There is now a wireless link extending the Sksp network to Sksp2 on Donald.
It still needs some optimization (Sksp side is crooked and not aimed, Sksp2
is just attached to a railing with the wire randomly draped down the fire
stairwell;
we're planning & getting landlord permission to install a sledmount on the
roof)
but at least now we can transparently move devices from one place to
another.

Later in the week I'll setup a VLAN so the internet-side is bridged to
Sksp2 and
server owners could bring over their machines (hard mode: use a UPS to move
your server while on, so users just lose connectivity for 5 minutes and
then see
the server come back with all their apps still running).

Thanks to Justin and Adrian for their help, and HighSpeedCrow for donating
all the mounting hardware and lending us a top-of-the-line radio link (it's
worth
a few $K so be careful if you're doing anything near it!)

Card access at Sksp2 will be looked at after Tuesday's meetings.
