Programming On Redbrick

2012-11-05T10:34:59Z

Beimear:

This is a general introduction to compiling and running Java, C and C++ programs on redbrick. It is assumed that you already know how to write programs in any of these languages.

Note: there is now a new [[Helpdesk]] C++ tutorial being constructed at the moment here at [[Cplusplus]].

==Programming Environments==

Pygmalion is the recommended programming environment on RedBrick, it has a large amount of programming tools available, and also has fast local disk space (available on request by mailing admins@redbrick).

To connect to pygmalion type:

ssh username@pygmalion.redbrick.dcu.ie

on linux, or on windows with putty set your hostname to pygmalion.redbrick.dcu.ie and click open.

==GCC==

GCC stands for Gnu C Compiler. It is a fairly popular UNIX C compiler and is based on the standard C Compiler, known as CC :o)

Once you have written a program in nano or vim and saved it as a .c file (the c suffix indicates it is a c language file), you can compile it to create a program that you can run on redbrick. Here is an example in which I compile a file I saved as prog.c into a program called program :

gcc -o program prog.c

If you want to ensure that the code you compile is ANSI compatible (that is that it fits the latest international standards for the way C code should be written), you can add the -ansi switch to the gcc command, so now you have :

gcc -ansi -o program prog.c

A lot of the time you will want to tidy up your code so that there aren't any warnings even when you compile it, to turn on warnings so you can see any possible errors in your code, add the -Wall switch to your gcc command, so now my example reads :

gcc -ansi -Wall -o program prog.c

Now that I have my program compiled and there were no errors, an ls on the directory I'm in will show up a file called program. To execute this program I type :

./program

To compile C++ programs, use :

g++ -o program prog.cpp

==Compiling and Running Java Programs==

The Java compiler on redbrick is called, unsurprisingly, javac. Compiling Java programs is a little more complex than compiling C programs as you need to have two environment variables set, JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH. To see what these are set to, at the prompt type :

echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $CLASSPATH

Echo is a command for printing stuff to the screen, what it does in the above example is "echo" the value of the JAVA_HOME and CLASSATH variables to the screen.

Your JAVA_HOME variable should be set to /usr/java and your CLASSPATH should be /usr/java/lib/dt.jar, if they're anything else you can edit the variables by typing the following :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
CLASSPATH=/usr/java/lib/dt.jar

Of course you can add extra directories to this, seperated by a : so that you can compile programs in your home directory. Another difference between javac and gcc is that the main class in your java program has to have the same name as the file it's in, and the file has to have a .java extension, for example :

javac progam.java

Then to execute the program (assuming it compiled okay ;o)) you type :

java program

This will execute the program.

SSH-Keys

2011-12-21T21:44:34Z

Beimear:

SSH-Keys are used to allow passwordless access to a machine. It uses an unique host key to identify who you are.

To use this you will need to have ssh on your current machine.

==Linux SSH-Keys==
===Creating the Key===
First of all, you will need to create your secret key which will remain on the machine you are ssh'ing from. This is done by typing:
ssh-keygen -t dsa
This will generate the public and private keys. You will be asked where you wish to store the key. Just press enter to accept the default location.

You will then be asked for a passphrase. A passphrase will help to stop people who get access to your console getting access to different accounts. Its basically to help make it more secure. Once you have entered your passphase , you will be asked to re-type your passphrase. You can just just press enter if you don't want to use a passphrase.

===Copying the Key to Redbrick===
Now you will then need to copy your public key (~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) to the server you wish to ssh to. Redbrick's machines have a common home directory so you only need to transfer your ssh-key once.

Two options for transferring your key are outlined bellow;

====Option 1====
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub username@login.redbrick.dcu.ie

This will append your key to your authorized_keys file on redbrick.

====Option 2====

scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub username@login.redbrick.dcu.ie:.ssh/

This will put the file in the ~/.ssh folder of your account on the machine you want to ssh to.

