With a strong community of posters to be found on Redbrick, it is inevitable that a number of in-jokes exist. Feel free to update and add to this list.

When adding a new in-joke, please keep the same format.

="Is this another one of those recursive wiki entries?"=

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.

=Finland has an Army?=

Well someone asks a question on the boards and then someone will respond with "Finland has an army?". It sometimes changed to fit in the context of the thread, for example on a thread discussing this wiki, [[User:Doc|Doc]] suggested the topic [[Finland Has An Army]].

Sometimes, someone will then ask, what is this "Finland has an Army?" shenanigans. This will prompt someone else to write a long description of the origin of the joke will then prompt someone else to reply with "Finland has an Army?"

This joke has taken on a life of its own. Some of members of Redbrick work in Google and they slipped in an ad to Google's ads: [http://thedeadone.net/?p=194 Redbrick has an Army?]

Finland has an army?

</pre>

===Origin===

Somebody posted a news story about people escaping Finland's conscription by being addicted to the internet. This made them unsuitable for military service.

Somebody followed up to this with "Finland has an army?". I don't think this was repeated too much, but the response, "They held back the Russians in World War 2" - and one million and five variants - was soon posted, by one million and size people eager to demonstrate their sexy historical knowledge. They were so eager, they didn't check to see if anybody else had posted something similar. After a while, people started posting it ironically, to demonstrate that people should check threads before posting.

Since then, "Finland has an army?" and "held back the russians in world war 2" in a response have come to mean "This has already been said". Constant reposting of the same answer in various slightly different (or implausibly identical) forms is a variant of this injoke - the Nebuchadnezzar joke below is an example. Likewise, expect the current topic to be incorporated: "Google has a Finland?" - "Held back the Matrix in world war 2".

=The Nebuchadnezzar=

Often used in response to obvious questions or lingustic related questions. Someone replies with a post saying "The name of the ship was the Nebuchadnezzar. It was the ship in the Matrix".

===Origin===

[http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~spock Spock] started this one off. He asked a seemingly simple question. He wanted to know if anyone knew a word he had heard which he attempted to spell it phonetically. This provoked a huge amount of responses as people replied saying it was the Nebuchadnezzar. And so an in-joke was born.

=FREE SHERRO!!!=

Often said ironically by older members to indicate that they are being intentionally loud and/or obnoxious.

===Origin===

Sometime in 1997, a user named sherro was DisUsered for being an ass (as a lot of users were wont to be). This then caused a torrent of calls from his friends to re-enable his account. These took the form of the words 'FREE SHERRO!!!' in almost every form NewsGroups, emails to committee, spamming in ItchyNuts and such). It's been verified that the call was also scrawled as graffitti in some of DCUs toilets.

Since then, FREE SHERRO!!! has been used as a statement to indicate that the sayer is being ironically loud and obnoxious. Nobody younger then about 4th gen ever really gets this.

=tbh=

Stands for "to be honest". Gives a cheesy superiority to the person who says it. Usually said when trying to be authoritative about something, or when telling off someone for being stupid. e.g. "You suck tbh", "Gaming is deadly tbh".

===Origin===

Mid-late 2004, originated with zyox who overused it.

As any Redbrick discussion about religion or religion and science grows longer, the probability of a comparison to relativism approaches one.

=Batman Movies=

A movie title, quote, plot summary or tag-line has the main character (or a some other element) replaced with Batman. Subsequent posters followup with more examples of "Batman Movies".

There's something about Batman.

===Origin===

It originated on the redbrick.movies board and went on for quite a bit. It resurfaced again in May 2006 on a discussion about what the longest thread on the boards and so it is now an official a Redbrick in-joke.

==Barcelona==

===Essentials===
* Get the Timeout guide to Barcelona. I used it as my bible when I was living there, it's a lot more thorough than I can be :)
* The Sagrada Familia (climb to the top, damnit) and Parc Guell are amazing.
* Go to the Picasso museum. Do it!
* Spend a day on Montjuic: walk up from Placa Espanya, do the Olympic Museum + stadium, walk around the Olympic area and then head up to the Miro museum. Then walk to the cable car and get it down to the port.
* Overlooking the city is Tibadabo, a hill with a totally corny funfair, a very odd cathedral (built by Franco's cronies to piss off the leftwing and decidely not suppportive of a nazi-rightwing-Catholic dictatorship people of Barcelona) and a HUGE telecommunications tower with an amazing view of the city and surrounding areas.
* Go and check out the magic fountains at Placa Espanya. The music is shite, but they're good fun - Something to do between the daytime and nighttime stuff after eating.
* FC Barcelona's stadium has a great museum, and is a impressive enough to see in it's own right. The tour gets you onto the edge of the pitch, but not actually onto the playing surface, into the dressing rooms etc., it's definitely recomended (I've done it 5 times now).
* Do the modern art museum (MACBA) in Placa Angel. There's some nice eateries around there too.

