Hopefully from your post, people will realise that the meeting is
indeed tomorrow evening...<br>
<br>
I have done a bit with VPN, and use OpenVPN every day now...<br>
<br>
I'm ok for the memory to go to a good home...<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">At last month's (September) meeting someone, and I apologise for
forgetting your name, (Ian?) was telling me about using VPN to access
his home network. I've always steered clear of VPN because:
- I have no idea what it is
- I have no idea how it works
- I can't see what use it is to me
- it involves security and stuff
With the advances in mobile internet and broadband dongles and what have
you I think I may try and find out a bit more. I'm motivated by having a
couple of webcams at home that I'd like to keep an eye on. In the past
I've written some unruly scripts for album
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/">http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/</a>) and uploaded bits to some
webpages. Why bother if I can just phone home? Like I say, I've always
run away in the past as I think I'd need to change some settings on my
router to allow certain incoming traffic. It should be apparent that I
only have the vaguest idea of what I'm talking about here, but if anyone
fancies giving me a piece of their mind on the subject tomorrow night I
shall be all ears and beerfully grateful. If there's anything I could
install (Ubuntu 9.04) on my laptop let me know and I'll do it before the
meeting. Or to change on my router, an elderly Zyxel Prestige.
Talking of which; Richard - I upgraded the memory in the laptop to 2GB
and took out the original 512MB piece that was in there. It's no use to
me. I'll bring it along tomorrow in case it's any use to you, otherwise
free to anyone else who wants it. (from a Tosh Equium A80-132).
cheers
Dougie
