    I know what you mean with the techs in GMIT - I did my sw engineering degree there
    a few years ago when it was an RTC. If the same techs are still there they're a dry bunch.
    Is Tony McDonald still lecturing there ?

    Yes Tony is still around, along with Ted, Gabrial, Damien, Sean, John, and the rest, that are not coming to mind at the moment. I see you are based in Japan, did you do the FAS thing?

    This also entails Open Source software (GNU Linux // BSD) this the part that the tec's dont like because they think its means more work for them, theirs a long story behind this.

    When we were setting up the soc we borrowed NUIgalways constitution: )
    syx how and who talked the admins in yere palce into letting ye have a server?
    The founders of the society back in the 70s.

    They think OSS is more work for them because they are ignorant. Plain and simple.
    They need to provision a network connection for ye, that entails giving ye a length of CAT5, assigning an IP, setting up the DNS records etc. exactly like a windows box.

    They're either ignorant, lazy or incompetent.
    Possibly a combination of any or all of the above.

    Tony, Ted and Gabriel I remember - the rest must be new. Tony Mac was a disaster. Des Chambers is gone I suppose - he was the best lecturer they had ............

    Came to Japan originally in 98 on the FAS thing. I highly recommend it if you get a chance and you want to get out of Ireland after graduating. There's at least 4 or 5 people that I know of that did FAS after graduating from the S/W development course. There's loads of countries you can come to, Taiwan, Japan, China and a host of European places. I've actually done FAS twice - first time in Basel Switzerland, and then Tokyo.
