Art wolf: /* gizmo */

After many users both layed claim to and denied their affiliation with the tag "emo", it has been decided that the wiki is the best Redbrick tool with which to lay the matter to rest. Here is a list of known emos on Redbrick and pics with which to both prove their "emoness" and identify/avoid them in the real world.

==aisling==

03:20 < Aisling > but i feel emo
^^ Proof enough.

==atlas ==
[[Image:Atlas_emo.jpg]]

Although not showing some of the more classic emo signs this person never seems to be happy, and has almost never been recorded smiling. That, and his other somewhat "unusual" habits make him emo enough for this page.

atlas: I shall do no such thing

== dregin ==
[[Image:emo_dregin.JPG]]

'''BREAKING NEWS: '''Dregin just came out of the emo closet to Castle in #lobby. Check [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~dregin/emo_out.txt here] for proof.

There is also evidence of dregin's allegiance to the ultra-faggy ''straight edge'' trend.

13:06 < Attol> someone recently told me they'd gone straight edge, can't remember who
13:07 < Dregin> Attol: It WAS ME!

The proof is undeniable.

==ornat==
[[Image:emo_ornat.jpg]]

Don't let this user's seemingly happy facade fool you, as this photo evidence proves her emoness. Also has a strange obsession with hugs.

==phaxx==
[[Image:DSC01727.jpg]]

Apart from the trademark frown, phaxx appears here to be taking an uncharacteristically feminine interest in hair, make-up and wearing womens clothing; all hallmarks of the emo.

== twiggy ==
[[Image:emo_twiggy.JPG]]
Likes to mention the war - emo.

== undone ==
[[Image:Undone_emo.JPG]]

Photographical evidence of undone on the loose in the real world has proven hard to come by.
He has made it onto the list due to his constant claims to haircare prowess and threats to kill his parents in #lobby. Any better pictures may save the life of many an ill-educated DCU student should they approach him unaware of his "emoness" so, please act with the utmost urgency in passing these on.

== zero ==
[[Image:Emo_zero.jpg]]

WAF!

Note: zero is no longer a member of RedBrick due to his epic exam fail and subsequent dropping out. Fagwaffery.

== zyox ==
[[Image:ZyoxHair.jpg]]

Although many have long suspected zyox of being emo, evidence has only recently come to light:

14:05:01 < Zyox> pain is good
14:05:06 < Zyox> it reminds me im still alive
14:05:10 < Zyox> ;_;

** I'm working on a nice set of boards, anyone who feels like helping (it'll require an indexer, a thin layer to connect to the nntp server for posting, and a nice web interface) is welcome though
*** Just separate it all - screw combing the two boards. Get a decent forum up with the usual forums, general, events etc and put up course forums like charlie's for ca - there is nothing that does this at present and people would find this a far easier way to start chatting with people from their courses then figuring their way onto putty and into chat and asking everyone what are they studying.
* proper suggestion box process also :)
* VPN - allow people to connect to a graphical redbrick already. Allow people to install like Eclipse and plugins etc.

* '''[[The Plop Incident]]'''
In October 1998 redbrick ran into two major problems. The first problem was the loss of one of its best admins, plop. The second problem was a huge increases in the incidents of "screen bombing". What followed included mistakes, system crashes and questions about Redbrick's security, privacy and user's privacy.

Plop was replaced by John Bolger as system admin who shortly afterward installed a patch which had not had a full security check and left a dangerous flaw in the system. Plop wrote an exploit for this and Redbrick crashed, and as a result John retrieved the source code from Plop's directory without permission from the committee or plop.

* '''[[Encyclopedia]]'''
One day, not too many moons ago, some-one, I can't remember who and have no inclination to waste time finding out said something like 'You know there should be an encyclopedia for all this Redbrick injoke shite'. This comment was noticed by the ever observant and astute Chairman and he mentioned the idea to Wishkah. Then the Chairman went away for a bit and came back to discover that Wishkah had actually gone and done something about the bullshit, sorry, ingenius idea, and actually set up a Redbrick Encyclopedia. Shocked that some-one had gone and done some work for the Society without asking for money, a title, a Committee position or root access the Chairman wandered away for a little bit promising vaguely to write some articles.

