I was at UEA today, in Union House, in the correct room, at 2:20pm. However, no-one else was around. In fact, there was no indication that the ALUG meeting was ever going to happen, i.e. no signs, no notices in the room, etc.
What happened? I waited a few minutes, assumed the meeting had been cancelled and went back home.
Is this the start of the Cambridge CLUG experience, i.e. the meeting is at this specific venue, but you have to 'use the force' to find the other members!

I didn't bother turning up. Hell, it was a beautiful day (and still is.. the sunset is great to watch) today and it was worth popping out to the beach ;)
Strange that no-one was there.... sure you got the right place?

An almighty DOH from me and I think James should also send his apologies. ;-) As those who were on IRC at the right time last week, or who tried getting to the UEA meeting last time, know, UEA meetings are currently starting at 3pm. For some reason, that was missing from the email announcement. Ooops.
So, red face here and many apologies to you. A small group of us did find the room and spent a little while discussing a mix of topics, including describing Remote Procedure Calls (rpcinfo -p is your friend), Network File Systems (NFS) and Network Information System (NIS). I also *think* we managed to improve the machine that James brought along a bit... at least, it boots now. Not sure if the CMOS battery has failed, though.
Next meeting is pencilled in for 2pm on Sunday 27 April at Elmswell. Talks still TBC, but likely to be a Samba intro talk and an IPv6 HOWTO talk.
