This is an unoffical wiki for users of the Computing Laboratory at Oxford. It's aim is to supplement the growing collection of technical support and information on the official comlab website, which can be found here: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk.

I'm not sure what structure this wiki will eventually have, although I hope it will someday be as complete as the documentation is here: http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/technical. So stuff for the beginners, stuff for the experts. To start with though it's going to be a rough list of my solutions to problems as I find them.

If you want to edit this then please do. Just register and start adding away or modifying content as you feel like it. You have to register to prevent/slow down spammers, but I don't really care what your name is. I don't even care if you're currently at Oxford. Enough ramble. A limited but growing collection of tech support stuff:

• Servers
• Printers
• Bash Files and Functions
• How To: Make things run at startup
• How To: Put things on the Comlab website
• How to: Search the comlab website

• For stationary (stapler, scissors, etc etc) go see Casey, in room 113 or 112 IIRC. If I've remembered this wrong go see Jo Leggett and she'll point you in the right direction.
• Apparently publishing blank line drawings as maps poses a security risk. But they will give you them to you if you ask for them. So email the support people and nag if you want maps of the comlab buildings.
• By default, everyone gets just over 2p worth of disk space each. When this runs out go and talk to Craig or Malcolm directly.
• Information on the OUCLdocument latex package here. There is currently no official thesis package.
• Information on how to claim expenses back and stuff like that here. They are hoping to put this information on the official website and in more detail soon.
• You have two scratch disks: /scratch/<username>, which is network shared and has a quota, and /home/scratch, which is (probably) on your local disk and has no quota. There is also /purged/<username>, which gets wiped every 30 days.
