Lost at Uniforum :/
by Mark Foster 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Ive misplaced my Targus carryback (designed to carry a notebook computer) during the Uniforum conference. If anyone who was at the conference has picked up or remembers seeing a Black bag around the size of a briefcase - probably in or around the Amy Johnson room (where registrations were run from) id appreciate it if they would let me know. Reward Offered :) Mark. (Feeling somewhat sheepish) - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Election night results site peering
by Ewen McNeill 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

A client of mine (Catalyst IT) will be hosting the website with the "on the night" election results. The website is a set of static pages (which are updated regularly in a push from the central computer collating the results as they come in; Catalyst IT are also operating this computer at another facility). The website will be hosted at one (or possibly two) addresses out of the Catalyst IT 203.96.153.224/27 CIDR address range (allocated out of a Paradise block). This address range is advertised into WIX (WIX router is 202.7.0.72). They have a 100Mbps connection into Citylink so local bandwidth should be adequate. However for both efficiency and redundancy they are keen to take as much advantage of the peering on WIX as possible. Can I have an indication from the ISPs as to: - how many are accepting /27 routes from WIX? (I've heard some are not accepting routes smaller than /24, or even larger) - for those that do not routinely accept a /27 advertisement on WIX, whether they'd be prepared to accept that /27 advertisement around the election night period (or put in a temporary static route) - how many are advertising their dialup, adsl, cable, etc blocks into WIX (so that the return path is also peered) Comments from anyone that peers at APE (and would accept a /27 route), but doesn't have any peering/connection to Citylink/WIX would also be appreciated. At present the cheapest price for transit to APE (from Wellington) is probably outside the budget remaining, but the issue is still being considered. (Of course if someone wants to offer cheap transit to APE.... :-) ) Messages here (nznog) or directly to me (ewen(a)naos.co.nz or ewen(a)catalyst.net.nz) would be appreciated.

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 13 Jul '02

13 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
