Perry's NZNOG'08 IP-over-something challenge!
by Nathan Ward 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

I hereby issue the challenge to get IP running over the dishes photographed at: http://unobtainium.braintrust.co.nz/~nward/dishes/ Normally, you'd stand at one and talk, and someone standing at the other would hear you.. you've all played with these before. Perry's challenge is to make two laptops talk to each other, using sound. Note: These photos were taken in winter, which is why those girls have lots of warm stuff on. I have a tshirt on today, but it's raining a little. -- Nathan Ward

Does one person standing at one dish speaking IP and the person at the other end reconstituting packets count as a solution?

And I think it's the behaviour of said student hackers we care about, so aside from the enjoyment factor it may prove effective as well!

Sir Ed's Live feed
by Ian Batterbee 22 Jan '08

Just out of interest, was anyone able to watch the funeral on tvnz's website ? I tried it on a host of different browsers and settings and the best I got was an "error in page" in IE, and a flash app in firefox etc that wouldn't display any video at all (but I could change the bitrate settings) Just wondering if it was just me / my connection ?

NZNOG 2008 - Call for Lightning Talks ===================================== The NZNOG 2008 call for lightning talks is now open! Lightning talks are scheduled for 9am sharp, this Friday 25 January. Lightning talks are short talks/presentations on relevant topics that last no more than 10 minutes. They may be as quick as one minute. This time limit is strictly enforced. Talks on topics that are timely, interesting, or a little crazy, are invited. If you've thought about presenting at a future NZNOG, a lightning talk this year is a great place to start! The use of slides is not required although most people choose to use them. Speakers typically prepare three or four slides. Ideally you will provide final slides in PDF format so we can present of a common laptop. If you have other applications or anything special you wish to use in your presentation, you are welcome to use your own laptop, but please be ready for a speedy setup. To submit a proposal for a Lightning Talk, send an email to nznog08(a)jonnynet.net *** Proposals are due by 3pm Thursday 24 January, so hurry *** You can find some useful advice on giving Lightning Talks at: http://www.justanotherperlhacker.org/lightning/ http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html http://www.metaart.org/maca/perl/lightning/lightning_what.html Thanks!

Based on the numbers in this press release: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/CU0801/S00171.htm and combined with our own figures and info from the non publically owned stations, I'd estimate that NZ broadcasters were doing in excess of 1 gigabit/s. There might have been a few bottlenecks around the place.
