Johan: Undo revision 10057 by Undone (Talk) Robby was chair in Q3, Q3 is the start of the new committee, as seen by the other possitions

A visual overview of who did what, when.

This gets less accurate the further back you go in time - I was working off the [[Committee]] page, making guesses at who resigned, when. 2006 onwards should be fairly accurate (working from memory). Feel free to make any corrections (it's a pig of a table, though, so you might want to work on it offline, and abuse the Show Preview function a bit).

At the very least, it shows the sheer number of people (and man hours) who have been involved in running Redbrick at one point or another.

Johan: /* Access from an external machine */

First of all, you will need to install an ssh server on your VM before you can ssh to it. You will probably need to do this with a [[RBVM_Vnc|VNC Viewer]]. When your in your VM, you can install OpenSSH with:

apt-get install openssh-server

== Access from other Redbrick servers ==

Note your VM's IP address from the VM Management page. To login simply ssh to that IP address, with your VM user/pass (not your Redbrick login details).

ssh username@IP_ADDRESS

== Access from an external machine ==

You will need to setup a tunnel to get to your VM, if you're accessing from outside Redbrick. To do this, type:

ssh -L 1337:YOUR_VM_IP_ADDRESS:22 username@login.redbrick.dcu.ie

This binds port 1337 on your own computer to your VM (on port 22, the ssh service). So to connect to your VM:

ssh 127.0.0.1 -p 1337

Once upon a time there were a lot of former RedBrick people starting companies, particularly in the professional services area. Do any of these companies still exist and if so, where do I find them? -- [[User:Fergus|fergus]]

On the evening of the 30th March 2010, RedBrick had a grand wee quiz.

In the raffle, receive won the Dell netbook.

Debate came first winning external hard drives

Team Alice? Came second wining Sega Mega Drives,

"A N otherW team came third, winning nerf guns

== Conspiracy ==

Later that night it was revealed that the committee are, in fact, members of the Illuminati, and are engaged in a plot by the New World Order to take over the government. Fact.

Unfactual is not a word. Fact.

One assumes you have objective proof that their attempt to call shennanagins is untrue?

Other then my word, and the word of the rest of the committee no, however the concept of innocent until proven guilty and defamation comes into play, so the onnus is on them to provide proof of their accusations, a '''public''' wiki is not the place for this.

So here we have one of the greatest scams ever to be encountered in the history of RedBrick.

On the evening of the 30th March 2010, RedBrick had a grand wee quiz. Problem is: it was a farce.

In the raffle, receive won the Dell netbook. Fair fucks you might think. But I ask you this: why did he buy 24 tickets as opposed to 25? 24 tickets cost €28, yet 25 tickets cost €25. Surely one would go for the more economic option? Also, receive had 6 people on his team. The maximum per team was officially 4 people. We know this coz we asked the committee before it started in attempt to make some unnecessary lulz: "What actually constitutes a team?"

So yeah. Rabble etc. I call shenanigans.

Trying to rub out the truth eh?

It currently has a malfunctioning internal fan, so every 2 minutes (give or take), it decides something's wrong, spins all the other fans up to full power, flashes bright orange and displays warnings on its little LCD screen. A replacement fan has been ordered off eBay.

== Services ==

* Serial consoles for things-that-support-serial-access
* Gateway to the management network
* Nagios
* VPN tunnel to [[Severus]], which lives in the CSD server room in the library.

Committee

2009-10-17T22:00:03Z

Johan:

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.

Why Did You Choose Your Username

2008-10-14T22:56:54Z

Johan:

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



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

I wanted AngelEyes1 since its my nick everywhere else, but the dam 8 char rull and all. Drusilla actually picked it, she registered me with AngelKat. Dame her smart ways, I know, Ill make her watch mind numbing soaps so I can be the best hehe ;p

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

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

==[[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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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)