You will need to log in to the machine you want to ssh to. Just use ssh as you normally would for the moment:
ssh username@login.redbrick.dcu.ie

You will still be prompted for a password at this stage. Once you are on other machine, you need to move into the .ssh directory cd .ssh. You will have to add the line in the id_dsa.pub into the authorized_keys file. The easiest way to do this is to simple cat the i d_dsa.pub and put the results into the authorized_keys file i.e:
cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys

Once all that is done, then all that remains to do is to remove the id_dsa.pub on the machine you wish to ssh to rm ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.

===Changing your Passphrase===
From time to time you may wish to change the passprhase on your ssh-key. To do this run the following command
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa -p
It will prompt you for your current passphrase. Once you have typed your current passphrase it will ask you for a new passphrase. You will then be asked to re-enter it to validate it.

The next time you connect to redbrick it should use this new passphrase.

==Windows SSH-Keys with Putty==

You will need to open the Key Generator program usually located in the same menu as Putty.exe. If you do not have this program, you can download it from:

http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/puttygen.exe

This is what will generate the public and private keys.

When the program loads up, you will be faced with a a small number of options on the the base of the screen. Select DSA as the key type. It will automatically select 1024 for the number of bits but you can change this number to whatever you want. When you have filled in this information, click on "Generate".

You will be asked to move the mouse around the blank space on the screen. The more you move the mouse, the more random the keys will be. It will generate the keys straight away. You can then enter a passphrase (if you wish) and then confirm it by typing it again. Then click "save private key" to save this key. You will be asked to give the program a destination folder to save the key to and you will need to give it a filename. Do the same for "save public key".

Now once you have saved your keys, press "Load". If you gave it a passphrase, you will need to type it in now. At the top you will see the public key that you will need to copy in to your authorised keys. Highlight it and right click and select copy. Then you'll have to log on to the server you wish to be able to ssh easily too. You will need to go to putty.exe.

You will still be prompted for a password at this stage. Once you are on other machine, you need to move into the .ssh directory cd .ssh. You may need to create a authorized_keys file by doing the following :
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Then all that is left to do is to put the public key into the authorized_keys file.
cat >> authorized_keys

You should still have the public key in your buffer, if not just copy it again from the top of the Key Generator program. Just right click on your terminal and you will see it being printed onto the screen. Then hit Ctrl^D.

Now when you run putty.exe, all you have to do is go to connection:SSH:Auth and click on "Browse" to tell putty where your private key is. You can save your settings so you don't have to do this everytime. Now when you log in you will either get in without a password or only have to give your passphrase. Don't forget to reload the private key in the key generator next time you log on to your computer.

If you have any problems or something just won't work for you, just mail or hey a member of helpdesk and they'll sort it out for ya :-)

Committee

2011-05-25T21:03:17Z

Beimear:

The name given to the leadership of Redbrick. Elected every year at the Annual General Meeting it is composed of 13 members: three admins, three helpdesk, Webmaster, a first year rep, a Secretary, PRO, Ents Officer, Treasurer and Chairperson. The First Year Rep is elected at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), usually held during Clubs & Socs Week at the start of October. You must be a first year member to run for this position. All members of the committee are given ops in #lobby while the admins, along with previous system administrators still in the root group, hold [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user root]. The webmaster may also hold root, upon passing a root competency test.

They are the Society's most popular target for abuse and insults and work tirelessly and without compensation for the Society they love so much. A list of past and present Committee members can be found at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/committee/

An alternative view of the Committee is that it is a collection of the power-mad, the arrogant, the popular and the insulting. All members have their own opinions on that matter but most will agree that without the Committee Redbrick would not be able to function, and for that, and perhaps that alone, they deserve thanks.

The Hat Of Drunkenness

2011-04-04T00:55:45Z

Beimear:

The Hat of Drunkenness is one of RedBrick's finest possessions. Apparently "[[User:gw|gw]] was walking home drunk one night, and some wrecked guy gave him the hat saying something along the lines of "LOOK AT THIS HAT. I CAN'T TAKE ALL THE COLOURS. TAKE THIS blah blah", and so the hat of drunkenness was born.

It gets passed on at parties and is given to the most drunk person there. Somehow it manages to find it's way back to the next event.

