I'm in, but I don't think there would be much need for an IT Guy/Sys Admin like myself on a commune. ...

Heck, yeah - I mean, absolutely we'd need a sys admin. You do networks, too, right? Any self-respecting modern commune needs a network - how else are all our hardware gonna talk to each other? And who's going to keep our hardware running, eh? You'd be the most valuable guy there!

Ok. Let the search for a property begin. I say somewhere around....Sugar Land.

Haha, yes, networking too of course!

OK, I need to brush up on my terminology then is the problem. I thought a commune was one of those totally "off the grid" places where you grow your own food, build your own buildings, etc. If we'll still have Internet then I'm totally in!

We'd need an internal system and a direct link to GV, other than that we could be off the grid....

Easy! VMware View is one of my specialties so some low power zero-clients (dumb terminals) and tablets spread around the commune with a central server location and we're all set!

 

[badkolo]

now do we all share one computer that is locked up and we all have to share the internet time, hows this gonna work.

 

[dannoman]

But its way hot here July through September...all the Sugar gets sticky.

Oh gosh no! Virtual PC's (Windows 7/8 or Linux) running on centralized servers (VMware) and then used through tablets or Wyse terminals (VMware View).

 

[SuperLuckyLady]

.......you guys are making me laugh......

 

[hmlessalky]

We don't need the internet, just an intranet and access to the GV site so we can make sure you guys aren't holding out on us.....

 

[hmlessalky]

And yeah, can we pick someplace where it is fairly nice year round? I don't want to be fixing a/c units all summer long!

I am from Phoenix. You do not scare me off with the weather talk. Hot? Pfft.

We will need internet. We will need food. Some housing (with A/C ). Done. I cycle to most of my destinations now - easy, cheap transportation that is healthy for you and the environment.

I can ride right over to the GV shop and pick up my order.

HECK, no! A commune doesn't need to be low-tech. Depends on the purpose of the commune, I'd say. So we can be self-sustaining and Eco-sensitive, but since we can get our electricity from wind-mills and solar panels, that satisfies my conscience just fine. No need to go all-Luddite.

You will take my 'puter only out of my cold dead hand.

I definitely second that one. I don't do well in heat - way too much "personal insulation".

I don't mind growing my own food......but no network and internet....not happening. My biggest fear is the EMP...lol

 

[zippersnapper]

I've kinda grown fond of Interent, Cell Phones and GPS myself...

 

[hmlessalky]

Well then it seems a commune is out by the original concept, I guess instead we should just all get together and buy a subdivision and just help out our neighbors. All this fancy schmancy stuff costs money, which means we'd all have to work anyway! Maybe we should just found Vaperstown....

Definition commune; a small group of persons living together, sharing possessions, work, income, etc., and often pursuing unconventional lifestyles.

So if I get you right, we just need a few rich people?

Ah, so I was wrong on the definition of a commune then! Well so far I see no reason why I'm not all for it then!