Time passed. Wishkah received no articles and went ahead and put up the Encyclopeida on the web with very little in it. Its appearance encouraged some of Redbrick's greatest and most gifted writers to read it and laugh at the poor writing style of those who contributed to it. Now many people have written for it, to such an extent that it merits an entry of its own and tribute should be paid to its Editor, Publisher, Sub-Editor, Webmaster, Head Researcher, the man who took the gibberings of the insane and finally set up THE guide to Redbrick past and present, the one, the only, Wishkah :)

Recursive threads are one of the greatest tools of the users of the Redbrick newsgroups - To destroy a thread, merely ask is the thread recursive. Most Redbrick in-jokes have recursion at the core - recursion is the new lowest form of wit.

''Origin''

Digital media is prone to easy duplication, and the Redbrick newsgroups are no different. Recursive (i.e. repeatitive) newsgroup threads have existed for as long as I can remember, however however originally wrote "Is this another one of those recursive threads?" should probably be locked up for crimes against humanity.

Run Apache, Php and MySQL off a USB Stick

2007-05-20T00:16:15Z

Art wolf:

If you are starting to get into web development you may find it starts to get annoying to build a site on RedBrick while using Dreamweaver and Photoshop etc.

The answer to this problem is to run Apache, PHP and MySQL off a USB stick! Maintaining your site on a USB stick allows you to easily plug it into a lab machine and work away and then bring it home and continue right from where you left off.

----

You will need to own a USB stick of at least 256MB (or 64MB if you can do without MySQL).

Download the lastest [http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi Apache HTTP] (windows binary), [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ MySQL Community Server] (windows binary) and [http://www.php.net/downloads.php PHP] (windows zip) from their respective sites.

Format your USB Stick.

Create a directory called 'pdrive' in the usb root directory - this is where everything will be run from.

Create a file called 'start.bat' in the usb root directory also, and have it contain the following :-
/pdrive/php-X.X.X/php.exe -c /pdrive/php.ini -f /pdrive/start.php
Where php-X.X.X refers to the version of PHP you will install (i.e. php-5.2.2). Create a directory sess in pdrive/ for php to save the session data to.

Install Apache to pdrive/apache-X.X.X
Download this [[USB Httpd.conf|httpd.conf]] to pdrive/apache-X.X.X/conf/
Create a directory www in prdive/ - this will be where you develope your site.

Install MySQL to pdrive/mysql

Unzip PHP to pdrive/php-X.X.X
Download this [[USB PHP.ini|PHP.ini]] to pdrive/

Finally download [[USB start.php|start.php]] to pdrive/ This will be run when you double click start.bat to start up the MySQL and Apache Services as well as open to your USB website, http://localhost:85.

You will need to update the pages to download to reflect your versions of Apache and PHP.

Spike

2007-05-02T00:31:55Z

Art wolf:

In 1997 a user by the name of Spike arrived on Redbrick. This writer cannot remember how Spike came to be on Redbrick for he was not, nor ever had been a student, but someone gave him a password and he was one of the best known Redbrick personalities and a [[Table]] regular.

Spike merits an entry in the [[Encyclopedia]] for the confused events surrounding his permanent [[DAFT|disuserment]] and the shutting down of Redbrick. What is beyond question is that Spike hacked files in other colleges, allegedly TCD and Glasgow. His carrying out of this deed was traced back to his Redbrick account and great was the wrath and anger of CSD who pulled the plug on Redbrick and threatened to close it down. As it was the system was shut down for three weeks and restored only with several conditions.

The exact series of events has always been a bone of contention with Spike claiming that it wasn't all his fault, a stance for which there was some support, and others claiming that he was solely responsible. As a result Spike was banned from Redbrick and DCU's environs by the [[Committee]].

At the time there was a great deal of anger towards Spike among the membership but time has healed many wounds though his name is still cursed by some of the older members.

