<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a id="s_s1">What <em>can</em> I use my SUCS space for?</a></dt>
<dd>Storing files and hosting a personal website or files.</dd>
<dt><a id="s_s2">What <em>can't</em> I use my SUCS space for?</a></dt>
<dd>Storing and sharing illegal or copyrighted material such as mp3s and video files. For further details, please see the <a href="../About/Conditions">SUCS Terms and Conditions</a>. </dd>
<dt><a id="s_s3">How do I access my files from home?</a></dt>
<dd>There are a couple of ways you can access your SUCS files from home. One of the easiest ways is to use a system called WebDAV. This allows you to access your files as though you were looking through folders on your own computer. Check out the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20WebDAV">WebDAV</a> page of the help wiki for more information. You can also log into your SUCS account using SSH, which allows you to access your files from a command line. This is somewhat more technical, but it's a good thing to know how to do. Visit the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Logging%20in%20remotely">remote login page</a> on the help wiki for more information.</dd>
<dt><a id="s_s4">Where is my web space?</a></dt>
<dd>Your public_html folder in your home directory is where you can put files for online viewing. You can also see them at this address: <a href="/~username">http://www.sucs.org/~username</a></dd>
<dt><a id="s_s5">How can I make a website?</a></dt>
<dd>If you are new to HTML and CSS then <a href="http://w3schools.com/" target="_blank">W3Schools</a> has a lot of tutorials that would be useful. Anything you want to be viewed online should be stored in your public_html folder. You can access this on the SUCS machines and using a program such as WinSCP or webDAV. Details of how to set up your public_html folder and write your first web page are available in the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20your%20web%20space">Using your web space</a> walkthrough. </dd>

<h2><a id="community">Getting to know other SUCS members</a></h2>
<dl>
<dt><a id="com1">How can I get to know other SUCS members?</a></dt>
<dd>You can talk to them on Milliways, join in a game on the gameserver or come to the socials :).</dd>
</dl>
<h3><a id="milliways">Milliways</a></h3>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a id="mil1">How do I use Milliways?</a></dt>
<dd>The How To for Milliways is <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20Milliways">here</a> or you can use the web based version of the talker, available at <a href="{$baseurl}/mw">http://sucs.org/mw</a><br />Note that the web talker only supports a few basic commands, not the full feature set supported by the main client.<br /></dd>
<dt><a id="mil2">How do I get colours and other Milliways scripts?</a></dt>
<dd>There is a How To for this in the Help section <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20Milliways/Setting%20up%20Milliways%20Scripts">here</a>.</dd>
<dt><a id="mil3">I'm using Putty I keep pasting when I right click, how can I fix this?</a></dt>
<dd>Open Putty and go to the Selection category under Window. You need to change the 'Control use of mouse' to 'Middle extends, Right brings up menu'. This way you still copy something from Milliways buy selecting it only. It is best to create a saved session for Milliways if you have not already, to save you doing this each time you log in.</dd>
<dt><a id="mil4">How do I see special characters?</a></dt>
<dd>Have a look at the How To <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20Milliways/Correcting%20your%20character%20encoding%20in%20Milliways">here</a>.</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
<h3><a id="gaming">Gaming</a></h3>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a id="gam1">What games can I play on the SUCS gameserver?</a></dt>
<dd>Have a look at the <a href="../Games">Games</a> page.</dd>
<dt><a id="gam2">I don't have some of these games, where can I find them?</a></dt>
<dd>Some are freely available online, otherwise you might have to buy them. Some should be on the computers in the SUCS room, so if you are playing from the SUCS room just have a look on the computer you are using. Check out each game's page for information on obtaining it.</dd>
<dt><a id="gam3">How do I join a game?</a></dt>
<dd>First go to the Games page and log in, then leave the browser window open and start up the game normally. You need to look at the individual page for each game to get the connection information. These are available from the Games page.</dd>
<dt><a id="gam4">I want to play [some game not available], how can I?</a></dt>
<dd>There may be a reason why this is not available, why not ask or make a suggestion for a game on the forum?</dd>