One must never refuse to wear the hat, however, if offered it you're usually wrecked enough to do anything.

Emo

2011-03-14T20:17:36Z

Beimear:

After many users both laid 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.

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.

'''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.

Text of http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~haus

Life.
It's all just one big fuck up really. People spend the majority of it looking for somebody else.
Like, what if you never do find that person who's supposed to make you happy? Do you die miserable?
Is anyone ever really always happy? Sure, I've been happy. But it never seems to last.
Happiness, building you up just to shatter it all down again when you won't see it coming since the beginning of time.
So what's the answer to avoid being shattered? Not letting anything external to your own body/mind.
That'll never work. You'll die alone like that.
But maybe it is better to die alone rather than just get hurt, over and over again.
I sure know I'm sick of being hurt, aren't you?

Beimear:

Why Did You Choose Your Username

2011-03-02T18:06:55Z

Beimear:

Feel free to add an an entry about your username below!



==[[User:AngelKat|AngelKat]]==

Drusilla picked it...

==[[User:art_wolf|art_wolf]]==

Cool picture I have hanging up. Have had it for ages and its by Art Wolfe.

==[[User:atlas|atlas]]==

I originally handed in my student card, and said "Use my first name, please". I got an email later giving me my username as 'James' ( my middle name ). When I asked them to change, I decided to go with something a little cooler. I had been up for hours before that playing Mechwarrior somethingorother, and the Atlas mech was my favourite. I also, occasionally, feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.

==[[User:Attol|Attol]]==
My name, but backwards.

==[[User:beimear|beimear]]==
It's eimear, with a "b".

==[[User:bilco|bilco]]==

Cause as a fresher I though it was the character's name from The Hobbit

==[[User:bunbun|bunbun]]==
It's kinda from my surname, in a way...
Also elephant made me.

==[[User:cain|cain]]==

I always thought Cain got a raw deal. Firstborn son of Adam, built the first city on earth and he's remembered for allegedly killing his brother Abel though the evidence is, to put it mildly, unconvincing and God was clearly biased against him. When I joined Redbrick, Cain was gone so I got Caine, which was the spelling of the name in an RPG I played at the time. Dropped the 'e' in my second year.

==[[User:calyx|calyx]]==
Misread the name of a song. In a perfect world, I would have been calx.

==[[User:cambo|cambo]]==

An abbreviation of sorts on my surname (campbell)... original eh?

==[[User:cammy|cammy]]==

I was using it as a web handle long before I joined Redbrick. It comes from the name of one of my first roleplaying characters that wasn't just a bunch of stats. The name for that roleplaying character though, came from the computer game Streetfighter 2.

Well actually cammy was my second choice. I would have liked to use The_Dead_One but that exceeds the 8 character limit.

==[[User:carri|carri]]==
I wanted giggleberry but its too long. So me being my epically cool self just used my actual 'name'.

==[[User:coconut|coconut]]==

On Clubs and Socs Day 2005 I was put on the spot while joining Redbrick (LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WAS)! It went a little something like this:

atlas: "Okay, and pick a username." 
Me: "What... now?!" 
atlas: "Yes." 
Me: "Right now?!?" 
atlas: "Yes." 
Me: "Errr.." *looks down at the free chocolate being given away - notices the wrappers and ingredients* "Em.. coconut?" 
atlas: "kk lol fag" 
Me: "I'll change it later!" 

That last part was, evidently, a lie.

==[[User:colmmacc|colmmacc]]==
I was assigned the username colmmacc for the purposes of my first ever internet account (and job), colmmacc@clubi.ie , way back when in 1995/6 (I think). Ever since, I've used it for all my accounts and it works at every domain on which I hold an account. Despite the huge coincidence, my username is fact not just a mere contracted concatonation of my real name "Colm MacCarthaigh", but is fact an acronym. It stands for "Colm's On-Line Memetic Mechanism [for] Accessing Complicated Computers".

==[[User:cooker3|cooker3]]==
It is my username for the lab machines in the CA building, it's not to do with an obcession with cookers!

