Good morning!
Tomorrow evening it is #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) again in #Manchester.
Join them for a #Networking #MeetUp at the Northern Monk (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester) from 7pm.

The talk will be by James Blessing: 'Did β€œwe” build the wrong network?'

Hot on the heels of his June presentation, and coming from similar experience, James is back to speak to you all about what he thinks of all our networks. There is no doubt given James’ usual style that this will be a light-hearted and thought provoking gallop through the networks we’ve built, and those we will likely build in the future.

I'll be there for 🍻 , πŸ”, 🍟 and ℹ️ πŸ˜€

NetMcr – Networking for Networkers, in Manchester

It was a great evening.
Both talks were great. Christian Farrow (@zedstarr) did an entertaining talk about about time synchronisation and atomic clocks, which was really good. Sadly it was so interesting I forgot to take any pictures.

That is the second talk about time I heard at #NetMCR, but both were great and there was no overlap in information, surprisingly!

Apparently around #Nicosia is where the most spoofed GPS signals in the world happen.

Sam Cater (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/samalexcater) also gave a very interesting talk about #CHERI (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/) and what it does.
This was also great as I'd heard of the term, but that was about it.

Good morning!
Tonight it is #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) again in #Manchester.
Join them for a #Networking #MeetUp at the Northern Monk (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester) from 7pm.

Talks will include:

* *Sam Cater, 'CHERI - Bolstering security by baking it into silicon'*:

A quick run-down of what the CHERI Alliance is and how it came to be, what the technology does, how it's being utilised today with wins & losses. There will be some use-cases demonstrated and a little spin on how that's useful to Sam's employer.

* *Christian Farrow, 'From networked clocks to TikTok: atomic timekeeping makes its retro return!'*:

Our resident Time Lord is back once again with a neat run down on atomic timekeeping. Arcane mysteries or run-of-the-mill devices? Come find out!

*You?*:

Feel free to come and speak to us if you've something to speak about, on the evening or ahead of time!

Hopefully see you there for some 🍻 , πŸ”, 🍟 and ℹ️ πŸ˜€

Morning all! This Thursday, 12th June #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) are having a #Networking #MeetUp at the Northern Monk (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester).

I'm not sure what the talks are going to be about, but it has been a good evening in the past.

NetMcr – Networking for Networkers, in Manchester

Tomorrow night (8th May), #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) are having a #MeetUp again at the Northern Monk in #Manchester (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester).

The meeting starts at 7pm, come and listen to talks (or give one yourself) about #networking subjects, and mingle with other networky-types πŸ’» ⚑ 🍹

There will be a talk titled "'Time, What a concept!" by Alfie Foster - "A beginners guide to running your own Stratum-1 NTP service."

"Alfie's often come to us with some very raw engineering topics, and this is absolutely no different. We might have had a lot of discussion about time and NTP lately, but we reckon that at least three of you are going to go home and buy something after seeing this. πŸ˜‰"

#Networking - both kinds 🀣

Tonight (13th March), #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) are having a #MeetUp again at the Northern Monk in #Manchester (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester).

The meeting starts at 7pm, come and listen to talks (or give one yourself) about #networking subjects, and mingle with other networky-types πŸ’» ⚑ 🍹

Tonights talk is by Marek Isalski - 'What happens when an altnet goes bust?' An interactive discussion session about the possible "unhappy paths" of altnet business models, when both scaling-up and selling-out fail.

Sadly I'm not going this month as I'm WFH, but I enjoyed myself last time. The talk was really interesting and the food was nice.

NetMcr – Networking for Networkers, in Manchester

David Groves' (https://www.fibrecat.org/) talk at #NetMCR about measuring and calculating the current time was really interesting, explaining crazy timezones, how DST has changed over the years, leap years and seconds, and then how computers sync time to each other via #NTP and #PTP.

I learnt that you can even get expansion cards that have mini atomic clocks on them! (https://www.opencompute.org/products/319/ocp-time-card-made-by-time-beat)

Sadly I couldn't stay and chat afterwards as I had to get my train ☹️

This Thursday (13th February), #NetMCR (https://www.netmcr.uk/) are having a #MeetUp again, this time in a new location - Northern Monk in #Manchester (https://www.northernmonk.com/pages/manchester).

The meeting starts at 7pm, come and listen to talks (or give one yourself) about #networking subjects, and mingle with other networky-types πŸ’» ⚑ 🍹

David Groves will be 'Talking About Time':

Back once more, David has come this time to speak to us about time. If you caught David's last presentation to NetMcr, you'll not be surprised to hear that this presentation goes very deep into how we deal with time in networking (and in physics) and how that can affect what we're doing with all this Internet stuff.

If i finish work on time, I will be going πŸƒ