<h3><a id="socials">Socials</a></h3>
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a id="soc1">When are the socials?</a></dt>
<dd>Every week on Wednesday from 1pm until people leave :).</dd>
<dt><a id="soc2">Where are the socials?</a></dt>
<dd>JC's bar in Fulton House.</dd>
<dt><a id="soc3">What do you do at the socials?</a></dt>
<dd>We just hang out really and chat. It is more of a way to get to know everyone and relax ;).</dd>
<dt><a id="soc4">Will there be other social events?</a></dt>
<dd>Yes there will. Keep an eye on your SUCS mail, the forums or even Milliways for more details. Also, at the end of the year after exams there is the annual beach party.</dd>

<h2><a id="the_room">The Room</a></h2>
<dl>
<dt><a id="t_r1">Where is the room exactly</a></dt>
<dd>The room is located on the ground floor of the SU building. See <a href="../About/Room">this page</a> for more details.</dd>
<dt><a id="t_r2">How do I get into the room?</a></dt>
<dd>If you are a student with the old magnetic strip student card, then you swipe your student card in the card reader next to the door, wait for a few seconds and the door will unlock. The monitor by the window shows you the status of the card reader.<br />If you are a student with one of the new cards (without a magnetic strip), place the card on the labelled area next to the card reader, and the door should unlock.<br />Should you need to change the card that you use to access the room, bring it with you to the room and someone should be able to help.<br /></dd>
<dt><a id="t_r3">Are there any rules for using the room?</a></dt>
<dd>Yes. You can read them <a href="../About/Room%20Rules">here</a> or on the notice board in the room.</dd>
<dt><a id="t_r4">What can I do in the room?</a></dt>

<dt><a id="s_s3">How do I access my files from home?</a></dt>
<dd>There are a couple of ways you can access your SUCS files from home. One of the easiest ways is to use a system called WebDAV. This allows you to access your files as though you were looking through folders on your own computer. Check out the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20WebDAV">WebDAV</a> page of the help wiki for more information. You can also log into your SUCS account using SSH, which allows you to access your files from a command line. This is somewhat more technical, but it's a good thing to know how to do. Visit the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Logging%20in%20remotely">remote login page</a> on the help wiki for more information.</dd>
<dt><a id="s_s4">Where is my web space?</a></dt>
<dd>Your public_html folder in your home directory is where you can put files for online viewing. You can also see them at this address: <a href="/~username">http://www.sucs.org/~username</a></dd>
<dt><a id="s_s5">How can I make a website?</a></dt>
<dd>If you are new to HTML and CSS then <a href="http://w3schools.com/" target="_blank">W3Schools</a> has a lot of tutorials that would be useful. Anything you want to be viewed online should be stored in your public_html folder. You can access this on the SUCS machines and using a program such as WinSCP or webDAV. Details of how to set up your public_html folder and write your first web page are available in the <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20your%20web%20space">Using your web space</a> walkthrough. </dd>

<dl>
<dt><a id="mil1">How do I use Milliways?</a></dt>
<dd>The How To for Milliways is <a href="Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20Milliways">here</a> or you can use the web based version of the talker, available at <a href="{$baseurl}/mw">http://sucs.org/mw</a><br />Note that the web talker only supports a few basic commands, not the full feature set supported by the main client.<br /></dd>
<dt><a id="mil2">How do I get colours and other Milliways scripts?</a></dt>

<dt><a id="mil3">I'm using Putty I keep pasting when I right click, how can I fix this?</a></dt>
<dd>Open Putty and go to the Selection category under Window. You need to change the 'Control use of mouse' to 'Middle extends, Right brings up menu'. This way you still copy something from Milliways buy selecting it only. It is best to create a saved session for Milliways if you have not already, to save you doing this each time you log in.</dd>