==[[User:credak|credak]]==
Originally I wanted creadak (notice the extra a), cause Crea Dak was a character I had on Guild wars. I wrote it down, and the admins left out the extra a. I kinda like it better this way now...

==[[User:david|david]]==
The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. With all the new challenges in my life at that time I found that he was someone I could look up to. I could admire his achievements. He was like an uncle to me. I grew up on Kinght Rider and am looking forward to the new movie coming out this year. And then when I got a little older and started noticing girls I got interested in Baywatch. I wanted to be the stud that he was on that show. Appropriately in 2000 when I joined redbrick he released one of his many hit albums in Germany - "The Magic Colleciton". So I chose david as my redbrick username because ... well actually its not that interesting really, its my name in real life.

==[[User:doc|DoC]]==
It's the initials of my real name. I've been called DoC in real life by friends, family, etc, for as long as I can remember.

==[[User:drag0n|drag0n]]==
Friends in college said that I needed a nickname, probably because they're too lazy to say my full name "Diarmuid" and I find "Diarm" quite creepy, so basically, "dragon" popped into their heads and it stuck! I used be called siphi (for no particular reason, it was a random name I was known by onli ne), then changed to drag0n (with a zero). The zero is because the user "dragon" is allready taken on rb. But everyone loved the new name so I added the zero. If you hey the other dragon, you generally get a confused hey in response, so I generally have heys disabled. anyways...

==[[User:dramabob|dramabob]]==
When I signed up, along with everyone else in known history, back in 2004 I honestly can't remember being asked to pick a username. Imagine my surprise when later that week I got an email telling me my username was "roibeard" (er, my first name). Boo-urns. I approached one of the Kings Of Redbrick ([[User:Dizer|dizer]], [[User:Atlas|atlas]] or [[User:Phaxx|phaxx]], can't remember which) and asked to change my username to the much cooler sounding "silentbob" of "Clerks" fame (and several other, less good, movies). Further boo-urns ensued when t'was revealed that "silentbob" had one character too many, so having joined DCU Drama in addition to RB, I opted to go with "dramabob" - thus was born dramabob. w00t. I admit to being miffed upon hearing that both "bob" and "bobb" were already used up, but found out many many years later that "bobb" was a next door neighbour of mine in my long lost childhood in the mid 1970's. Bizarre.

==[[User:dregin|dregin]]==
The lead guitarist with the Backyard Babys' name is dregen[sic]. I took it and stuck an x on the end for a few years as a forum alias but then knocked off the x. tada!!

==[[User:drusilla|drusilla]]==
My nick was surprisingly enough, from the character on Buffy! Friends of mine in second year of school gave it to me when they noticed the similarities between myself and the insane vampire. Funnily, dru was my second nick on RedBrick, before that I was zerocool

==[[User:duff|duff]]==
It's my surname.

==[[User:elmer|elmer]]==
My username came from my first ever email address(elmer@clubi.ie) which i chose based on the looney tunes character elmer fudd

==[[User:exzantia|exzantia]]==
As many, many people have pointed out, my name seems like a random string of letters, and it kinda is... When I was signing up for a Yahoo mail account in '98 everything I tried was already taken. I was not having under-scores or numbers so I decided to come up with something that would always be available! I thus far have succeeded.

==[[User:eondev|eondev]]==
I use a different username elsewhere but decided it was time for a change. I always liked the word Eon and I started to develop (dev) an MMORPG around the time I was joining redbrick so I chose EonDev. Yes, horribly boring but /shrug

==[[User:fatwa|fatwa]]==

In first year, whilst learning to program, my friend Andrew wrote a program that printed out "That's a fatwa on you, mein freund".
I thought it was funny and it must have stuck in my head for redbrick registering. Also, it's short for "fat wanker".

==[[User:fox_chic|fox_chic]]==

Cause I'm an xphile and Mulder's first name is Fox. :)

==[[User:gizmo|gizmo]]==
My nick came from a combination of thinking gizmo was a pretty cool name due to that little flurry critter in Gremlins and also cns putting me on the spot on Clubs And Socs day when I first joined so that I couldn't think of anything else. Strange, but true.