Shaun Neary was found with a cracked version of the password file belonging
to a TCD server. I'm not totally sure how he was tracked down but it came
from the fact that he was trading cracked passwords on IRC and somebody in
TCD heard about him, traced his logins back to Glasgow, whose admins went
ballistic they had somebody like him on their systems. They were upset at
being accused of harbouring a hacker and traced his logins back to DCU
whose admins (CSD) went ballastic in turn. Initally CSD didn't have a Shaun
Neary on their books and believed it to be an alias for another well-known
redbrick user. I recall setting them straight on this fact (otheriwse that
innocent student could have been kicked out of DCU) and disusered Spike.

Total bullshit... as you're expect from Shaun! Redbrick servers weren't
powered off during the "spike" incident, it's network access was cut. In
fact all out-bound telnet access from DCU was cut if I recall correctly.
Redbrick was previously abruptly powered down (un-plugged) at a different
time due to suspected "lab room exam cheating" via our chat system, and the
fact that CSD couldn't contact an admin@redbrick to do the job for them,
and they hadn't any account with sufficent privledges on redbrick to
shutdown the system properly.

Just setting some facts straight :]

Help:Contents

2007-04-22T20:27:16Z

Art wolf:

If your having a problem or have a general question, you can place a question here. Hopefully someone will come along and answer it for you!

You have two options, simple questions should be added as new sections below. Possible long answers (or answers that can be referenced by a single url) should be created as new articles so you can create a link to it in the following list.

==List of Help Articles==

* [[Help:Creating articles]]
* [[Help:Editing]]
* [[Help:What is a wiki]]?

==How to create a Private page==

We have created a new NameSpace which requires users to be logged in to view the page i.e. only Redbrick users. To create such a page preappend your topic with 'RBOnly:' i.e.

http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/mw/RBOnly:CommitteeMinutes

To create your own would be:-

<nowiki>http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/mw/RBOnly:<Topic></nowiki>

==How do I sign in?==

Just click on the [[Special:Userlogin|sign in]] link at the top right. This will redirect you to the Redbrick [[PubCookie on Redbrick|PubCookie]] page where you can log in with your normal [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie Redbrick] username and password.

Once you are signed in you can edit any topic or create new ones.

==I'm too lazy to figure it out myself!==

Are you looking for something specific that isn't here? Well, why not add a suggested name for the topic to the [[Main_Page]] (or if it's about this wiki, to this very article) and someone else might actually create the topic (and your answer) for you!

You can also post on the Rebdrick Newsgroups about it and if you get an answer, write the first draft of the article (see [[Help:Creating articles]])!

==Who do I contact if I find something wrong?==

Arg! I've found something is wrong, but I don't know what it should be. Don't bother emailing the "author". The last person to modify it may only have been correcting spelling and grammar mistakes. You can just add a comment to the 'Discussion' article associated with the offending page saying what is wrong and hopefully some other redbrick user will correct it. (Or you can just post to the redbrick newsgroups about it).

==I can't login!==

There is an existing problem with usernames with underscores in them. This is currently being investigated.

Website To-Do List

2007-04-22T15:24:38Z

Art wolf: /* dev site */

== dev site ==
stuff that we'd like
*it'd be nice if we could get webchat and boards up, and have them properly integrated into the main site so that you'd have a link to both in the menu, and they'd be properly skinned
*A redbrick skinned jabber client, with a redbrick button would be nice as well, possibly with hey rewritten to integrate it into jabber
*A better webmail client.

[[Image:Webdesign2007.JPG]]

RedBrick's new website is incomplete. If you find any broken stuff, please add it to the list!

== To-Do ==

* Should the Encyclopedia be moved over here in some form? It's amusing and has a lot of nice stories about Redbrick's past. I'm not sure if it should be possible for everyone to edit it though, it hasn't been touched in a long time. - [[User:Undone|undone]] 20:04, 17 Dec 2006 (UTC)
* Search results page look needs to be updated [http://www.google.com/u/redbrick?q=redbrick eg]

