1) Work on an internship in the elec department

Interesting...who are you working with?

Red Alert

I'm going to be working with Conor Heneghan. Must check actually when I start.

I like the computer-count Kas! 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 server (linux) and soon to be 1 firewall/web server (openbsd)! That program to do catalogueing sounds good - mine are all in a mess too, and the worst thing is that the ID tags are wrong on a lot of the files! :eek:

EDIT: AFAIK I think Netsoc may have disabled either the inbound or outbound port forwards from the server's perspective. You should probably ask one of the admins to open the port for you.

For the summer? Sleeping til I get a job. Then paying off debt. And trying to convince boyfriend to take time off to go on holiday. I also plan on doing as little thinking as possible without doing something like walking in front of buses.

Fair play, but don't forget to go outside , you don't want to end up looking like those feeble pasty people I constantly see arround computer science. I could nearly say some of them are deficient in sunlight.
BTW is there anyway you can use orca as a proxy to access a vnc (TightVNC) server at another location?
thanks

funny - the comp sci people who get the most sun are the ones who stand outside smoking... bit aof a health trade-off =0)

We were thinking about looking into TightVNC stuff at some point over the summer, but no guarentee ths will happen (possible secutity problems, ugly port forwarding stuff... yeknow)

Well my plans for the summer, inter-railing, totally fell through last night, due to my friends' total inability to grasp reality. They seem to think they can visit pretty much everywhere in Europe in a month. So now, I dunno what I'm going to do! I refuse to stay in Dublin all summer, REFUSE!!!

anna20

go to toronto for the summer and hopefully have the time of my life away from irelands crappy summer weather and general boring atmosphere!

Was in there the other night, and at about 11:30 a big gang of ppl started walking along right outside the window with cans and pizza - then settled down in full few and started to eat/drink/be drunk and laugh at us! I was tempted to go outside and join them, come next Saturday...
