Sorry I couldn't make this meeting. Mate – nix and matias are passionate about capitalising on the current popularity of mate. They have Gooooouurds for the kitchens, nice ones from Argentina. For a price, customers can get a Gooourd of Mate and unlimited free boiling water. £3 deposit for Gooourd. ...

The photo kit that was donated is now in the darkroom.

Hi, Oak, in the action room, appears to have a dying hard drive. I've run lots of low-level tests and they all say bad things. A lot of blocks/sectors aren't even responding to query (with a response timeout of 5 minutes) and fsck claims to have fixed a lot of errors but then more reappear on reboot...

ChaoticReality

We could possibly have it so the power can be cut from the action room if needs be. A more secure lockable door on the balcony? Is there any way to fit a frame so we can have a door at the top of the stairs? We also need to find some way of deterring people from going out the fire door in the baseme...

ChaoticReality

Hi, So the balcony was left unlocked tonight and me and Dai had to chuck people out of the studios (We didn't have a balcony key). We put chairs/ladders/boards across the stairs which I think discouraged anything further but I found at least one broken paintbrush in the hall. The organisers also did...

ChaoticReality

So lets get it fixed?

ChaoticReality

FYI: gareth the second is gareth the night manager

ChaoticReality

That sucks. Perhaps if anyone else is interested, we can dig it out and try and get it working again.

Burritos at the Forest are consistently amazing, filling, tasty and due to their nature you can mix it up a bit...want cheese? salsa? jalapenos? nice. please don't get rid of them, they are the future....and if they stay please do not get rid of Jalepenos, me likey very much and if they leave you w...

ChaoticReality

Hooray!

I think we should have Naan Pizzas on the menu as a permanent thing. They don't take long to make, they taste amazing and everybody loves pizza!

ChaoticReality

What happened to this? Was the menu change only for the festival, or did it never get done?

ChaoticReality

Did we apply for / get this grant?

ChaoticReality

What happened to this? Slushies would be awesome!

ChaoticReality

Ok, I can fix this. It is a problem specific to that one computer. No matter what I do, the printer setup will not keep a simple setting. Every time the computer restarts, it resets itself so it tries to print A4 from tray 1 (when the A4 is actually in tray 2). The (temporary) solution is this: 1) P...

ChaoticReality

I think people will break it. You'll get some twat who thinks it's funny to jump onto it, and the support will eventually break.

ChaoticReality

Ok, so Nerea has come up with a cool idea and is helping me organise it. FANCY DRESS! Come as a member of your favourite band / your favourite singer / something related to music and then sing a song on the Karaoke related to your costume! We still need people to help organise a bit of food, making ...

ChaoticReality

Well, someone told me we had one and I saw one in an undisclosed location on Saturday, so I think it does exist.

ChaoticReality

Shit. I was asleep.

ChaoticReality

Awesome

ChaoticReality

We need a new 'What is Forest?' poster, since some twat set fire to the other one.

ChaoticReality

USB2 is backwards compatible with USB1, it just runs slower (like 10/100mb ethernet stuff)

ChaoticReality

We didn't use it in the end, since I didn't have time to burn enough of my collection to disc. I ran the karaoke from my laptop using PyKaraoke . You're right about CD+G. It uses an interleaved method of writing the data, given that audio cds have an error-correcting feature and don't get thrown by ...

ChaoticReality · Re: Front of House 18/01/2009 I like Wednesdays!

I like Wednesdays!

ChaoticReality

We will be running it again, I'm sure.

I have upped the size of my collection and so it will be even more amazing next time.

ChaoticReality

So it seemed to be working yesterday, which is odd. I wonder whether it had a heat-related overload.

I know some of the stuff in there has warranties, does the amp?

ChaoticReality

I thought we were going to look at moving Drumgasm to a different day because Thursday is megamegacrowded (sound team meet, cave meet, cave jam, GMYW rehearsal, two different action groups meet on Thursdays, etc)

ChaoticReality

The date is set. Thursday February 19th. 7pm until you pass out/go home. The Forest Volunteer Army will party party party! We will have karaoke and other awesome stuff. Do you want to help organise it? Yes. Yes you do. Come and talk to me and together we will create amazingness. I love you, let's d...

Word, brother. We did good.

I suggested timer switches for some of the stuff that people sometimes forget, like the Bain Marie or the grill but was told that people would just fiddle with them and fuck them up.

ChaoticReality

Awesome.

Let's get together, have a meeting and get some work done on the site.

I started a topic here: http://theforest.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=5669

There is no way we get 4/5 Mbps, let alone 8.

I will check when I get into the Forest today but I think we are only getting 2Mbps tops.

Let's give in the notice.

The new website will have an amazing feature that auto-updates the events listing. I have written the code for it, and it works. I'm just waiting for someone other than me to give a fuck about getting the new website running. I have posted in the forum, I have asked people face to face and still not...

Looks good. Be are highly recommended by all my techie friends and I have personal reasons for disliking BT; Have you heard of Phorm? It's a tracking service that watches every webpage you visit so you can get more targeted adverts and *cough*spam*cough* emails from your service provider. It's a mas...

Well, I've been persuaded around to trying the book case in the (brand new) Aubergine Room. The amazing Forest PainTeam has just finished work (I walked through my door about 10 mins ago) on painting the front room. Mad props to Charlotte, Nerea, Taskin and Cyrielle, who worked really hard to make i...

Hi, Dai and Jamie just asked me for help because the sound for the film had stopped suddenly. I prodded the amp a bit and I can get a very very very weak signal (volume up to max and you can barely hear it) from the computer and DVD, but nothing proper. I think probably the driver unit for output is...

So I just went down to the Cave to play the piano for a bit and noticed it was making a strangle noise. Upon opening the top of the piano, I discovered that 8 empty cans of Tennants had been crammed inside the piano, damaging several of the hammers and dampers. I've fixed it up as best I can but the...

ChaoticReality

I've got it. It's safely stored in my flat so it doesn't get lost. I'm happy to copy it all over when the drive is back but if you want to do ti beforehand, let me know when you'll be in Forest and I'll bring it in with me.

ChaoticReality

Every WD drive I've ever had has failed on me. That said, they are now owned by the much more reliable Seagate, so I may have to revise my opinion. Please go ahgead and order the drive. It seems that Nix asked you after he asked me but didn't tell me, so I'll take it that he wants you to deal with i...

It was awesome. We're doing it again soon, I hope.

You have a big master switch for the 2nd circuit in a locked office somewhere which can be flipped by the last person to leave the building. It shuts every non-essential thing down, leaving them with just enough light to get out the building & lock the door behind them. Bad idea, I think. Suddenly ...

ChaoticReality

I'll order one this week.

ChaoticReality

Yup, 1st Feb, 7pm?

Is this good for everyone?

The last two have been aborted because it was only me and Ida present.