* Should the help tutorials be moved onto the wiki?
: ''Yes, helpdesk are already intending to do this and other things. Best to leave this item for them, they have Plans with a capital Pee.'' --[[User:Phaxx|Phaxx]] 15:03, 25 May 2006 (IST)
* http://planet.redbrick.dcu.ie should be updated to match style of new site
: ''When I helped set it up I just linked to the main site's CSS and now thats gone with the new RB site so now it's broken.'' --[[User:Cammy|The Dead One]] 10:30, 25 May 2006 (IST)
:: ''All the origional CSS files are still in their origional location.'' [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
::: ''Cool. The gif version of the logo was gone though but I updated planet to use the png version and now all is good. Still, should planet but updated to match the style of the new site?'' --[[User:Cammy|The Dead One]] 10:28, 1 Jun 2006 (IST)
* If the browser is resized down, the right panel (and, eventually, the middle) disappear down the page.
* Add pictures to the "chat", "boards", "putty" buttons at the top. Antialias the text in the buttons, it looks a bit rough.
: ''Plans are to fully integrate the site with a login - so when loged in it will display emails, how many people in chat, how many new posts to the boards etc.''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]

* Update pubcookie to match look of new website design
: ''Are you sure? A great many pages will send users to the pubcookie login page, from all sorts of different styles. Is there much point in making the pubcookie page match the style of just one of the sites?''
::''Yes,assuming the long term plan is for all official redbrick web services to use pub cookie and to look somewhat similar''
* Pubcookie enable webmails
: ''Been investigating this for awhile - problem is that it requires to combining the pubcookie login and webmail logins - pubcookie on its own cannot do this.''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* Update webmails look to match look of new website design
* Add tab icon to squirrelmail
: ''Where?''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
:: ''No favicon.ico is set inside squirrelmail''
* that gradiant affect is annoying on the content pages.
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/sponsors/ links on right are for about
* Point web boards link to somewhere or remove [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
: ''web boards still 'linked' in quick links''
* The main redbrick logo needs to be fixed [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/images/redbrick_logo.png]. It doesn't display in versions IE that have PNG problems. [[user:ryaner|ryaner]]
: ''Whereabouts is it used? It comes up wrong if you just click on that link in IE6 but the only place that I can see it being used is the wiki... where it looks alright in the same browser.. - [[user:werdz|werdz]]''
:: ''The wiki and any 404/500 pages on the service. Pub cookies uses it too I think. Certain versions of IE6 are affected by the png problem, certain ones aren't so it'll display more often than not. Still should be fixed.''

== Completed ==

When you complete an item, please move it here, and add your name!

* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/admins/hardware/ should be wikied. It'll be updated far more frequently if it is. [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/services/userfree/ doesnt work [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* "Dublin City University Networking Society" is in tiny writing, floating in space & consumed by those large shortcut buttons. The grey text doesn't make it anymore visible either! [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]

* A link to http://planet.redbrick.dcu.ie [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/services/disk/ should be removed, its revealing system and user information [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* The Boards button on the homepage should be changed to something that works while that system is being developed [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]

* The font-family bits in the CSS file should have a generic family defined (i.e. "font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif" instead of "font-family:Tahoma") (the site looks odd under ubuntu because Tahoma isn't installed by default so everything shows up in a serif-type font).

SadSoc

[[Image:Sadsoc.jpg]]

Once upon a time, many moons ago, lived five young people with little in the way of lives and much in the way of depression and odd behaviour. These five characters drifted together one night, as such people are wont to do, and lo and behold, a society was born! The society known now and forever as... SADSOC!

Our story begins late one night, when aeris, drusilla, biteme, dizer and phaxx were moping about in #lobby, trying to amuse themselves and distract from the depression ruling their little lives at that moment in time (the moment being half one in the morning, can't say they're early birds!) Talk turned to depression, and fourth year projects, and all at once, the idea came to them!

<@Dizer> We should start a society.

With these fateful words, was born the idea from which sadsoc would emerge. Many names were tossed around in this session, the name being a major issue. Suggestions included DepressionBrick, and depsoc, but then, through a burst of inspiration, phaxx thought up sadsoc, and the soc was confirmed (incidentally, he also thought up the "Funky" way to write it, :(soc )

The next night, at a later hour even then the one our formation occurred at, (three in the morning) the slogan for sadsoc came up for discussion, for reasons unknown to our young heroes! Conclusion drawn was sadsoc: life sux, but this seemed to be forgotten in the midst of the sick and twisted conversation that followed. In order to see more conversations like this, you'll simply HAVE to join our soc and come interact with the sad people who make up sadsoc!One little excerpt to whet your appetite:

03:27 <@drusilla> it's down the wrist anyway
03:27 <_biteme> yah u cut along the vein

Sad and depressed people of the world unite!