==[[User:gary|gary]]==
Well, my original name was garyod and there was wordplay went around with that *cough*gayrod*cough*, so I got it changed to my actual name :)
==[[User:gavin|gavin]]==
I needed a username I wouldn't forget and seeing as Gavin was written on my underpants I decided to use that. Handy quinkadink that it is also my real name eh !

==[[User:geekity|geekity]]==
Tis from PhD comic, the Thesis arc (a PhD comic take on Matrix) and the character which loosely coincided with Trinity in the Matrix series. It's been my profile on most things for a while, although it was supposed to be geekity2 originally, someone just didn't bother with the 2 when they created my account.

==[[User:gmblitis|gmblitis]]==
Would've been gamblitis but for those dam restrictions!so the idea came in the first place came from my unhealthy obsession with horses and cards!

==[[User:gw|gw]]==
They are my initials.

==[[User:hauk|hauk]]==
Well, I got put on the spot when I first went to play UT in secondary school(We used to play it on the old shitty computers they had, at lunch time). So Dalamar from #intersocs, who was in my school, started to lose the plot with player12, and shouted at player12 to change his/her name. So I tried to think of a good name. And at the time I was reading Stormblade from the Dragonlance series, and Hauk was a ranger in that book. So I eh "temporarily" used the name.. It wasn't meant to stick! But I like it now ^_^

==[[User:hurl|hurl]]==
My second name is Hurrell and people cant pronouce it so I went by hurl. Turns out Hurrell was originally Hurl, you know, in the old country, so its my family name. No, I dont have a vomit fetish, but I'm always open to new experiences :P

==[[User:ian|ian]]==

Its my name JACKASS!

==[[User:jesjes|jesjes]]==
My name is Jessica. And people from home call me Jesi, and at some stage during sixth year I decided I liked Jess much more. So when I got THE INTERNETS, I just called myself jesjes. It stuck.

==[[User:johan|johan]]==

Was given this nick when a German Assistant in Secondary School tried to pronounce my name, Eoghan, and came out with Johan, and it stuck

==[[User:keloe|keloe]]==

I wrote down kehoe, my surname and an old nickname, on the slip. However, due to my incapability to write h's correctly, the admins read it as keloe.

==[[User:kpodesta|kpodesta]]==

Because that's my real name. I thought Redbrick was some email yoke - all else fails, I was getting a decent email address.

==[[User:lil_cain|lil_cain]]==

Wanted lil_cian, as he is the smaller Cian, it was mistyped.

At this point, I've grown quite fond of it. Unlike lil_cian, it makes me almost unique on the internet.

==[[User:lithium|lithium]]==

Coz I like the sound of it. And coz it goes crazy when you put it in water. And not because of the Nirvana song.

==[[User:macbain|macbain]]==
He wanted the username 'mcbain' but Karlos (mcbain) got it before him. Being original, Sarv decided that macbain would do instead, so he could forever confuse new users between himself and Karl.

==[[User:maK|maK]]==
Drugs.

==[[User:marvin|marvin]]==
There are three references here : Starvin Marvin from South Park, Marvin The Paranoid Android from Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and Marvin the Martian from the Warner Bros cartoon. I'll leave it to the reader to decide which one was the greatest influence (hint: it wasn't Starvin Marvin).

==[[User:merchelo|merchelo]]==
On a school trip back when I was young, sitting in an italian hotel, talking to the chef about football, he suddenly asked my name, and he couldn't pronounce my surname, Maxwell, so he decided to italianiase my name, by calling me Roberto Merchello, I thought the name was cool, and started to use it in championship manager, and after registering with the most shittest nick ever, "partyb" I changed it to the 8 char nick, merchelo.

==[[User:mephisto|mephisto]]==
Diablo and Baal were taken, and i registered after staggering in to college, having been up about 20 hours straight playing a LAN game of Diablo 2. Also my trademark nickname was too long.

==[[User:mo|mo]]==
Due to my considerable soccer talent, I was nicknamed "mo" after Mo Johnston, the scottish football hero.

