<p>Thanks for getting back to me on that and confirming you'll run
those talks.</p>
<p>Here are the proposed descriptions for the events I'm
running/championing:</p>
<p><b>Fantastic Servers and Where to Find Them / How 2 UCC<br>
</b></p>
<p>For those of you who signed up to UCC in semester 1 and haven't
been back again, this talk is for you! For those of you who have
been around the clubroom a fair bit, there's still plenty for you
to find out.</p>
<p>I'll be going over the services that UCC offers, from the popular
vending machines, to virtual machine hosting and our own GitLab
instance, as well as going into some of the background detail of
what holds it all together.</p>
<p>The talk will be in the clubroom and all are welcome.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Taking Pictures... From Space! / Using a Cheap
Software-Defined Radio<br>
</b></p>
<p>Interesting radio signals are all around us, many of them
completely open to whoever has the right equipment. And while that
used to mean expensive scanners, a lot can now be achieved with a
$25 "TV" dongle and a cheap laptop.<br>
</p>
<p>I will be introducing the concept of Software-Defined Radio, how
that differs from the one in your car, and some of the many things
you can do with one. Then, we'll show off capturing a signal, and
go hunting for other interesting signals to decode. If we're
lucky, we might even be able to download a picture straight from a
weather satellite.<br>
</p>
<p>Finally, if there are any door or wheel members who might want to
help out with the How 2 UCC talk, that would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>James [MPT]<br>

Hi,<br>
Below are some hopefully catchy titles and body texts for some
talks I'd like to run, ideally in sequence.<br>
<br>
<strong>Learn to Love Linux I</strong><br>
Start with your very own Linux Virtual Machine (VM) hosted at UCC!
We'll show you how to install the latest Debian Linux, and cover
the basic commands.<br>
You'll also have the opportunity to set up a web server and start
making a website!<br>
No prior experience necessary :)<br>
<br>
<strong>Learn to Love Linux II</strong><br>
Following on from Part 1, learn about DNS - the system which is
behind almost everything you know about on the Internet!<br>
DNS is the system that translates names like "google.com.au" to IP
addresses like 8.8.8.8. You'll get a domain name of your very own,
in the form <username>.workshop.ucc.asn.au, and learn how to
host multiple different websites on a single web server!<br>
<br>
<strong>Free Internet!!1! and where to find it!</strong><br>
This time I'll talk about DNS tunnelling, which can be used to
hide your internet packets inside totally innocuous DNS queries
(which can sneak past oh so many firewalls), and give an
introduction to my fork of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/yarrick/iodine">https://github.com/yarrick/iodine</a>.<br>
If you've been to the previous talk about setting up your own DNS,
this will be a lot easier to follow, but even if you're new I'll
try to explain.<br>
<br>
Cheese.<br>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>More news on the tech talks front! I've locked in the Thursday
5:30 pm timeslot for talks this semester, starting from a week
Thursday. The schedule for talks at current is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Week 4: Fantastic Servers and Where to Find Them/How 2 UCC
(Thursday 22 August, 5:30 pm) -- [MPT] and others</li>
<li>Week 5: Take Pictures from Space for $25/How to Use a Cheap
Software-Defined Radio (Thursday 29 August, 5:30 pm) -- [MPT]</li>
<li>Week 6: Introduction to Linux Sysadmin (Thursday 5
September, 5:30 pm) -- [FVP]</li>
<li>Week 7: Introduction to Linux Sysadmin 2 (Thursday 12
September, 5:30 pm) -- [FVP]</li>
<li>Week 8: TBC (likely Introduction to Linux Sysadmin 3)
(Thursday 19 September, 5:30 pm)</li>
<li>Week 9: Decompiling Binaries to C Code (Thursday 26
September, 5:30 pm) -- [LE@]</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that these times are not final, but I'll be hoping
to start advertising the first few talks in the first half of
the coming week. I'll also be looking to schedule a welcome
event of some kind before the first talk on the 22nd</p>
<p>If anyone else is interested in giving a talk to an interested
audience, don't hesitate to get in touch.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
