We have a full house this morning. We have over 40 visitors which means the scouts and guides who have camped the night have had to give up the computers to give everybody a turn.

A Full House
We have a full house this morning. We have over 40 visitors which means the scouts and guides who have camped the night have had to give up the computers to give everybody a turn.
Sunday Morning Rush
It is Sunday morning and JOTI continues. 20 keas have just arrived at the door. They are very keen to get online and make contact with scouts, cubs, keas, guides and brownies from across the world
This is the first time the keas have used IRC chat so the crew are explaining the basic commands and getting them online. Europe and North & south America will currently be online.

Twister blows through Camp
Last night we has a twister that blow through the camp. The game was totally vicious with scouts literally falling over themselves and killing themselves with laughter.
Much fun was had by all.

So who is the Centre of Attention?
Andrew appears to be a huge hit with the girl guides as he shows them scoutlink using IRC chat.

19 Girl Guides Descend Upon Us
News Flash: Intelligence tells me that 19 girl guides are about to descend upon us imminently. Somehow, I think the scouts are going to go out of their way to show them how to use IRC chat ...... watch this space!
Network Issues
We experienced some network issues this morning. We are using the schools broadband and we needed more ip addresses than were available in the range we had been allocated.
The solution involved me driving 35km home to pick up an old Netgear WGR614 router. This router has a single RJ45 socket for inward traffic and then splits into 4 outward RJ45 sockets. The nice thing about it is it accepts a single inward IP address and then acts as a DHCP server allocating ip addresses to all our computers. This gave us 253 unique ip addresses which is more than enough for our requirements.

The tables get set out ......
The computers get put on top of the tables .....
Then everything needs to be cabled up .....
And finally we are ready to go!