The Plop Incident

2007-04-19T12:47:32Z

Art wolf:

In October 1998 redbrick ran into two major problems. The first problem was the loss of one of its best admins, plop. This was solved by co-opting John Bolger as sysadmin while an EGM was pending. This would allow redbrick to continue offering services during the busiest time of the year when new freshers join the society.

The second problem was a huge increases in the incidents of "screen bombing". To solve this problem, a change was made to write to allow logging of the length of all messages sent using write. This would provide an audit trail for abuse, without compromising the privacy of user's write messages.

The write patch was written by grimnar, and installed after some minimal testing by John Bolger. This minimalist testing proved to be a big mistake, as the testing missed a dangerous security flaw in the write patch. This flawed patch was installed on the live system on October 21st, 1998

On October 22nd, some redbrick members discovered this flaw. One member, plop, left an easy to use exploit for this flaw in /tmp. The admins or the author of the patch were never informed that the security flaw existed, or where it was. Afer an unexplained system crash on the evening of October 22nd, John retrieved the source code for the exploit from plops home directory, without permission of either the committee or plop himself.

Almost immediately all hell broke lose. Plop made an official complaint about breach of privacy, and posted notice of what happened to every newsgroup and to every member. The next morning John stepped down as co-opted admin, pending an inquiry into what happened and a vote from the membership if he was right or wrong. A committee meeting ruled that plop should be disusered for 110 days, which eventually led to a complaint to the SPC. In the end both John and plop apologised to each other in public on the news group system.

The fallout of the plop incident is still felt today. John has never gone back to full time redbrick admin, having resigned only weeks after the incident. The underlying concerns about security, privacy and the rights of users privacy and the need for admins to access a users home directory, while often discussed, have never been resolved.

Sadly, newsgroup postings from the time were not saved. However ~x/kmail shows a small number of the mails which were exchanged at the time. The exploit used can be found in ~x/bin/smoo

===============================================================================
The Events of October 22nd as we, the committee, see them.
===============================================================================

Due to the fact that a lot of "screen bombings" have been taking place among new members this year, a logging system was needed in order to identify those members responsible. This logging facility was already in place on Nurse (one of the other redbrick machines), but when the new machine (Mother) was introduced, this was overlooked. Basically, whenever anybody is screen bombed a message shows up in a log which says something to the effect of

"possible screen-bomb from userx to usery on 22nd Oct at 19:30"

This enables us to catch out the culprits, and deal with them, so that nobody gets tormented by complete garble flying up their screen. The admins set about modifying the "write" program, so that this logging facility could be incorporated. The program was modified, and the older version replaced with the newer one. Unfortunately, there was a bug in this program. It enabled any user who took advantage of said bug, to set their GID to tty, and hence have the ability to write anything they wanted, to anyone's terminals, without the victim knowing who it was that had wrote to their screen. It should be pointed out that the admins were not aware of this bug at the time, and the program was deemed fit for use.

At some stage this week, the bug was discovered, by the user pooka. In a message on the newsgroup system, pooka made reference to some stack overflow problems in the write program, and said nothing more. Plop went and found
said bugs, and wrote an exploit for them. For those of you who don't know, and exploit is a program written, which takes advantage of a bug in another piece of code, and when run, will usually drop the user into an SUID shell, or something similar. We're not here to debate morals, but suffice to say it would have been appropriate for plop to then come to the redbrick admins, and point out the flaws in the write program, as well as detailing how they could be fixed, so that no one can take advantage and make life a misery for everyone else. Instead of doing that, plop copied the exploit into the /tmp directory and made it world executable. Again for new members, this means that anyone who wants, can run this program, and gain full write access to anybody's terminal on the system. Not only did he put the program there, but he then went on to post an article on the newsgroup system, telling all the members who read the groups, that an exploit to the write bug had been written, and was freely available to execute for anyone who wished to try it out. A copy of this posting is available for anyone who wishes to read it.

