Dork-A-Thon Music Xchange?

[hkellick]

I had an idea. I'm curious to see who'd want to be a part of this.
One of the main interests many of us share is music.
So, perhaps as part of the Dork-A-Thon, I suggest a Music Exchange.
Don't worry, I'm not asking you to bring your computers along.
What I suggest is this:
Any interested party burn one CD of songs (you can burn MP3s or just a plain old music CD. Whichever you like) that chances are that the others don't have.
If you like, you can hand tailor your CD to the person you're giving it to (for example, I might, should I choose, burn a different CD for.. say kareila who knows more of the stuff I like than ecwoodburn), but that's up to you.
So.. would people be interested in this sort of idea? :)

Sure, I'm in. s:)

And since we brought it up Saturday, I can bring the router (as well as my computer). It's only 4 ports, but I get up to 250-odd IP addresses, so between that and dawnstar and kolys's hub, I think we'll have everyone covered fairly well (so long as they have a regular NIC rather than wireless).

If there's any equipment you'd like to have that you can't provide, let me know? I could bring all kinds of cables, hubs, a wireless access point...

Hee, yay geeks! Are we hijacking this into a LAN party?

Um, I've got a Linksys router, PC tower dual-booting Win2k/Win98, and a few regular CAT5s. (I know dawnstar and kolys have a hub, not sure if we'd need it or not (and don't want to assume anything unless one of them jumps in on this), plus wires for their laptops to connect.)

I adore VNC and would likely just run that on my computer once it was set up, rather than bothering with another monitor.

How many wireless computers would we be potentially working with? And do we continue this discussion here, or do we just drag all the geeks into a room in Chaotic or AIM and sort it out there? dawnstar said she gave you my AIM, which is fine by me seeing as I added you a few days earlier. s:)

This is a dork-a-thon. We're allowed to dork/geek out :)
LAN party is OK. Just wanna make sure there's room for everyone.
So long as y'all hook me up into the network so I can steal music from everyone ;D

[phoenixsong]

Of course we'll hook you in. Silly boy. s:*

And now that Kareila's brought up wireless, that may very well fix the space restriction issue. I'll have to geek with her and other interested parties to figure it out for certain.
