FAQ
Q: what does the name PoiXson mean?
A: nothing really.. it’s a name a good friends of mine came up with years ago. we registered the domain and never did much with it, so it just seems, pretty much, a perfect use for it. it has nothing to do with poisons or chemicals or the band. it just looks cool and makes for a nice logo!
Q: can I drink or smoke at the lan party?
A: yes, this event is BYOB, but underage drinking can’t and wont be tolerated. there is normally no smoking in my house, but there will be a separate smoking room for adults to use, rather then standing outside in the cold.
Q: what should I bring?
A: your computer or console games, whatever you’ll be playing. some snacks and food, some extra cash just in case. BEER, friends, and video games! we should have cables and such to lend to you if you forget anything, but a 10 foot network cable and a surge protector would be a help.
Q: will there be internet access at the lan party? reliable?
A: yes. my network design hasn’t yet be tested with more then 5 people, but I doubt there will be any problems or lag. everything should be very fast. 15mb cable internet, linux based router with QoS, and 3 26 port managed non-block switches. a few gigabit ports are available on request, but these are first come first serve. they will go fast. last night, I downloaded a 3.5gb linux install iso in under an hour.
here are a few logo’s my good friend daniel made back in the day
