Snow summons

Today we spent a few more hours preparing the building wide network for activation and added a first broadband link that Anthony ordered from Bethere.co.uk. tests showed it was running at a good 16mb down and 1mb up which is a good start.

In the coms room the giant patch bay has been reorganised and ready for action in good time for the Opening event here at the end of  Feb.. By then we expect to have also patched in a building wide audio/video system to enable some more options for play.

The Mac Sharez server currently streaming PolicedFM will also be moved over from its temporary host at http://bit.spc.org. If you want to have a drift trough its contents and you have a local wired or wireless link at the old police station itself - mac users try afp://sharez.config/ and PC users \\sharez.config\policed 

With that in mind please contact policed@spc.org if you want to get yourself patched in from your studio space @£6 a month.. for which you can get to the web and a bunch of fun stuff on the local network..

You can test out the connection from the ground floor over an open wireless link named OldPoliceStation which we will extend to each floor.

Policed will be linked into the OWN from the roofspace from where it would be fun to also be possible to forge more distant linkups.. and host some local radio.  please get in touch if you are interested.
