@World Cyber Games NZ, part 2
Ok, I have a little more time and brain function to type now...
For those not in the know, I'm the network admin for the biggest LAN party in NZ, The World Cyber Games NZ Qualifier. It's a big job that involves lots of sleep depravation, but it's fun in a sick way. It started at 12:30 on Friday (today), and will go till Sunday. Here are a bunch of photos, and maybe tomorrow I'll post some more...
It's been a hectic few days. To start of this picture trail of some of my experience, I think the most fitting is an image of how my flat looked the night before setup day. In this picture you should see a switch, my laptop, my server, my HP 90/700 terminal, 4x Cisco switches resting on a firewall, 1 massive switch, another terminal, and Jono (aka Sheep) on my laptop configuring the switch.
Next up is two photos of the WCG banner and TelstraClear Pacific banner. Just to prove we made it.
And the communications room at TelstraClear Pacific stadium, the place where we ran our 100m ethernet internet link out of, as well as patch to the rest of the building...
My laptops and Jono...
My 42" plasma, which displays a graph of the internet usage, as well as a warning to n00bs...
The lights of a switch.
Endless rows of people... (760 total really)
So ya, thats what I'm up to this weekend. Don't blame me if I don't text back, I'm busy blocking network ports.
