Phil,
As for whether our existing machine will be back up, well that is in the hands of james cotter and stephen brown. James has yet to implement the firewall, which would give us our limited access. Myself and dave have offered to help, but he hasn't given us any access so far. He will be back from holidays this week (I think), I'll be in on friday, and I'll see if I can have a look at the setup.
Presumably bart has filled you in on the new machine, just to be clear on it, we will have full access to it, from within and without the college. Bart also probably knows best when exactly it will be up and running also. It will be a while yet and the CC are still comming out with more obstacles which JK is having to knock down again and again ... we can now not have a mail server without what they consider to be adequate virus protection! But leave all this up to JK.
I'm fascinated by this monopoly, and the mysterious way you refer to it. You still haven't told me what major decisions were made, I can't think of any. Are you blind!!! I would not use the word monopoly though ... clique is more appropriate .... it's not that any MAJOR decisions haev been made but some people are completely ignored and left out of alll discussions (appart from this list). I agree with Bon on this one and so do a number of other
Dave will tell you about the minds cd, it is almost done. We need to make cardboard/paper sleeves for the cd's. Has the final content been decided on and approved by the committee? As for the sleaves if black & white is OK I guess I can run them off in
As for the plastic axe, it was well deserved. Phil, on this one I STRONGLY dissagree. Me & Gareth were trying to give constructive criticism to help put together the MOST IMPORTANT document a society has and you and Kev kept cutting us down both verbally and in
The biggest stumbling block is still the firewall and JK is useing some of his contacts in Industry to try get one sponsired but it will be a few weeks yet till anything happens. people. the research lab for yous. the end even physically (with the axe) and in fairness I really feel an appology to me and Gar is what was called for not a clubing!
