[Admin-discuss] New putty, test please :)
by Andrew Harford 31 Oct '09

Hey, I've build a new redbrick putty based on the latest version with the usual button patches. This version is also set to default to UTF-8 :) http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~receive/files/putty-redbrick-utf8-20091031.exe I'd appreciate if some of you guys could test it for a while and let me know if there's any problems. There's a utf8 test file in /home/member/r/receive/test.txt - you mightn't be able to see all the characters in the file, but it should look a lot better than it did in old putty. thanks, andrew. -- Andrew Harford You talk about vengeance.

Putty tray does that (I think), I've no idea how to do it with putty. If you guys want to give out putty tray aswell then that's cool with me (I don't use the windows bits anyway), but imo it makes sense to fix putty cause lots of people are used to it. -- Andrew Harford You can't win, Darth.

[Admin-discuss] Q&A admin session
by Cian Brennan 19 Oct '09

So receive, (probably with my help) will be running a questions and answers session tomorrow, before the admin test. We're only doing this if people A: Are going to turn up B: Have actual questions So, if both of these things are true of you, either reply to this mail, or email receive(a)redbrick.dcu.ie saying you're interested. If you've got any particularly crazy questions, feel free to email them to us ahead of time. If we are doing it, it'll be on at 7ish, in DCU (exact location to be confirmed when people say they're coming, but we'll probably meet in C&S). Thanks Cian -- --