* Sit on the right hand side of the plane when you're flying into Barcelona, there's a great view!

===Day trips===

* Take a train up to Figures, go to the Dali museum.
* Climb up Montserrat (a train ride away).
* If you're beaching, do not go down to the beaches in Barcelona. Well, you can, but they're shite and busy. Get a train down to Castelldefells or Sitges, the beaches there are natural and far more pleasant experiences.

===Eating===

There are good fooderies everywhere really, follow the Timeout guide (there's a food and drink specific one). I liked Gracia, there's some great places there (look out for an Iraqi place and a Cuban place).

===Mmmm, beer===

* Razzamatazz has multiple stories of music (mainly alternative), open late (like, until 6am or so) and is good fun. http://www.salarazzmatazz.com/
* Spend a night in Placa del Sol (Gracia), Mond bar is a great indie bar, and Woodies is a cool little jazz bar.
* La Paloma is a trendy nightclub in an old Ballroom.
* I liked Bar Benidorm, 39 Joaquin Costa (near Placa Angel).

==Rome==

http://www.stargatehotels.com - Reasonably priced at high season, OK. Nice dDouble rooms in the 'Anakin Stargate' (!!) section recently refurbished. Don't bother with the breakfast. 
http://www.hotelturner.com/index.htm - on Via Nomentana, 10-15 mins to Trevi fountain. Website makes it look far nicer than it is. But you'll probably spend most of your holiday in Rome walking about. 
 
Most places are within 30 minutes walk of the main bus terminal in Rome (Termini) so could be best to find a place to stay close to there. Full of hotels and well connected, but not great otherwise. 
 
Another option is to find somewhere in the Centro Storico (Pantheon/Piazza Navona/Campo Di Fiori). Great food, sites, pubs, and right in the middle of things. Reasonable price might be a problem. Area around the Vatican is also a good option.
 
You can do Pompeii in a nice day trip, although it takes some time to get there so is a full day trip. Bring an umbrella (there is no shade there, so it makes it more pleasant on a blisteringly hot day). Alternatively, do this day trip during off-season and in less heat. Also could do this trip via a night's stay in Napoli (supposdely fascinating if not relaxing), and/or another in one of the towns along the Amalifi coast such as Positano or Amalifi or Ischia. 
 
Alternative day trip possible to Ostia Antica, the Roman river port. Adam (cthulhu) recommends it as just as good as Pompeii but less than an hour from the city. 
 
Sistine Chapel is morning opening only, and queues are massive so get there early. Not all brickies recommend this, as there is a long walk around heavily decorated corridoors through crowds before you actually reach the chapel, and it has the potential for anti-climax. (Alternatively, it is still quite impressive!). 
 
Other options for visits include the Colesseum and the Palantine (both covered by the same ticket, you can save time if you buy at the Palantine).

The disk array

2007-04-19T17:02:25Z

Singer:

The Disk Array, or as it was pretentiously titled and labeled by it's constructor : JoltStorage Array Model 618, is what it sounds like: An array of Jolts. Dear Mother of crap no, I mean and array of disks, but almost as bad.

The array was first talked about around about February/March 2000, when it was decided that following several admin fuckups with disk-space, and Enigma, our main machine at the time, running at close to 90% of usage on /home that we needed more disk space, quick.

Following this impetus, the acquisition of the array went into the deep murky dark depths of the RedBrick Committee. The details are sketchy, and the individuals involved reluctant to come out with details. What is known is that some number of months later some people were consulted on a likely setup. Myself and Grimnar among others. Over the summer as a new committee came into force Phil took charge of the getting an array, and many dealings were had with the SPC. Eventually after many months, the cash was secured.

Around about now, some 6 months after getting the array was discussed, enigma's disk started to fill. It would do this about twice a week, the end result being that peoples mails were bouncing and the system was pretty much unusable. "When is the array coming?", we would ask, only be told that there were difficulties getting it ordered and delivered. Trouble with Online hardware sites and so on.

In the meantime, Elmer loaned RedBrick a SUN SCSI disk he found in a skip (we think) as a temporary solution. It was mounted as /its-nah-far-me-its-far-me-ma (Bobb) on enigma, which helped things a little, though it did once physically fall down the back of the monolith bringing enigma down with it.

