Talks
- we are still in the dead-ish part of the semester
- TJ made a poster for lroop's dot com bubble talk (10/9), also ordered pizza this morning
- stroucki notes that they got cut off a bit around the margins, especially logos
- next week
- aaaaaaah midterms
- TJ will dig up an old talk (10/16)
- stroucki will give an FPGA-related talk on 10/23 (probably algorithms on FPGAs)
- haven't heard back from Dave O'Hallaron on which dates he wants
- we're running out of slots; only 10/30, 11/13 are left
- TJ will pressure him on Thursday
- Maybe gdr can give a talk on AR stuff?
Operations
- still having networking gremlins
- addressed the main impact to hosted VMs, but we're still having weird/inconsistent routing to some of our machines in Wean
- still need to sort B6 for demosplash.
- do we need to buy UPS batteries?
- no consensus, remember that we took all the active hardware out of Rack 5
- Prism name change
- tparenti: They came by on 9/14 and we did everything we could on our end. Their VM still needs some configuration changes on their end in order to fully pick up the change.
Demosplash
- just received ABTech invoice for 9/29 AV testing session ($22 for 2 hours' labor)
- since this gets billed to Catherine's accounts and isn't just a normal student org journal transfer, tparenti will ask them if they can roll it into the invoice for the whole event
- has gdr gotten the hotel for swerdmurd?
- ONE MONTH AWAY.
