Yes but I think we have a couple of members who will be leaving in septemeber. So August is a better bet.
Any talks sound good to me; ooze knowledge in through my pores by osmosis if i bombard it enough ;)
Contradicts most of what I have learnt on the learning process :o) Security is an advanced topic but well worth learning. Get the Book "Hacking Exposed" and also read "the cuckoos Egg" which I beleive you now have.
David: Pink Floyd?
Yes.
Re.17th June - if I bring a computer is it possible to network using co-ax?
Please, can some one tell me what this coax stuff is? I think it could be possible for me to bring a coaz enabled hub. Remeind me nearer the time tho. Thanks D

okies, if somebody can get me a date (as in day of the month rather than female, although saying that...) I'll see if I can make it to this bbq. I might be able to bring one or two other alug lurkers as well... Sz David Freeman wrote:

Its another way to constructing a network. When I was at UEA it was all over the place. Rather than having ports into a central hub, a long piece of coax runs like a backbone across a number of machines. Coax has terminators at each end. NIC connects using a T-piece. I worked ok, but makes finding a problem on a long line difficult (you can't just check the leds on your hub!) Some hubs have a coax connector on the back that allows hub traffic to talk to coax. My small network at home is constructed from some RJ45 hub connectors (which go into a hub), and a COAX line. Ashley

Quick geek test for you all, when you read the word coax did you interpret it as 'co-axe' or 'cokes'? (as in coaxing an animal etc.) Most geeks read it as 'co-axe', normal people 'cokes'! Adam -- This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed Adam

probably most people who know read it as co-axe is because they know it stands for co-axial ;).. I used to be a TV engineer and they called coax, and I would not describe anybody I used to work with as a geek ;) Neill -- Open Source Specialists http://www.entora.co.uk/ Tel: +44 (0)701 0723686 Fax: +44 (0)870 3214368