<p>Milliways has existed for a very long time and its regular users include members both past and present, as such there is a sense of community, and like any community a number of rules of etiquette have formed over the years.</p><p>The denizens of Milliways are usually polite and helpful to strangers and newcomers, but do expect those that wish to hang around to familiarise themselves with <em>&quot;the way things are&quot;</em> and play nice.&nbsp; As with most communities, newcomers need to show respect for the existing members and not expect the community to immediately adapt to accommodate them. </p><p>So the following is an attempt to describe some of the more usual pitfalls that a new user may come across.&nbsp;<br /></p><p><strong>Nothing Personal</strong></p><p>Milliways is a relaxed and informal environment, and as such there is often a lot of joking and messing around, a part of this that a newcomer may find difficult at first is the way that users will often ridicule and criticise each other, themselves, and anything else that catches their attention. If you happen to become the target of such comments then do not take it as a personal attack, it usually isn&#39;t.</p><p><strong>Spelling</strong> &nbsp;</p><p>Users are expected to express themselves using full and valid English sentences and words, the use of &quot;txt spk&quot; is not tolerated, and any bad spellings, abbreviations, and general bad use of English will typically result in corrections being offered, or scorn poured upon, as appropriate.&nbsp; Not only does proper use of English allow you to make yourself better understood, but it is good practice in preparation for the Real World (and &quot;txt spk&quot; really isn&#39;t any quicker than real English if you are practiced).<br /></p><p><strong>Meta-Questions</strong> aka Ask or Ask Not, there is no &quot;May I&quot;&nbsp;</p><p>If you have a question or something that you require help on, just come straight out and ask it, be as specific as you can, no asking &quot;can I ask a question?&quot;. Ask the actual question and anybody that is able and willing to help will do so, if you get no answer its because nobody can help you.&nbsp; Don&#39;t repeatedly ask the same question if no one is replying - if someone was able to help they would do, asking them over and over will just annoy and reduce the chance of someone helping in future.</p><p>Don&#39;t assume people know exactly what you are talking about just because your question is obvious in the context of your specific course.&nbsp; For example, a programming question like &quot;how do I do $foo&quot; is less helpful than &quot;how do I do $foo in $language&quot;.&nbsp; The former is likely to get you answers covering C, Python, Haskell, etc. rather than the language you are interested in.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Flooding the Channel&nbsp;</strong></p><p>If you have anything that you wish to share with the world (for criticism generally ;) that is more than a line or two of text then you should make use of the SUCS website utilities of&nbsp; <a href="http://sucs.org/Tools/ShortURI" title="ShortURI" target="_blank">ShortURI </a> and <a href="http://sucs.org/Tools/PasteBin" target="_blank">PasteBin</a> as appropriate, and just paste the resulting url instead. this saves cluttering up the screens of all of the users. In the case of questions on items of coursework it would be a good idea only to paste the section around the actual problem, not your entire answer, as anybody can see the result.</p><p><strong>Further Reading</strong></p><p>Eric Raymond maintains quite a good (but long) document on how to ask questions in a technical forum.&nbsp; It is worth a read if you have time: <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html</a></p>

