The story I heard was thata Vixie wanted wireless to his room. Now we all know how likely that is to happen in NZ. Geek Conference or no Geek conference =) The other 100 people there had no problem getting email over the wireless that was around.

I'm not sure which hotel he was staying in when having trouble (for complicated reasons conference attendees ended up in two different hotels) -- I was able to dial out of the Hotel Grand Chancellor, but only with a very long timeout (over 60 seconds) to allow the modem negotiation to work. Got about 28K8 connections IIRC. The Centra hotel appeared to have analogue POTS lines into the rooms, but I didn't try dialing out there. The wireless OTOH was very handy -- thanks to those who arranged it. (Even if the ADSL did occassionally have problems it all mostly worked, and was very handy.) The wireless definitely worked as far as the chairs outside the bar, as I saw someone using it there; inside the bar I don't know, but it was close enough it probably should have worked. >But, seeing that most hotels (outside NZ at least) offer a bedside >Ethernet port, something should've been arranged IMO. You must have a very different definition of "most" to the one I use. I've never actually seen this, even in hotels that advertise it. (Comment from reception at one hotel when I'd booked into a room advertising this "oh, we don't do that". No, I wasn't pleased.)

More thanks ...
by Tim John 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

I had a great few days and would also like to thank everyone involved in the organisation AND everyone who attended. It was good to put a face to some of the names that appear on the list. The speakers were excellent and if the same caliber can be attracted next and subsequent years, I think it could be a start of something successful. Unfortunately, I missed the evening entertainment so didn't have a chance to drink with folk or dent 2Day.com's bar tab ! However, Thursday Night Curry in Wellington could be on the cards for that ... Thanks again all.

Uniforum 2002 Conference
by Mark Foster 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

Just a quick note to say thanks to all those NZNOG'rs whos efforts helped make the Uniforum/NZNOG Conference a success. Nice to put faces to some of the names which crop up here from time to time. Off the top of my head and by no means officially, but thanks are owed to some NZNOG-Specific folks who helped us out: Citilink (802.11 gear, which was well used) Dean - for helping arrange the above. Nathan Mercer, Microsoft NZ - The use of a Data Projector. Steve Philips, ICONZ - The use of a Data Projector, and also the Packeteer (For the record, we did 1.1GB for the 4 day period, so that wasnt so bad on a JS1200 connection was it. :) The packeteer most certainly helped keep utilisation reasonable. Roger De Salis / Cisco, for getting Paul Vixie out. He certainly kept everyones attention and is a fairly easy speaker to listen to. Martin Kealey - for organising the whole thing. Probably also need to thank Peace Software for letting him do so much during work hours :) Lin Nah - for much needed motivation and assistance in the logistics side. + Any others who I havnt mentioned. See you all at the next one. :) Mark Foster - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Heads up to Xtra and people receiving mail from Xtra
by Simon Byrnand 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Hi All, Just noticed this morning, that Xtra seem to be sending mail from some "new" mailserver ip addresses recently, which include: 210.86.15.144 210.86.15.145 210.86.15.147 (and probably others) Unfortunately that whole /24 seems to be blacklisted by several different spamlists as either a "dialup range" or as a source of spam. See http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=210.86.15.144 for one example. (Note: slow link) So if you use any ip address based spam blocking you may not be receiving mail from xtra anymore until you allow that range..... :) Regards, Simon Byrnand iGRIN Internet - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

CUG
by Philip D'Ath 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

I'm thinking about forming a Cisco Users Group (CUG) in Auckland, and modelling it after other CUGs such as http://www.cisco-users.org/. I know I will have the support of Cisco Systems, and Cisco's distributors. What I'm not sure about is how much interest there is out there for such an idea among the Cisco populous. I'm not aware of anything like this currently in NZ. Is anyone else aware of such a usergroup? I would like the CUG to be for engineering people, not sales people. Based on other CUGs, common things that the CUG would do are: * Technology presentations (e,g. Understanding IPSec, Queueing Options, etc) * Study groups, for people seeking Cisco Qualifications * Solutions that people have found to problems that take more than 30s to describe * Discussion groups (perhaps IP in NZ, peering, APE, etc). * Demos of new products (the kind where your allowed to touch the boxs). I would like the meetings to be once a month, and I'll probably ask a different distributor/Cisco/vendor/reseller to sponsor coke/beer/pizza each time. I can probably manage to do a lot of presentations myself to get things going, but I don't profess to being an expert in every field, and I'd hate to think I was preaching to people who knew more than myself (which I would be if no one offered me any support). So what do you think. Would I be wasting my time? Philip D'Ath, BCMS, MCP, CCNA, CCDA. http://www.ifm.net.nz/
