Shiminay

What's a good time to arrive? I can't speak for brother's Jewell and Murphy, but I'm happy enough to arrive early and help set up the room etc.

po0k

I'm planning to head down on Thursday.
Should have enough space for your gear if you like.

Sniipe

We usually have it in the Anno Santo cause 1) that's where we normally have it, 2) the good folk there know us and what to expect from us (they're pretty much family ) and 3) it was really close to where I lived and I helped organise the first one

It's been in NUIG a few times when P00k was in college there and in the Comp Soc

Shiminay

Methinks I doth smell the employee not acting with the consent of the employer!

po0k

I've spoken with the owner back in January.

Would people be interested in a future event in Squareeyes?
Could remove the need to lug rigs around, though BYOPC accomodation was mentioned.

Joker_Galway

some miscommunication on my behalf. sorted now. I don't work there.

ya thats me mate... at your service

I know there is def capability for a large gathering in there. as to what games? I suppose whatever the popular vote is.

The most fun i've had down there in recent times has been the fugitives mod that they made in house. Fugitives.its a large number pf players that make it so good. basically cat and mouse with automatic weaponery and all made by two of the lads. the same is planned for arma but it has to be tested for reliability first methinks.

if you are looking for any news then make sure ya sign up to the forum. news and events normally get thrown up there

Well last time I tried to get it going and no dice, so this time I'll do my best so it wont happen...

Shiminay

My PC is still broken and I fear this will mean I can't go to the LAN, but this weekend will be dedicated to it and nothing else. Wish me luck brothers...

po0k

Give us a shout if you want a hand or need something.

Shiminay

I have one more plan which involves pulling out the battery and moving the "wipe bios" jumper for a minute and then putting everything back and praying

The hardware obviously works cause we had XUbuntu running on it, but after that, I dunno!

po0k

nLiteOS = Windows CD + drivers, service packs etc. rolled together and shat out as a custom widnows install cd.

Shiminay

looking at that now, seems awfully small for a windows cd... Download's only 4 megs - does it read from your current windows instal or something?

Edit: I think I get it now, I'll put it into the lappy at home and use the XP cd and point it at that and make with the magic yes?

Tar.Aldarion

Once more it is the one weekend a month I am in Dublin...bah!

strat

Jasus Dav, hope ye can resuscitate her in time for the festivities. God speed good sir!

Shiminay

No joy, nothing doing, heart broken I am.

I just can't understand it, the hardware appears to be fine as I can run Xubuntu on the machine without any problems, it just will not load or allow me to install Windows

What are the symptoms? Where is it going wrong?

If you can give me your system details it would help figure out the problem.

Shiminay

Well, it's ALIVE!!! Long story short, the hard disks thought they were 1TB and not 500GB and so Windows wouldn't install. So I'll see ye Friday!

*wanders off to get COD4 and Orange Box and any other game he's missed out on in the last 6 months*

I'm still out of this one unfortunately, got my first A+ exam the following week.

Shiminay

Bummer, but good luck with it!

Strat - I've got 2 500GB drives that need filling with stuff anyway having lost everything. Is Jeff going? I'll need that FTP server!!!

Doodee

Huzzah!


As has been mentioned, there will be gaming during the day! everything else can happen at night. This will hopefully cater to both sides of the scales.

only 3 days to go

Art_Wolf

Are only 16 people signed up for this? Is there some other registration besides lanparty?

Doodee

nope, just lanparty.ie

Art_Wolf

Do more people generally turn up on the night?

Doodee

well we have a group of regulars, about 8 - 10 that will turn up when informed but i don't know what they're position is for this LAN.

Sure if you know anyone who might like to come along then invite them.
If I find out about the others then I'll post here.

electrofelix

Any particular reason that COD4 was removed from the list and changed to COD2?

I've got my fingers crossed that I can get the ClamAV scan sorted over night so that I can present you guys with a 'no windows virus on my linux box' report

Doodee

no idea, especially since we are currently playing COD4

Shiminay

Well, that was a savage LAN as always. All the competitions, and the prizes (my €300's going down a treat with the credit card people)! It's a shame there weren't more people there to avail of it. The COD4 was great craic and then the Gun Game stuff was good for the LULZ

Thanks lads for the making it happen, p00k for my lift down and amp for my lift back up

electrofelix

hear, hear!

As usual GL ticked all the necessary boxes for me.

Some good games, a bit of crack, and getting killed a couple of hundred times

Oh, and playing COD4 on linux was the icing on the cake

po0k

No, sorry. This thread was for a lan back in March 2008.

Doodee

Can you lock this thread please pook.
