No it wasn't! You just didn't look hard enough. ;-)
It looked very very locked, with big gates all closed shut
with big padlocks on them. I spent 20 minutes or so walking
around the building and all of the buildings adjacent to it.
There were no entrances that I could see that were not locked.
I tried the handle on every door that I found. They were all
locked.
Is there some secret subterranean passage that I should have
known about? A wormhole gateway in from sector 45 alpha? One
of those groovy ice portals like in Van Helsing? Pity, because
I would have liked to try the ice thingy, even if there were
vampires on the other side.
There was a room nearby with a Debian logo outside of it.
The room was empty.
Which room is it that you speak of? :>
Down a set of stairs in an adjacent building, immediately
east of the Engineering building. At the end of a corridor.
It had lots of CROs and PCs and other electronics gear in it.
One feature was a big mob of cables with a BNC connector
on one end and alligator clips on the other, hanging on some
kind of rack near the door.
I'm not sure that it had a name. It was some kind of lab.
There were no actual people in it.
It wasn't the building that was marked on the map, anyway,
so I was probably in the wrong place.
We came, we saw, we drank (caffiene), some actually coded - and some
even mentioned the word Debian.
...and it's still going.
Good to hear. I did cut some code, on the ferry on the way
home. I even have it working now, once I got on the net and
figured out why I was getting that particular error. Yay for
google.
Perhaps it was easy to find if you were a uni student and know
the secret entrances into the building, which I failed to find.
Trouble is, I went to Uni of WA and not USyd. So perhaps you
need to restrict these meetings to USyd old boys, put a sign up
(or perhaps several), or make them easier to find.