Around about December it was finally actually ordered, on David Murphy's credit card I believe. It was delivered direct to Dave, who assembled and tested it (according to him) and in February it reached RedBrick, a good year after it had first been discussed.

Now this was no ordinary disk array. This was a piece of utter shit. Whoever had designed and bought it had approximately zero clue. The Raid controller was a bottom of the line mylex but would barely get us away with RAID5, there was no cable that was suitable or even long enough to connect it Enigma, oops. But worse, the disk array was built in a Server chassis, easily 20 times bigger volume than need be. This meant an extra long, custom-made SCSI cable was needed, that it would waste a ridiculous amount of space, and be pain to move around. Minor gripes are that it wasn't rack mountable, and that the drives/backplane were not SCA or hot-swappable.

We had no way to power this array, we're not sure how Dave did his testing. We had a 300W ATI PSU and 6 disks but no way to tell the PSU to power on. Numerous suggestions were made, and admins knew that pins 2 and 4 could be soldered together and it would work, but instead it was decided to use an ATI motherboard, which was handy because the way it worked out there was a spare.

On the plus side it did have 6 nice IBM drives, each with their own cooling enclosure. The use of a server chassis is overkill but extremely convient to a) fit a PSU in, b) fit disks in a 5 1/4" drive bay. Custom external drive enclosures couild well have cost more. So there it was, proudly titled "JoltStorage Array Model 618", and there it sat, for 2 months.

Two months later, in late March, it was decided that an attempt would be made to bring the array online. We don't have an idea of how much clue the people involved actually have, but they sure fucked up bigtime. Dave Murphy came out specially for the occasion, I'm sure he was a great help. Anyway, what ever they did enigma's system disk got trashed and it turned out they never even had the right cables or connectors to plug the array in in any case. So Enigma ended up going home with bobb who canilbalised one of the array disks and restored enigma from it's other system disk. Enigma was gone for over a week in what was the largest incident of downtime in the last 3 years.

About a month later, SUN decided after work by the committee, to donate an E450 to us. Anythign remotely array-related was forgotten about and all efforts were put towards the E450. As late as June, when the first in-person admin meeting (dubbed "The Architecture meeting") took place there was still the intention to install the array. Work on the E450 took priority though, and the array slid and slid. Amazingly, Prodigy (the E450) came online in October on Clubs and Socs Week, though the move was a little sudden.

With 2 committees now having failed to get the array online the new committee resolved to do it. Plans were put into action and a cable and brackets to fit the array were ordered from a crowd in cork. Again, there were difficulties ordering and getting them, but moridin managed to secure them by December.

In January, whilst testing the array, Mark somehow managed to set the PSU to 110V and plug it in. BANG , PSUs don't like that. That wasn't the only problem, the SCSI cable wasn't long enough anyway.

To consolidate hardware the admins decided to upgrade Enigma following an unrelated CPU failure which happened 6 months previous. A new PSU for the array was ordered, and over the course of a long weekend (to coincide with a CSD outage) in RFC technologies we swapped the motherboard in enigma, put the old one in the array got it up and running and made sure it worked. Aswell as working on Prodigy and Nanny at the same time.

The shitty mylex controller gave us some problems and was a tempremental bitch, but it fixed itself after a while or it could have been enigma. More problematic was the cable. Because of the ridiculous stupidity of whomever designed the array the large chassis meant that we couldn't get a cable to fit that length. We actually had to turn the chassis upside down put it right up to enigma and go through main parts of the normally closed chassis enclosure just to test it.

Needless to say this was not good enough. After a few weeks of searching for a supplier of SCSI cables cns found an excellent supplier of custom made cables based in the UK. Two new cables were ordered and they arrived in late July 2002.

In August two attempts were made to connect the array to enigma for testing, it didn't like it either time. After some intense RTFMing on my part the problem was traced to a jumper in the first instance and then a mysterious enigma-has-to-be-rebooted-twice effect which pixies discovered (he has psychic admin-fu, respect his powers).

Lastly, in order to initialise the array without it's missing disk (the one that was now in enigma itself) a spare 18Gb drive was needed. Cns posted askign for a loan from any brickies and John Bolger kindly turned up for one. Unfortunately this disk was SCA but cns came to the rescue by forking out for a SCA <-> HBA adapter and the array was initialised.