Milliways regulars include society members from both past and present, and some
who just like to use Milliways but have never been part of the society. There
is a unique sense of community, and you will often find passionate debate on
all sorts of subjects from programming to politics, plus the odd pun.
</p>
<p>
It can be a little daunting when first joining Milliways as the community is so
well established, but stick around and get to know how things work and you'll
soon find out how to get the most out of Milliways. If you find any way
that Milliways can be improved, let us know. Milliways is an open source
project developed by SUCS members since 1992 and it changes regularly!
</p>
<p>
Below are a few guidelines that every user should follow so that Milliways can
be a place where people want to hang out and tell their friends about.
</p>
<p>
<strong>You're Talking To Humans</strong>
</p>
<p>
It's important to keep in mind that there are real people behind the usernames
and that they all have their own backgrounds and experiences, and perhaps some
of them are even having a bad day. Use good judgement as to your familiarity
with other users and the power dynamic between you before choosing your words,
especially when using light hearted banter.
</p>
<strong>Asking Questions</strong>
</p>
<p>
It is tempting to ask if you can ask a question on Milliways, or if anyone is
around who knows about a certain subject, but if you have a question or
something that you require help with, the best thing to do is to ask that
question straight away. Provide as much context as you can. You may have to
wait for an answer outside of busy hours and if you do not get an answer it can
be useful to other users to report back when you've found the answer elsewhere.
If the question is likely to be answered with a quick web search, try that
first to save time. Note that students asking for coursework solutions will
likely encounter silence but asking very specific questions to help you
understand the concepts you need is highly encouraged.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Answering Questions</strong>
</p>
<p>
Particularly with newcomers, it's important to appreciate that asking a
question may be a difficult thing to do. We were all new students and new to
Milliways at one point. If you think the answer is obvious or simple, it's best
to keep that to yourself to avoid belittling the asker. Not everybody has the
same knowledge in their head.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Don't Flood the Talker</strong>
</p>
<p>
If you have anything that you wish to share on Milliways that is more than a
line or two of text then you should make use of a pastebin, such as the <a
href="http://sucs.org/Tools/PasteBin" target="_blank">SUCS PasteBin</a> and
there is also a <a href="http://sucs.org/Tools/ShortURI" title="ShortURI"
target="_blank">SUCS URI shortener</a> for posting very long links without
flooding, although many long URIs can be shortened greatly just by trimming the
ad tracking elements from them.

<p>We have put together a set of tools to make it easier to access SUCS services from your own computer. Note that you don't have to use the SUCS Tools to use our services - they're just a time-saving way to do so. The tools consist of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/Tools/Desktop%20on%20Demand">Desktop on Demand (VNC)</a></li>
<li><a href="/Community/Milliways">Milliways chat rooms</a></li>
<li><a href="/Knowledge/Help/SUCS%20Services/Logging%20in%20remotely">SUCS remote shell (SSH)</a></li>
<li><a href="/">SUCS Website</a></li>
<li><a href="/Knowledge/Help/SUCS%20Services/Accessing%20your%20email">Your Email</a></li>
<li><a href="/Knowledge/Help/SUCS%20Services/Using%20WebDAV">Your Files (WebDAV)</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For more information about the services, click on the links.</p>
<h2>Downloading and installing the tools</h2>
<p>There are two versions of the tools. Which one you need depends on which operating system you use - <a href="#windows">Windows</a> or <a href="#macosx">Mac OS X</a>. If you use Linux, you probably already have an SSH and a VNC client installed and so don't need the SUCS Tools.</p>
<a name="windows"></a>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<ol>
<li><a href="/files/sucstools-latest.exe">Download SUCS Tools for Windows</a></li>
<li>Once the file has downloaded, double-click on it to start installing the SUCS Tools. A dialog box might appear telling you that "the publisher could not be verified." This is because we haven't paid for a digital certificate to sign the file with. Click "Run" to start the installation.</li>
<li>Follow the instructions provided by the installer.</li>
</ol>
<p>When the installation has completed, you can access the SUCS Tools via Start > All Programs > SUCS Tools.</p>
<a name="macosx"></a>
<h3>Mac OS X</h3>
<ol>
<li><a href="/files/SUCS-latest.dmg">Download SUCS Tools for Mac OS X</a></li>
<li>Once the file has downloaded, it might automatically open (it depends which browser you use). If it doesn't, double click on the file to mount the disk image.</li>
<li>Drag the SUCS folder to the Applications shortcut to install the tools.</li>
</ol>
<p>When the files have finished copying, you will find the SUCS Tools in your Applications folder.</p>
