2 computers in my room connected to one 19" colour LCD with a monitor-switch, one has non-emulated dos the other has linux
1 computer in my brother's room with color screen and emulated dos (winXP)
1 computer with 14" colour screen and native dos, currently resting in the balcony waiting for the meeting
1 oldie laptop with responsive colour LCD, non-emulated dos, and a pretty loud speaker
the server, not for racing, with linux and 1 b&w monitor
except the laptop they all have working home networking and internet shared. However I'd rather separate internet and stunts.
my plan, to keep things organized and to maintain some living space:
the main race will take place on my wooden stunts-box connected to the 19" LCD. This way the race can be easily watched from my bed (~5 spectators
) If we are not seriously racing and JTK is not singing (Akoss will be allowed to sing only outside the building
my primary linux box is gladly playing some great music for you, anytime
For training in the same room the laptop and the -currently in the balcony- computer+colour screen will be available on a separate desk. It's fun as this desk is located in front of a mirror so you can watch their face and hands while racing
When the race gets serious (lol, never
), we can bring the laptop into any other room, and so not interfere with the race. If someone would like to train while the others are sleeping I can suggest bringing the laptop to the kitchen or the toilet
A third desk in my room will be set up to hold the snacks and drinks. Preferably no food and definitely no drinks are welcome on the computer desks. Remember, some have to sleep in this room (like me) every day, lets not ruin it on the frst day.
for 24h internet my brother's computer will be available in the other room, and we'll have a ritual in the third room, when we put in the disks from the original stunts box into the amiga (though I opened the box the disks were never used!), and suffer with stunts 1.2
The live-race may include a round on the amiga too
As my room already sounds overcrowded with 3 computers, snacks and racing I'll try to solve things so the meals could take place in the third (my former) room. I fear it's not possible though. In this case we'll have to clean up my room and mainly the training desk, when we'll have chili beans and the other fabulous foods
i think this will be more than enough. Another thing. My network switch has one more open socket. If you bring a laptop AND an at least 5m long UTP cable it can also have internet anytime.