Finally in September 2002, after 3 committees, and 27 months the array was finally brought online on enigma following some last minute trouble from the ol' bitch:

improvement of the newsgroups. We'll argue about it and revise the document as
suggestions are addedand good ideas become obvious. Do not treat this document
as final or even totally serious - treat them as ideas to play with. The summer
will be the best time to make most of these changes, though the lists can be
fixed soon enough. The expiry time is another thing we want fixed soon too. 1
month is the current proposal. Also suggested is that we moved redbrick.* to
rb.* - This would reduce the screen clutter and leave more room for comments.

INTERSOCS NEWSGROUPS WILL BE RETIRED UNTIL THE SERVICE IS WORKING WELL AGAIN <CAPS-LOCK off>

==Aims==

* To trim un-used groups
* To rename & add other groups
* Delete bogus groups
* Generally make the newsgroups better/cleaner
* Improve the hierarchy so related groups are beside each other by default

This posting is a working list of some ideas we have knocking around for the
improvement of the newsgroups. We'll argue about it and revise the document as
suggestions are addedand good ideas become obvious. Do not treat this document
as final or even totally serious - treat them as ideas to play with. The summer
will be the best time to make most of these changes, though the lists can be
fixed soon enough. The expiry time is another thing we want fixed soon too. 1
month is the current proposal. Also suggested is that we moved redbrick.* to
rb.* - This would reduce the screen clutter and leave more room for comments.

Newsgroup Reorganisation

Singer: /* Redbrick Newsgroup Renovation Project Working Document v1.7 */

=Redbrick Newsgroup Renovation Project Working Document v1.7=

Original Authors: p@redbrick, singer@redbrick

INTERSOCS NEWSGROUPS WILL BE RETIRED UNTIL THE SERVICE IS WORKING WELL AGAIN <CAPS-LOCK off>

==Aims==

* To trim un-used groups
* To rename & add other groups
* Delete bogus groups
* Generally make the newsgroups better/cleaner
* Improve the hierarchy so related groups are beside each other by default

This posting is a working list of some ideas we have knocking around for the
improvement of the newsgroups. We'll argue about it and revise the document as
suggestions are addedand good ideas become obvious. Do not treat this document
as final or even totally serious - treat them as ideas to play with. The summer
will be the best time to make most of these changes, though the lists can be
fixed soon enough. The expiry time is another thing we want fixed soon too. 1
month is the current proposal. Also suggested is that we moved redbrick.* to
rb.* - This would reduce the screen clutter and leave more room for comments.

Singer: /* lists. (3)) */

=Redbrick Newsgroup Renovation Project Working Document v1.7=

Original Authors: p@redbrick, singer@redbrick

NOTE TO INTERSOCS FOLK - THIS PROPOSES TO DELETE LOTS OF INTERSOCS NEWSGROUPS!
NEWSGROUPS! SPEAK UP OR LOSE THEM! <CAPS-LOCK off>

==Aims==

* To trim un-used groups
* To rename & add other groups
* Delete bogus groups
* Generally make the newsgroups better/cleaner
* Improve the hierarchy so related groups are beside each other by default

This posting is a working list of some ideas we have knocking around for the
improvement of the newsgroups. We'll argue about it and revise the document as
suggestions are addedand good ideas become obvious. Do not treat this document
as final or even totally serious - treat them as ideas to play with. The summer
will be the best time to make most of these changes, though the lists can be
fixed soon enough. The expiry time is another thing we want fixed soon too. 1
month is the current proposal. Also suggested is that we moved redbrick.* to
rb.* - This would reduce the screen clutter and leave more room for comments.

Newsgroup Reorganisation

2006-03-16T12:34:25Z

Singer: /* someirishtranslationofredbrick. (scrapped) */

=Redbrick Newsgroup Renovation Project Working Document v1.7=

Original Authors: p@redbrick, singer@redbrick

NOTE TO INTERSOCS FOLK - THIS PROPOSES TO DELETE LOTS OF INTERSOCS NEWSGROUPS!
NEWSGROUPS! SPEAK UP OR LOSE THEM! <CAPS-LOCK off>

==Aims==

* To trim un-used groups
* To rename & add other groups
* Delete bogus groups
* Generally make the newsgroups better/cleaner
* Improve the hierarchy so related groups are beside each other by default

This posting is a working list of some ideas we have knocking around for the
improvement of the newsgroups. We'll argue about it and revise the document as
suggestions are addedand good ideas become obvious. Do not treat this document
as final or even totally serious - treat them as ideas to play with. The summer
will be the best time to make most of these changes, though the lists can be
fixed soon enough. The expiry time is another thing we want fixed soon too. 1
month is the current proposal. Also suggested is that we moved redbrick.* to
rb.* - This would reduce the screen clutter and leave more room for comments.
