I'm moving to UEA to start studying there on Saturday. Where I am at the moment, St. Albans in Hertfordshire there isn't an active LUG that I could find so it'll be great to meet everyone.
Me stepfather came from Snorbens innit, and I attended his weeding to my mother in the Abbey in 1944. I'm afraid I escaped and spent much of the service beneath the pews, much to the amusement of Canon Cuthbert Thycknesse...
I'll do my best to round up some Linux using UEA students, see if maybe I can get a Linux Society started - if not that then at least a computer society of some kind. Anyways, I look forward to meeting everyone!
Hmmm. UEA has been there long enough for pooter societies to have blossomed, withered and reseeded, so I'd tend to rein-in the enthusiasm a bit until you've ascertained exactly what is established there...