==[[User:MoJu|MoJu]]==
It's in a similar vein to HoJu(Homer Junior) from the Simpsons. Given to me by a someone on a forum after they saw a picture of me and thought I was someone named Mordeth. So they suggested Mordeth Junior which was then condensed to MoJu. I then adopted it as my second online nick.

==[[User:montoya|montoya]]==

The name is that of a character from the book "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. The specific character is Inigo Montoya, a Spanish swordsman out for revenge against a 6-fingered man who killed Inigo's father.

==[[User:moridin|moridin]]==

The most evil and therefore cool character in a series of books that I was reading. Said series of books has since degenerated into a mush of crap writing. Boo.

==[[User:nanaki|nanaki]]==

Used the name on forums for a while, first thing that came to mind when signing up. Favourite character from FF7. And no, I didn't use a soft.

==[[User:nit|niT]]==
Originally my name was a combination of many words that described me, and was dreamt up whilst I was at college in Aylesbury. It all started when I got a demo copy of Diablo from my cousin in Singapore, and us lads built our first LAN at my mate Dave's house. We also played Carmegeddon, the Star Wars game and Quake 2 (of which my mate Dave had a 600mhz processor and TWO 3dfx cards linked up in parallell - he was our God). It was necessary for me to have a character name in Diablo so I chose Nitsuj Buaya Chen, the latter two meaning 'Crocadile man that snaps up ladies' (in Singapore slang) and monkey (as my star sign is golden monkey). I later joined a CS clan called Black Legion and people naturally shortened my name down to nit. At that time I also had a friend who was called 'kippy' in real life and online, so I started using nit in real life too. Later I joined a 'talker' called theManor which was a twin site to the LambdaMoo, there was a guy there who set it all up and went by the nick 'beN', he and girlfriend sadly died in a car accident and so manor spods paid tribute but capitalising the final letter of their nick, hence why I use niT.

==[[User:noelfitz|noelfitz]]==

8 letter truncation of my real name (boring but true.)

==[[User:noodlez|noodlez]]==

Shorter version of one of my most commonly used user names. I picked that one before when I needed a quick username for an IRC channel and I was eating a bowl of noodles.

==[[User:ornat|ornat]]==

You'd have to ask my parents that question. Ornat is my real name, and unlike popular belief, no, I am not a guy!

==[[User:p|p]]==

Back the old days of IOL/Indigo's IRC servers I used a variety of names, which all began with the letter p. Eventually, I ditched the different nicknames and used ^P^. Redbrick doesn't support weird characters though, so now it's just p. It also happens to be my middle initial.

==[[User:Paddez|Paddez]]==
Used to use the name Paddee on various other online communities/games, Wanted an Irish sounding name so I settled on the variation of Paddy with 2 E's instead of the Y. When signing up for Redbrick the person who took down my name either misheard me or I said it wrong, whatever the reason i am now an Irish-Mexican that goes by the name of Paddez

==[[User:phaxx|phaxx]]==

Originally from the character Lord Fax in the book [http://www.google.com/search?q=dragonriders+of+pern Dragonriders Of Pern] by Anne McCaffrey. I used Lord_Fax in [http://research.microsoft.com/vwg/projectsheets/comicchat.htm MS Comic Chat] for a while. I saw somebody using a 'ph' instead of an 'f', and thought, in that usual 13-year-old way, OMGZ COOL, and promptly became LordPhaxx.
I was LordPhaxx for a few years, until until around 16 when I met a bunch of other Irish nerds one afternoon. [[User:jerry|jerry]] was among them, and commented, "With a name like LordPhaxx, I expected you to be taller."

So er, I dropped the pretentious 'Lord', and I've been 'phaxx' ever since.

See, nothing to do with fax machines! :)

==[[User:receive|receive]]==

It was Michelle Smith (swallow) that dragged me along to sign up during first year, so I'd handed over my 4euro before I'd begun to think of a username, so I turned and said "Shit, Michelle, what will I pick?" and she suggested "receive" because it went so well with swallow. Stupidly I agreed, and it stuck (after we found a spell checker to check how to spell it that is), so i never changed it to anything better. Ironically, i never have been at the receiving end of swallows abilities.

