Re: OT: Cabling to a shed
Kerry Mayes scribbled: I'm wanting to connect up my shed for power (3 phase), water and data (phone network). I have (with significant help) dug the trench to the shed and will be organising the connections in the next few weeks. However, if I run the network cables next to the power cables I'll have issues, yes? Is there any way around that? Can I get shielded ducting for underground use (at reasonable cost)? (I was initially just intending to run the cat5e cable through irrigation hose until I remembered the potential interference issues.) Also get a quote for fibre and media converters. Yuri

You could leave a draw wire in your conduit (use big radius curves in the conduit) to replace the the cat 5 etc. with fibre at a later date. You can yank hard on some copper, but if you snap the fibre, you'll have dead signal...

Not a bad machine though: 30 odd gig of storage, DualCore Atom possessor - 1.6GHz. Built like the proverbial brick out-house. and all for around $550. We're looking at buying a shed load to put in classrooms. What I'm doing now is looking at how feasible it is to use the small laptops in a classroom as well as using EdUbuntu rather than windows. https://www.aquilatech.co.nz/productDetail.asp?idProduct=USB-VGA060 You need a ballsy CPU to run them thought. Looking into it now... thanks. Use another computer for the display and connect to the laptop using VNC? Shoot! I DID think of this a month or so ago!! Honest Gov. but then went and forgot!

I have a small scale laptop with a 23cm (just about) screen. It is capable of resolutions up to 1024 X 600. The devise, however doesn't have a VGA out and I want to plug the thing into a data projector. There are USB to VGA adapters, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding one that works with Linux (EdUbuntu 8.04). Any thoughts or suggestions? Now that we have a bit more of the background story. Forget the data projector altogether. How about testing this: Set up VNC in it's shared, or broadcast, mode and network every student's laptop to the teacher's laptop, which might have to have a bit of grunt to serve a classroom full of student laptops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealVNC http://www.realvnc.com/ In my exp. students get on better if they are looking at their own computer screen instead of at a data-projector. yeah cos they're probably on bebo or playing games. At least when they are supposed to be looking at the data screen, you can vaguely tell which ones are looking at the presentation. Also your suggestion presupposes all the kids have laptops and that there is enough bandwidth in the network (which is probably wireless if they're all laptops) to do VNC to all of them. I tell you there probably not enough bandwidth, vnc is slow enough for one client in my wireless G network. multicast VNC? I wonder?
