Today, (not Todai as someone may think, anyone got the joke?) I will be attending the setup of yet another computerparty. This time its a little out of town, to the north in Malvik. The hall has room for more than 400 people, and I am, together with Geir (pulz) scheduled to do the networking and serverfarm-administrative jobs. We pulled together a bunch of ideas yesterday from people like Arnvid, Roy and Svein on how this may be done.. and thus I present my ideas to you:

Four of the five DSL lines are set up on Cisco 827 DSL-routers with an OSPF-area and a equal cost. The fifth router is reserved for traffic from NOC and crew. By rising the cost of this router the OSPF will put the load on the other four before affecting the crews network. The OSPF-area puts its data on to the network, where a Cisco 4500 router pics it up and does the main job of acting as default gateway for the entire network. Tied to this router is also a Squid proxy that will allow for even smoother downloads as it gets populated by webpages and content. Ports of unwanted services will be blocked with ACLs on the 4500 router along with ACLs to allow NOC to telnet etc.

And if anyone bothered, I’m trying to learn Cisco IOS 🙂

Elsewere in my head the summer is aproaching at speed. TLUG had a little, unformal gathering at Choco Boco Bakklandet on Tuesday, only four people showed up, but thats ok. We decided to go forward with ideas to visit places that use Linux in their daily work, and are looking for companies and schools who do that. If you have an idea, contact me 🙂

Also, my good friend mr Dj Xtendency have finally gotten to it, and put up his own webpage.. If you like chilled, hardcore and hardtrance, please check out xtendency.soundstation.net.

Thats all for now folks.. oh no, right.. Check out the gallery, I’ve added some new images to both YWL and some others. Also, over at tlf.cx there is some new images of people from IRC (jodal,saddlark,smygarn,Knuta,kalve) in the people-gallery. TTYL, gotta work 🙂
