OT: Surplus equipment available
by Richard Naylor 18 Jan '03

18 Jan '03

Howdy all, I have some mature equipment available. 1x PDP 11/73 (also 11/23 and 11/03 processors) 4 MB RAM (i think - lots of other modules) 8 serial ports (DLV-11J - no modem controls) 2x 8 inch floppy RX-01 (128k I think) 3x RL01 Removable disk drives (5MB each) (lots of cartridges/packs) 1x DEQNA ethernet lotsa other modules, including a unibus tester and Q-bus stalk card (for scoping cards) I also have a Tape drive controller and a card reader, altho VUW currently have the card reader. It currently runs RT-11/TSX and I also have copies of RSX-11M V3.2 or V4. There is word processing (Lex-11) Fortran and Basic and probably others I've forgotten. An old DECUS database manager. And yes it has games like Space Invaders and Adventure (read "Soul of a New MAchine by Tracey Kidder") My kids grew up with it, so theres a classy menu system that asks quiz questions everytime you select something, especially the games. I think theres my old UUCP mail system on it as well as a DECUS one that doesn't network. Its all original DEC kit complete with service manuals and circuit diagrams and diagnostic progs. I used to work for a DEC OEM, so its been well looked after. Any interest ? rich - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZNOG 2003 - Vote Count So Far
by Donald Neal 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Days since I asked people who expect to attend to express a preference: 8 Preferring UniForum: 8 Preferring Waikato: 8 Will attend either, not worried: 2 Volunteering to help: 1 The University of Waikato expect an attendance from them which is about five higher if the Waikato option is chosen. I don't see a clear outcome here. I think I'll go on holiday. Then again, what if we did both - UniForum NZ in July 2003 and Waikato in February 2004? - Donald Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

Evening all On Sun, Jan 12, 2003 at 11:00:26PM +1300, Richard Naylor said: > The other issue is that unless we get Si his helper (yes there is a job > going), then I suspect you get me or Si, but not both. As Richard so subtly alludes, Citylink is hiring, to replace some of Jonny (who's bunked off on his OE) and some of me (who's moving to other projects within Citylink). I prefer not to think of the new role as Si's little helper, rather as a fully functional member of the tech team at Citylink, but well, whatever works. To keep it brief, I'm not going to quote a full job description of what we're after (although rest assured, one does exist), yawl get to guess, based on what you know of what Jonny and I did/do. I will observe a couple of points though: - it's a job in Wellington. There will be the odd trip to Auckland to stare at Level 48, but otherwise, it's Wellington. No whining. - willingness to do (occasional) outside plant work. That means a drivers license, and an ability to cope with ladders/heights. Likewise, the network in Wellington is constrained over a fairly small area, so be emotionally prepared to walk places occasionally as part of your work. - runumeration is flexible - we're a community network, with not a great deal of cash to fling around, but we will pay to get the right person. Other than that, it's a cool place to work, small team (15-20 people), lots of variety and challenge, flexibility, yadayadayada. CV's in *sane* formats to jobs(a)citylink.co.nz by the end of next week (Fri 24 2002). Please feel free to pass this on to whomever may be interested.

T-shirts are no problem, if we want to add them to the reg fee. They cost about $15 from memory, depending on the quality of the shirt (we just had a bunch made). Probably an ideal sponsorship opportunity. Tony - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

This is cool, but in my experiance the sticking point is getting the persenters material in time. This isn't one of those conferences where we can hold the threat of not being allowed to speak if you don't get the presentation in on time. > Naturally, any plans involving video will require someone to actually > record the sessions in the first place :) We do have a professional unit that does that at Waikato. They will cost a bit though. If people want, I can follwo up. The difference a profesional makes here is huge.