==[[User:r0b|r0b]]==
Rob is my name *shock* *gasp* rob was taken so used r0b instead. Amazing story tbh

==[[User:robby|robby]]==

its short for robert...thats cool no?

==[[User:ru|ru]]==

I really had no clue what I wanted to have as my username so just picked my most used nick name - ru...short for Ruaidhri...

==[[User:sadpanda|sadpanda]]==

Well like everyone, I had to pick on the day so i picked a nickname i had been using for yahoo answers. That account has since been deleted for either calling creationists braindead, redneck, ignorant, arrogant fucks or posting a howtohackwindowsandbel33t.on.nimp.org to a "how do i hack and be cool?".
Those 2 things happened the same week so it could be either. The nickname originally came up a few years after the sexual harassment panda episode but I was watching some westboro baptist church protests (the "god hates fags"/"god hates ireland"/"god hates sweden" people who shocked even fox). There would always be a bigger counter protest than their protest.
One of the counter protesters had on the panda suit and had a sign "Phelps makes me a sad panda". I found that funny and used it for a few sites.
Now looking back on it, I don't find it funny at all. Thank you redbrick article for ruining the way I look at my nickname.

==[[User:sandman|sandman]]==

I didn't. It was assigned on the basis that a) I was asleep and b) I read comics, didn't I? Ironically, I hadn't read much Sandman at the time.

==[[User:scraib|scraib]]==

I'm from Kilkenny and 'ScrÃ¡ib' is the Irish for 'Cat-Scratch'! 'Tis a very GAA name, but to be honest I could never play hurling so I picked it really cause it sounded cool...

==[[User:shimoda|shimoda]]==

It was a character in a book (Illusions by Richard Bach) I read during my formative years. Another rb user thought the description of the protagonist was suited to me so I nabbed the name.

==[[User:singer|singer]]==

I was a singer in a band. The guitarist mocked me for being the singer by calling me "singer". The nickname stuck. Non-Redbrick people address me as singer! My 2nd choice username was "scano".

==[[User:spanner|spanner]]==

In fact eeh! picked it out during the hay days of eeh gift grub and in fairness now sometimes im a bit of a spanner.

==[[User:spock|spock]]==

I chose spock because I had no idea that it would follow me around for at least the next 10 years.
I didn't even know what Redbrick was when I was joining, and when I had a membership form thrust
in my face by Hyper on Freshers day 1996, we had three preferences for username. I put down "spock" as my first preference. It wasn't taken, and that is how I didn't end up with the username "data", or "benji".

==[[User:Steef|Steef]]==

When i joined games soc i chose the name of character i liked from a game as my user name, but it ended up with allot of people thinking my real name was steve :( .

==[[User:svan|svan]]==

Sarunas Vancevicius. First letter of name, then first 3 letters from surname.

==[[User:Taurus|Taurus]]==

It is my star sign, so I just went with that. Sounds cool enough. :-)

==[[User:thedara|thedara]]==

My nick was given to me years before redbrick on irc (irc.phishy.net) I was the first person some americans had met called Dara and they
found that interesting for some reason or other and hence I became thedara.
On redbrick irc i'm known as Darz0re, It was a in-joke at the time when myself and dizer stuck z0re at the end of out names
hence thez0rekorp.com and z0re.org

==[[User:tnkrbell|tnkrbell]]==

As a kid my dad used to always call me Belle.When I got older and after many trips to Disney I took a loving to the mischiefious tinkerbell from Peter Pan. Tinkerbell though was too long so JesJes decided on tnkrbell instead.

==[[User:train|train]]==

It's a shortened version of a gaming nickname I use.

==[[User:tyro|tyro]]==

It means: A beginner in learning something.

==[[User:tziegler|tziegler]]==

I have a strange addiction to The West Wing.

