Running a Highlands ISP

November 16th, 2008

I have finally managed to upload the video I made from a presentation at the local Linux User Group. The topic is on the running of a Highlands Wireless ISP.

The quality is not the best. The lighting in the room was messing with the camera a bit and the sound is a bit low so you may want to turn up the volume. I am by no means a video expert, I just dumped the footage, whacked on a title and credits then encoded it twice, once to mpeg and the next to xvid.

Hopefully it will be educational/entertaining. Liscensed under a Creative commons By-Sa 2.5 liscense, you have permission to copy, give to folk and edit it so long as you attribute the source and distribute your versions under the same liscense.

First LUG meeting (Edit: presentation up)

October 24th, 2008

Yesterday was the first time I went to the local LUG/university linux society. I was meaning to go for some time but never got round to it. My mate Ed mentioned that a presentation on rainbow tables was the topic for the night so I made a point to attend.

One thing I was surprised at was that the head of the society and the speaker was Finux who is a Hacker Public Radio presenter. This meant that the talk he did for free software day was done at my uni and I missed it! Goddam that is annoying. What the hell was I doing that day?

Anyway, the presentation was done very well. I’m gonna try and get a copy of the slides and upload it here.

Edit: Here you go.

The next presentation (in 2 weeks time) is going to be about the internals of an ISP which should be very interesting. For those who are interested, this is a link to the website. The meet is every 2 weeks in the cinema, 3rd floor of the Abertay student union, Bell Street, Dundee.
