There was a bunch of productive stuff achieved in UCC today:

The safe was installed on the wall under the window, bolted to both the 
wall, and the table (through some sun disk cases). Some images (large):

Computer Angels donated a rackmount case containing a BT878 capture card 
with 18 inputs on the back. We installed a p2 350 in it, which is now 
available as medusa, but only accepts wheel and committee logins. No luck 
with a driver as yet, but it's being poked.

Adrian installed a second fan at the back of melanopus, which will 
hopefully help with its heat issues. It's been moved to under the desk, as 
otherwise it would block the safe. And with melanopus up, I could 
(cross)compile the driver for the random es1370 pci sound card that's now 
in velvet, so it has working sound again.

Thanks to [AHC], [MTL], [JCF], [MSH], [PXY], [ZAR] and anyone else I 
forgot.
