computax moments ?
hi,
1. could someone that was there today send a short report at the end of the
day ?
2. will i need some 'id card' on thurthday to get in, or will just
telling that 'i am from the linux booth' in the entrance be enough ?
3. about the network, it seems that routing to abroad is not working. i
don't know why, but i will ask amir about it tonight, he'll most probably
have a solution. in any case, netscape that was configured to use our
proxy server works well, as reln (hmm, names are harder the emails) set
it up.
4. what about all the 'heavy math stuff' - anything installed ? shown ?
works ?
5. i've set up the names of the machines (computax1.actcom.co.il etc.) as
well as reverse lookup. i think it works ok.
6. it might be possible to set up a quick web server on one of the
machines, with a little page. but will be usefull only if done tonight,
so perhaps - too late, till next time....
note: traffic on such a server will NOT impose extra load on the link,
since currently most of the traffic is made INTO the computax network,
and the bandwidth OUT OF the LAN there isn't used much. so lets use it up
(i.e. open some window on the computax machines, so we'll be able to
'talk' to the folks there during the show, if/when there is time.
(i saw MANY windows open there, but nobody responded to talk requests -
did u see them at all ?)
also, you could open a guest account (with NO password) on all machines,
so we'll be able to log in and run 'w' :)
7. what about the 'emulators' - are they working ?
8. i guess it's too late about those 'bruchors' - didn't have time to
complete it, certainly not to print and photocopy.
9. you should ASK the management if the phone line costs like a regular
phone line, or they have a special 'taarif' as is done on some such
exhibitions. if not - get your wallets ready for thurthday (if there will
be a problem, i'd come with a pinkas chekim to temporarily pay what will
be needed.
10. did you get the projectors installed ?
