hmm, need to revisit the IT team to-do list soon, and need to get that damn miniatx ram from that friend! and getting the file server to appear in the Places menu would be killer...

milk

the security settings for the space have become both weak and overbearing in exactly the wrong ways. i've poked my hosting friend. if we can't sort it soon enough, mike may have space available. something shall get sorted at some point!

milk

yay, great work getting the the new router up and running mike

milk

wordness. i can advertise this on the TechMeetup mailing list, etc, when the date/time is sorted so try lure new vollies to help.

milk

a working version is to be found on http://edinburgh.thingsandstuff.org/ind ... &oldid=416

the problem is a spam bot - but my web space hoster is in nz somewhere and unavailable to help fix the problem... i'll look at this soon though.x

milk

yar - to chris; if you or someone with access could edit the info page ont he current site, that would be braw, thanks.

milk

i agree. post-Beltane, and before going on my summer holiday (englandshire then knock'), i asked folk their views so the web team could move forward. no-one has replied yet which has left me rather narked. i'm seriously fed up with people wanting to get involved then changing the goalposts and/or no...

or maybe we could hack up an aerial or two to stick on the roof so we could start a Freifunk style community network...

or maybe not....

i'm sure i've phoned BT about something a couple of years ago and they said that our connection always gets capped due to high usage after about a day into the month. the best way we can combat this is by using the QoS settings on the WRT router. we have things setup which we think are working, but ...

milk

an aside; this is possibly something that the black shuttle could maybe be integrated with. i'm needing to meet with a friend who has some MiniATX stylee RAM to donate. i'd love to have this kind of online request system setup with the upcoming and previous tracks displayed on the wall. i've certain...

milk

while making things easy using technology is for the win, could randoms abuse this from the cafe? is there any way to set-up a simple password (that might change every couple of months) that we could stick on the wall in the Action Room? or should we just wait and see if anything like 1000 pages of ...

milk

thanks for the tip!

milk

i'm back to trying sort out things post-Beltane. so, a few people have said they've changed their minds on various points. i want to reconfirm our aims so we don't piss any effort into the wind. splash page with a bimonthly changing image linking to external sites - separate? at the top of a news bl...

i've moved this subforum to the BtS section, seeing as the Volly WG things didn't take off and things were reordered a while back.

no worries, i'll lay out the options for her! (passed onto lukas, workshop-coordinator) actually, it sounds like she wants to run a workshop at the forest so i'm goin to pass this over to lukas. i'm also going to move this thread to a public forum. i don't think there's any reason it should be priva...

lynne; she said "could". 70 drums are not inevitable. ryan's syggestion could work.

now the no adblock for chrome blocker isn't an issue anymore, i might give it a try when i get net again at mine, though i do really enjoy the functionality of all the other firefox extensions i use.

milk

resolved, thanks!

milk

cheers for the tips. could you or someone else please pm moi their contact number? thanks v much.

milk

hey Forest community i've got a couple of friends who are moving flat very soon, but haven't been able to find any available van hire? does anyone know anyone who might be available and willing to help move things for a small fee? thanks to any help!

milk

or could be in the hall?

milk

a drum workshop/circle/whatnot would be fantastic!

i'm not sure that he's offering to give us the drums though, sounds more like just the use of them.

@catalina; cool beans. i 'll send you the password for the account. re getting to know how different forms of social media work; there is no one best practice paradigm, but the key, and kind of the whole point, is that as everyone has access to the same tools or 'outlet possibilities', both publishe...

milk

err... um... anyone?

milk

thanks, that would be braw!

i've looked around and they're all the older 20 pin variety (was just about to fit one i'd already taken out before i noticed..).

milk

a valiant diy effort has been made by ken at a fold-down baby changer in the volly toilets, but apparently it has already scared a parent into putting the matt on the floor to change their tot. i think it's time Forest put some proper consideration into buying a pro unit. yes, they are pricey, but i...

milk

fyi, Leona volunteered to be the FWG liason and go to EVS meetings to pass on information and take any queries that might need FWG discussion (though you're quickest asking about those on the BB as it will get answered either publicly or privately sooner)

milk

it is 400w, 24 pin

user2's cheapest is £39.95.

dabs is £9.63

is there anywhere better in town to buy such an item?

or could someone pls order it fae the dabs?

thx

milk

oh yar, special meeting, my bad.

Agreed that prices will go up between 12.5 and 20%. Another meeting to
hammer out details. KMs, Chris. Have volunteer meeting, email. Leona and
Hannah will organise meeting.

milk

general volly meets are down as first sunday of the month, from 5pm (after having an induction in the afternoon, but a organising something sooner via hannah would work.

then again, this is a Cafe and Events kinda thing, which is first Thursday at 7pm, but whatever likes.

milk

that is a perfect post for this forum!

http://hitchwiki.org/en/Main_Page - a wiki site with many articles and tips on hitching in general, seems a great resource.

also has region specific info pages - http://hitchwiki.org/en/United_Kingdom , http://hitchwiki.org/en/England , etc

and apologies - i'll not be able to make it due to my Beltane group meet, but i've scheduled a Web Team meeting for the afternoon of the day before.

The Web Team will be meeting in the Action Room on the afternoon of Wednesday the 14th of April from 1:30 until 5pm. We will firstly discuss the wireframe and layout of the refreshed website (see this thread for more and discussion.) and secondly get some work done and show those less knowledgeable ...

milk

now i'm somewhat confused

was hannah cool and all with BtS dealing with Volunteer Coordination?

milk

i know people have connected their laptops to the network at the forest and printed, but i've never set the printer up on any machine so i don't know the ins and outs, but i imagine it shouldn't be too hard if others have done it. tips anyone? by remote, do you mean from inside or out of the building?

n.b. problem has been sorted!

the old site is at http://theforest.org.uk/old_site/ , but i've just realised that pogo moved the folder with all the cia nights pdfs to the 'old_images' folder in the root of the web space, breaking the links from the old site - you will be able to grab them from there via ftp access!

milk

the splash will change every couple of months or so, but i thought i'd knock up a quick example to work with so folk got the gist. it doesn't have to be the one that goes live first, but it was an easy idea which has a good connection with Forest anyway so can be used at some point.
