Malware Scam via Indian Call Centre
by Wayne Grimsey 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi guys. Here's a scam that's been doing the rounds. One of my friends in Dunedin received such a phone call: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres One of the commenters below the article said he was runnng Linux ... and the caller said that may have caused the problem with his Windows! If they ring me, I might just say something in broken English along the lines of, " Sorry, I can't download your nasty fraudalent expensive malware on my broken abacus, should I try the garbage disposal unit instead?"

Thursday Night Christmas Curry
by David Hallett 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

We're looking to start running Hamilton curry nights again. The recent Christmas Curry had a good number of registrations. It was there that a suggestion was made there to reinstate the Hamilton Thursday Night Curry. If you are interested in attending (even irregularly) please let me know you intention, and whether you prefer weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. I'm going to use the NZCS Events System ( http://www.nzcs.org.nz/events/waikato_bop) to manage RSVPs and booking, thus significantly reducing the administration overhead. Kind regards, David Hallett, BSc, MNZCS ITCP P.O. Box 15-516 Hamilton, New Zealand Phone: +64-7-210 5520 Mobile: +64-21-802 256

fiber attached storage
by Gregory Machin 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Hi. I have 3 servers , and 4 fiber cards (2 of infineon with intel chip, and 2 with qlogic chip ) . So what I want to have one server as storage and 2 running esxi, booting over the fiber, off the storage server. I'm looking for a Howto on setting up a storage server that presents storage over fiber. I have worked with Xiotech fiber storage devices, from an administration of resources, so my knowledge of fibre technology is limited. But this is a home project build on donated hardware, so I need to build my own fiber storage server .. I have googled and yet to find a clear howto on this... Any input welcome Thanks Gregory Machin -- - TLA - three letter acronym ... - We are loosing the art of communication through progress..