If we look at this situation for a moment, we can see that a user had written a program which enabled any user to gain priveleges on redbrick which they weren't entitled to, and informed the members about it. This is not on.

I (spock) was made aware of this exploit, when I was heyed last night by the user "root". Root was not logged on. I heyed plop, assuming it was him, and told him that I wasn't aware he had root access any more, considering
that he was no longer an admin. He heyed me back, and said something to the effect of him testing out the bug in the write program. I then talked to spinal, who was co-opted as an admin until the EGM takes place, about the whole situation. We agreed that the old write program should be restored, and the exploit that plop had written should be deleted so that no users could take advantage of it.

The rules of the university which would be broken by running that program are as follows (taken from http://www.dcu.ie/compservices/rules.html):

"It is expressly forbidden:

* To seek or gain unauthorised access to systems or network resources

* To impersonate or send email messages whose header fields have in any way been altered or where the message appears to originate from someone or somewhere else is in all cases regarded as an extremely serious offence and subject to disciplinary action up to expulsion from the university."

About ten minutes after this, I received a hey from plop, which said something to the effect of (I didn't cut and paste it), "John Bolger has been looking around in my account, I would like to make an official complaint". To which I replied (as is now well documented) : "nothing on this machine is guaranteed to be private". This is a simple fact. It does NOT mean, however, that the committee spend their days rooting through people's private files and mail, because that is NOT done, and any committee member doing so would immediately be expelled from the committee. As an aside, this morning I already had many a bewildered fresher heying me wondering why we read their mail. WE DO NOT READ YOUR MAIL. He then heyed back something to the effect of "you don't want to take that
line with me", to which I responded something to the effect of "I do actually", since I wanted the problem resolved. Then there was silence.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, another user made me aware of the fact that every member of the society had just received a mail from plop, giving his side of the story. At the same time, the same mail was posted on every single news group on the system. There's no point in quoting the mail, it's available for you all to read in your own mailbox.

One thing I should perhaps point out however, is plop's prompt:

{9}(~spinal/xxx)# ls <plop@Mother ZSH emacs

as you can see there is a hash mark "#" at the end of his prompt, which is usually indicative of a root shell. Plop is no longer an administrator, he has no right to root access. This might mean that plop exploited root through some other means, and this is what enabled him to look through john bolger's directory, some might rightly point out the hypocrisy here.

Once this had happened, I talked to John Bolger, who denied copying all of plop's files into his home directory. He said that all he was doing was looking at the write.c program which was in plop's directory, and as far as
he was aware, he did not copy anything else out. It has since come to light that it is quite possible that john did copy an entire directory of plop's out and into his own, but all he was concerned with was the exploit in
question.

It should be pointed out, that when a user does anything which breaches the rules of the society, or attempts to gain priveleges on the society machines, the administrators are permitted to run checks on the users directory, in
order to determine the extent to which the user had broken the rules in the past, or their intention to break rules in the future. This involves looking through the users directory, and checking for suspicious looking files. This is where the privacy barrier is broken. The only way in which the privacy barrier is
broken, is if the rules of the society are broken. It is plain to see that 99.99% of members should never have any worries about this, as long as they keep in check with the rules (http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/rules.html).
If you don't break the rules, your privacy won't be broken, it's as simple as that.

In light of these facts, john bolger did nothing wrong in checking plop's directory. In fact, it was done for your protection. Picture the scenario, a user breaks the rules, he/she is disusered for doing so. Their home
directory ISN'T checked for further exploits. They are reusered having served their time, and they run another exploit on the machine, which was in their home directory. The exploit could perhaps give them root access. At this point, they go into YOUR mailbox, and start reading YOUR mail. This is malicious, and it could happen. This is why measures are in place to try and prevent exactly this scenario, and it has been successful so far as we are
aware.

To summarise:

* by exploiting the bug in the write program, and making the exploit publically available, plop broke the rules.
* by mass mailing every body without the prior consent of the committee, plop broke the rules.
* Nothing has been accomplished here, other than a lot of users, getting very worried over nothing.
* We do not read your mail, enter your directory, or look through your files, but we DO try to ensure that nobody else does either.

