Spaces free in exciting BiCon flat - apply now!

[ciphergoth]

After careful negotiations with lots of people, an alternative BiCon flat thing emerges.

One flat: ciphergoth (that's me!), ergotia, Lily, Jackie, countess_sophia, coracaskia

Another flat: purplerabbits, babysimon, ajva, jhg, 2 unknown others.

Spaces in this exciting and prestigious BiCon flat in a very des res will doubtless go soon, so book now and avoid the rush!

Update: I should of course mention the other cool flat that should be nearby, with dr_d, katyha, adjectivemarcus, Nick, Lizzy, lolliepopp...

Do I have to mail giolla or have you done that? xxx

Gosh, It's all so complex I can't keep up...
Glad it's turned out in such a satisfactory manner though: two divine flats, or should that be dens of iniquity...

Do I have to e-mail Giolla about this or is it all arranged now?

I had mail from Giolla and it seems as though I should be in one of those two flats

On balance, it'll probably not be the one that's full

Yay! That'll be cool.

I've mailed Giolla. No word back as yet, but I have every confidence etc...

You've not received a reply because I've not received your mail.
Other than that I'd just like to say that I hate you all, I _currently_ have a workable
list for distributing people between 23 flats.........

See you at BiCon

We love you too. Seriously, thanks for being flexible, of course we should have sorted this out yonks ago.

You haven't received mail from me because I currently can't ping bob.bob.bofh.org; I have three mails to you waiting in my mailq.

That's because there's this thing callled a firewall which only allows through certain typoes of traffic, of which ping isn't one of them.

Just becuase it doesn't doesn't mean it's dead.

OK, well I don't know what my MTAs problem was before but I've forced through all those mails now. I tend to think letting through ICMP ECHO requests is a good idea though.

ping-flooding DOS? Not that I'm hugely knowledgable, but maybe if you were paranoid...

Why would I want people to be able to map my network by pinging my entire address range? All people need to know is if the machine is currently offering the service the require. In the case of mail this can be readily established by telneting to port 25, as you can trace route to the edge of the network you can pretty much check connectivity, you can then check the service nothing more is needed.

Three divine flats -there's also the one with me, adjectivemarcus, drdraycott, lolliepopp, Nick and Lizzy.

Glad you've all got it sorted out! I hope we all end up near each other -I believe adjective marcus has requested that.

babysimon, what about trishpiglet - isn't she coming?

Re: complexity

[babysimon]

Umm, no. No money, not a huge amount of inclination. I think Trish is using up her being away from home quota on Paris and Toulouse.
