This is the automated ALUG IRC meeting reminder sent to remind you that there is an IRC meeting tonight (Monday) at 8.00pm.
The meeting takes place on the irc server irc.alug.org.uk in the #alug channel.
Most IRC clients should allow you to get there with the commands "/server irc.alug.org.uk" and "/join #alug".
Popular IRC clients include tkirc, bitchx, xchat and EPIC on Unix, and Mirc under windows. Here are some links to help you get started with irc.

Thanks to Noodles for the helpful pointer to gatos for TV out (also on the list, I see now). I'll have to try that.
It's a shame there wasn't a suitable pretty disk use tool, but I got a long way (half a gig freed up) by using "du -sk * | sort -n" in home and working on down the tree. Is there a good pattern (is this a glob?) which will cover all dot files but not . (current directory) and .. (parent dir) or is .??* as good as it gets?

There's no single glob, you have to use two. If there aren't (for instance) any .. files then this is a bit inconvenient, but that's probably survivable for command line use.

http://xdiskusage.sf.net/ - thanks, looks useful. I'm now trying to find a FLTK build for this system, or make one.