==[[User:undone|undone]] ==

Couldn't think of anything on Clubs & Socs day, so for about 2 days my username was my actual name. Then I picked this, because of the Weezer song, but also because I think it's a nice word.

==[[User:Urizen|Urizen]]==

A God from one of William Blake's epic poems. Thought it sounded epic, so that seemed right.

==[[User:werdz|werdz]]==

A long time ago in a net cafe far, far away, a sexy asian friend by the name of quank said "Hey Andrew, stop using the name andrew in CS. Use werdna instead. It's andrew only backwards!" - That lasted about five minutes until people got bored trying to pronounce it ("OMG! WERDNA! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!") and just started shouting werdz instead ("OMG! WERDZ! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!"). And that's my life story up until this point.

==[[User:wilburt|wilburt]]==

Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time. Wanted Wilburtino or Will as my username but they wouldnt let me :( so wilburt was the only one left. Like all rb usernames i think, they are spur of the moment. (or admin mistakes)

Spam

2011-03-01T02:58:09Z

Beimear:

Spam, like sarcasm, is often referred to as the highest form of intelligence.

There are varying degrees of spam. For instance, at the lower end of the scale, you have flooding a channel with a repeated line of text, or links to a shock site. The classier spammer will choose a form of ASCII art to flood a channel, such as a figlet, cowsay or epic coloured drawing such as baconcorn.txt.

[[image:Bacon.JPG]]

The only real problem with spam of this magnitude is flooding your buffer. If you're in an active channel, you're guaranteed some [[Waf]] is going to combo break, or you're going to get kicked. Hence spam is quite useless and this page is now [[Spam]].

Great Ban Of '11

2011-03-01T01:54:55Z

Beimear:

Early in January 2011, when the student population of RedBrick were under pressure studying for their exams, a strange phenomenon occurred. Some students resorted to spamming channels with figlets and the like to get an intense buzz of adrenaline before the 1st semester exams.

The spam wasn't tolerated.

The associates and majority of the students were angered, forcing the committee to implement an automatic 24hour ban at the first sign of a figlet. #lobby went +t for the remainder of the exams (with something to the effect of "WARNING FIGLET = 24 HOUR BAN") and the spammers looked for new ways to get their kicks. They came up with the ingenious concept of collaborative figleting, in which 3 or more members would create a single figlet - If you're only posting two lines you can't get banned, right?

WRONG

--- Log closed Mon Jan 17 16:52:24 2011

The ops went on a banning rampage and our heroes memory lived on for those 24 hours in /bans #lobby.
Soon the carnage spread to other channels (mainly #intersocs) and even pms.

After exams, order was somewhat restored with spam returning to normal(ish) levels.

Emo

2011-03-01T00:14:13Z

Beimear:

After many users both laid 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.

'''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.

Text of http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~haus

Life.
It's all just one big fuck up really. People spend the majority of it looking for somebody else.
Like, what if you never do find that person who's supposed to make you happy? Do you die miserable?
Is anyone ever really always happy? Sure, I've been happy. But it never seems to last.
Happiness, building you up just to shatter it all down again when you won't see it coming since the beginning of time.
So what's the answer to avoid being shattered? Not letting anything external to your own body/mind.
That'll never work. You'll die alone like that.
But maybe it is better to die alone rather than just get hurt, over and over again.
I sure know I'm sick of being hurt, aren't you?

== lil_cain ==

[[Image:Lil cain emo.jpg]]

Recently spotted at the DCU Clubs & Socs Ball. Notice the anger expressed on his visage.

15:36 < lil_cain> hello great depression
15:37 < lil_cain> time to start stockpiling cigarettes, alchol, and razorblades me thinks

[14:08] * nemo prays for the sweet release of death.

His name even has the word "emo" in it. How much more evidence do you need?

==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.

==tiroskan==

Likes to mention the war - emo.

[13:41:56] @twiggy | *cuts wrists*

[13:42:05] -*- twiggy cries emo tears

== 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.

coconut: Away cutting himself.

undone: i was just finding a razor

undone: gonna do it now

undone: liveblogging

== 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> ;_;
14:05:12 < Zyox> *cut*
