and be really nasty and take a jouney back the same way, and do something really nasty!