We are not the bad guys, we are here to serve you, to educate you, and to give you a good time along the way. If that means disusering people who break the rules, so be it. If it means breaking the privacy of people who break the rules, so be it.

This was plop's second offence since he joined the society. He has been disusered for 110 days (the first day of second semester). We don't like when this kind of thing happens, but the other 1050 members must come first
(yes, we broke the 1000 barrier (!), fast approaching 1100).

Plop, of course, has every right to appeal the disuserment, and the committee are open to listening to his story.

I hope this finishes the argument, but I already have visions of hundreds of postings on the newsgroups for at least the next week. Kind of takes me back to first year, when plop posted something similar on the old BBS,
telling everybody that the committee were able to read your mail, and look through your files. It's an old argument, but seeing as some people simply don't seem to understand it I'll reiterate for the last time, we do not read your mail or look through your files.

Hope to see you all in Break for the Border on wednesday! :)

Jon.
DCUNS Secretary.

Zsh

2007-04-19T10:50:57Z

Art wolf:

The z-shell, or zsh, is by far the most commonly used shell on redbrick, with a grand total of 1,620 users preferring it. However, although there are many zsh users, there are only about five or six .zshrc files floating around on Redbrick, with everyone having got one from a friend from the year before, or some such silly excuse, with the end result that everyone has the same prompt and only those bold enough to duck their heads into man pages and such like can even hope to change it.

The reasons non-zsh users cite for using other shells are wide and varied, from "keeping my shell trim" (ref. Colmmacc on bash) to "tcsh is the handy way to get out of signing that damned [login] agreement" (ref. Shadow on tcsh). Zsh's auto-correction facilities are a boon to any typo-stricken finger, and generations of zsh advice have piled up on Redbrick should you need guidance in the way of the Z.

Further information on the z-shell can be obtained from the zsh manpage, and of course from the official zsh website.

X's jacket

2007-04-19T10:50:02Z

Art wolf:

The mysterious jacket of X first appeared to be abandoned in L208. This forlorn piece of clothing was rather shabbily draped over a chair near the door. Key Eyewitnesses have reported that it was indeed Spinal (or X) who was sitting at this computer the evening before it was discovered by the CA population. One upstanding member of the redbrick community, whc, posted about this - asking spinal to collect his jacket because it was lonely. It didn't happen.

Over the following months the jacket became part of the furniture in L208, you could always depend on a friendly glance or a well brewed pot of tea if you had the time and patience to endure the endless drivel which it spouted from it's left sleeve. One day however the jacket upped and left, purportedly to follow up on it's dreams of being famous and meeting lots of big stars.

In the meantime, L125 was opened and a wave of freshers entered CA. One day they were horrified to find X's Tit-Top lying atop a monitor in that same room. This grey piece of minging filth was flung about the place and eventually settled behind a PC in the back row. Once again the dutiful whc posted asking Spinal to collect his clothing, again to no avail. As far as anyone knows the tit top has morphed into a large puddle of goop and likes to infest all the helplessly glued mice in CA.

Recently X's jacket has been spotted at the Redbrick Big Freshers Event 2000, in the Temple Bar Music Centre, but it disappeared soon after. Rumour has it that someone was given evidence in both diary and photographic form to publicise the travels of the jacket to the redbrick community. Watch this spot for more....

I have admitted that the jacket is indeed mine, and the tit-top was left after a night of hot sex in L125 with a yet to be named female redbrick member.

WAW (Women Against Warhammer)

Once upon a time in the way past some people were on [[VAX]]. Some of these gamed. Some of these didn't. They were all friends and had many fun times and conversations at [[the Table]]. In time the non-gamers got annoyed by the fact that all conversations eventually came round to Warhammer and Epic models. All of them. So someone suggested Women Against Warhammer.

It was a cute idea at the time. People involved then and later included halfpint, fish, bob, toaster and wishkah (who later changed sides). It doesn't exist any more, mostly because nobody cares. But the people in Games Workshop have apparently heard of it. And people bring it up from time to time. That's all really.

