Shotgun LAN

And so it came to pass that on the eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord twenty hundred and three, the Shotgun admin team did get off their almightily fat asses and plan a LAN. They invited the very cream of the gaming community to play, the makers of the finest equipment and beer to spo...

You should be safe with this... Watch out for ECC (you don't want it), as only server boards generally support and/or need it. It's more expensive anyway.

As for other general no-no's, I'd avoid ripping integral parts off your motherboard off this time around

K, just to let people know that stage 1 of the server move is complete. All the web and DNS hosting has been shifted successfully to our new server, and mail will follow in a week or so. I'm actually off on holiday for a week from this weekend, so the chances are that the mail move won't take place ...

tbh, I'd leave 64 bit for a while... Noone really seems to have any idea what to do with it, and it'll be a while before any software that actually really uses it comes out. If you go AMD, get an x86...

Actuall, from the look of it, mail should just be queued up on other servers, and start filtering it's way in... No actual loss of mail shouls result

Forgiven?

Righty, apologies for the site outage over the weekend... Some changes were made to prepare for the server move, and I have to admit to cocking them up a bit. However, things should now be returning to normal. Those of you with mail accounts here may have lost mail for a day or two over the weekend,...

There may be some weirdness going on here for the next few days/weeks as I start to look at moving our hosting again. This shouldn't have an effect here (unless I cock it up) for the next week or so at least, but it's prolly worth warning people

...some people who thing that 5 hours in a pub on a sunday with PCs constitutes a lan party... ARGH!! Hang on a second... You need a PC to spend 5 hours in a pub on a Sunday? Good luck with the LAN and all... I'm not going to make it, but if you got a mailing list, stick me on it... We may get furt...

You may discover that this has something to do with it... In the comments, some users are proclaiming 50-90% drops in incoming spam.

Gotta be good though

Manitoba Had the album for a while, and enjoyed it, bit seeing them live at Reading was immense. Weird, kind of chilled ambient-ness, but with some excellent mixing and production that gives it a real edge, and most other people think they're worth listening to ... Up In Flames is the most recent a...

Sweet Soon as I hit broadband again, I gotta have a crack...

Though rib's right... 4D Sports Driving was obviously the game of Pro's

Sounds cool There much of a clan following for BF/DC?

Will be a while before I get in on the action, but I should have DSL when I get to Worthing, sometime in the next month or so...

Yeah, we've never had to source our own tables... You may want to try Viking Direct, as they do all kind of office related crap and may have some. I know there are places you can hire them from if you don't want 'em long... Most local scout venues will prolly oblige if you ask 'em nicely....

...and gets home again.

Ergh. It's 10pm. I got home about 40 mins ago. I'm going to bed now

Was that alright then?

Righty, me car is packed and I'm outta here in the next 15 mins or so. If anyone has any dire emergencies, I can be reached on 07881 780565, though it may be someone else who picks up if I'm driving.

See you all in a bit

I wish I worked for an internationally respected company, running LANs that people didn't laugh at.

Hold the job offer, Dom

** pimp**

Seriously... bring 'em. That's an admin telling you

Righty then, post pre-event trash talk here:

I'd like to make it publically known that I'm gonna pimp Jamie and Paul at THPS3 on the PC

Middeh's going down in Ballistics

And I'll take the lot of you at Worms

I've just finished a degree, and so am sat on me arse not doing a lot except organising LANs and modding me new case, which is nice

Actually, as of a month or so, I'll be working for Eurotherm, writing software for them, which is nice.

Morning all... Righty then. SG16 is nearly upon us, and I'm panicing nicely in a corner. We do have a lot of folks coming to this one, and I reckon it's going to be a good one, but it does mean that Friday night is going to be quite insane for us admins. In an effort to drive this workload down a bi...
