Not received any ALUG mail since the 8th... Either something's borked or it's been _really_ quiet around here lately.
It's been really quiet. I've been really busy myself, what with trying to organise my own wedding as well as trying to sell a house, and balancing lots of other things in between.
Assuming people can read this message, can we have a stab at discussing the next (physical) meeting of the group? Third Sunday in November perhaps?
It would be a good idea. I have just been sent a huge parcel from SuSE containing the Professional edition of SuSE Linux 7.0 and it's a whopper. Contains loads of manuals, 6 CDs and 1 DVD ROM, some stickers, a Tux button (a proper clothes button - not the kind you stick on your PC) and lots of other stuff.
I'd quite like to bring it along to the next meeting for all to see and use :)
I've been quiet because I've been persuading the alug list to be a newsgroup, which now works very nicely indeed :-)
Well, that and my ISP going wobbly. And the fact that I am *still* waiting for my Debian potato CDs, argh. Still, I got to do a whois on the site (tree.uk.com) to find the owner, and ring him at home. He was, er, somewhat shocked. I got the impression that he was about 18. I was rather snotty with him, considering that they cashed my cheque about three weeks ago and I still have no CDs, so that should help. The website has no contact details at all, apart from webmaster@tree.uk.com, and mails to there seemed to be ignored. People: do not buy stuff from them.
And I *still* haven't looked at the alug website to see if I can help; given that site construction is what I do both at work and in my spare time (freelance work, loads of money, yay), I might be able to lend a hand...
...assuming that I can do CGIs in Python ;-)
Are we still thinking about talks at meetings? I'd be interested in seeing what the next one is...
Aq -- not that I'll make it, of course, because I'm useless