Webgroup

2007-04-19T10:48:28Z

Art wolf:

The DCUNS webgroup was a cunning scheme devised by myself, Singer, during my stint as webmaster of DCUNS. Some might see it as a dynamic, proactive attempt to embrace the diversity of our memberships talents and channeling them creatively back to our members, while others might see it as an attempt by myself to not bother with updating the webpages. Neither are true.

The webgroup was formed out of discussion between myself and DoC - DoC was busy beavering away writing all sorts of useful CGI counters and other such utilies for member use, and the idea of an official platform for the web services that could be provided by DCUNS outside of the help given by our esteemed helpdesk was a good one. Kpodesta soon came online, after dazzling DoC with his VRML talents, soon after Bubble was invited to be a member due to his excellently useful homepage and helpdesk CGIs, and we had a cute team of somebody who liked breaking Apache, somebody who had too much time on his hands to mess with PERL, somebody who was good at graphics and design, and we a CGI utility obsessive. Over the summer of 1999, the webgroup set to work on a redesign of the Redbrick webpages - Kpodesta dazzled with his graphics skills and DoC and Bubble worked on a Slashdot-esque backend, while all discussed where things should be going and generally did housekeeping. At the turning on of Enigma, the new pages were unveiled, and plans are currently underway (August 2000) developing new pages.

The current members are Singer, DoC, Kpodesta, Bubble, Slack and Colmmacc.

The idea of segmenting and delegating responsability the activities of DCUNS into sub-groups away from the committee has been tried before, to varying results, but the webgroup works.

Along with maintaining the Redbrick webpages, the webgroup also maintain their webpage and resources at www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/webgroup/

--Singer

Unfortunately, even a great encyclopedia can fall behind the times, but then that's where updates come in, so by way of an update, the current members of webgroup are now Colmmacc, Kpodesta, Slack, P and myself.

--Emperor

The times they come and go, and Barballs came, Slack and Kpodesta went, and our merry bunch of men is down to a quartet.

The future ushers in brighter prospects, and into history I walk as a former member of webgroup. Although it has nothing to do with the workload, my place has been taken by not one, not two but three most helpful volunteers: Atlas, Keloe and Thor.

Vax

2007-04-19T10:47:03Z

Art wolf:

Before the days of Redbrick and Tolka, the email service for students was known as Vax. It was somewhat more complex than either of the other two mentioned and only facilitated email. Telnet, newsgroups or bulletin boards, and chat were all unknown on Vax.

Vax email addresses were much like Tolka's, the standard was 95366844@vax1.dcu.ie. It was also possible to see the people logged on at any given time, when the user checked to see who was on, the student numbers and their "real name" was displayed. The real name was invariably some sort of equivalent of their now Redbrick username, though the real name had no impact on the system (i.e. there could be several Batmans at the same time) this occasionally led to conflict when a first year logged in and took a name being used by someone else.

As mentioned, the real names were the usual way of identifying someone, 95581421 was never used to identify the person, generally it would be Gambit or whatever name the person had chosen. This differs of course on Redbrick where people know a user by their username as opposed to the real name (eg Wishkah as opposed to Typo Negative).

Vax had a certain community spirit on it even without access to chat and generally there were a core of about forty users who knew each other fairly well. These users were some of the first members of Redbrick, known as First [[Generation]] Brickies or FGBs.

Union Hacks

2007-04-19T10:46:31Z

Art wolf:

Redbrick term of abuse for people heavily involved in the [[SU]]. Not necessarily Exec members or even Class Reps but the type who attend Council meetings and in much the same way as a [[Brickie]]'s life revolves about the Society, theirs, both social and political, about the Union. Many of them have traditionally been [[DBES]] members and Business students. Union Hacks have acquired a reputation for being pretentious over-bearing cocky full of shite wankers who only work for the SU out of a sad power trip or to look good on their CV. Sadly, for the most part, this is true.

That is not to say there are not some good Union Hacks. Even Silk, hater of all things SU, will admit that certain past Exec members (Hugh Larkin comes to mind) have worked hard and most Executives have a couple of hard workers but sadly the most common Union Hack is the hated self-serving tosser spied at Jets every Thursday.
