Lanwar

As you know, or may not, we have a 1Gbps symmetric pipe for internet for the venue. Which is great! What some of you may remember however from January is that Friday night we had some pretty bad lag for a few hours there. This was almost completely the cause of 2 platforms. Steam and Battle.net and everyone waiting to download their games until they got to the event.

To that end we have some plans to rate limit Steam Download speeds if it becomes a problem again, however, the easiest solution is for you to download your games *before* the event. 1Gbps sounds like alot but when you have 100-400 people all downloading a game, that dries up pretty quickly.

Now, we understand that this isn't always possible. Some of you have bandwidth caps that you can't get around or are stuck with abysmal internet speeds. So feel free to not worry about it and download at the event!

For those of you sitting on those 50, 100, or 300MB connections though, we'd really, really appreciate it if you did your game downloads before hand. (or we'll start capping them to something terrible like 10Mbps so that games can be lag free as they get priority.)

PSA - The hall.

We have lots of new folks coming to this event! To that end I have several PSA's to make this week. Today's concerns the hall.

The hall is temperature controlled, however things happen and sometimes it can get chilly (64-65) (especially in the early morning hours) or hot (upper 70s/ low 80s) (in the afternoons). Make sure you bring/wear clothes that you can be comfortable in.

You can sleep in the hall, however there are some rules to this. (these are Fire Marshall rules)

1. Do NOT block the aisles. There must be a path down each aisle and at the end of the aisle.

2. Do NOT sleep at the very end of the row, leave at least 3' from the last table to your sleeping spot.

3. Do NOT sleep in the 2 main aisles beside server row.

There is absolutely no smoking of any kind in the hall / lobby. This includes e-cigs and vaporizers. This is a UofL campus rule. You can smoke outside, however, please do so at least 10' from the door.

PSA Regarding travel to Lanwar:

The Louisville bridges project is continuing to make progress, so the I64/I65 interchange is different than it was last summer. Folks coming south on I65 from points north will cross the new Lincoln bridge instead of the Kennedy bridge. Folks coming from points west will be very happy to know the ramp from I64 east to I65 south is once again open, but watch for lane changes and road signs. - Wyza
