Off-Topic, yet funny..

Visit http://www.pornolize.com and then try an URL like www.microsoft.com or www.slashdot.org. Be warned - the language will offend those that don't like that sort of thing (oo-er vicar!). Having just tried it on my own site (oo-er vicar!), I thought it actually improved the content Regards, Martyn

Has anyone ever heard of an SE30? It's a tiny old all-in-one mac, with monochrome display and a 40M hard drive. My bro' is interested in installing linux on it. Then using to send/ receive mail. Possible? (Using an external modem, I suppose) Jen.

Mailman Upgrade on the 14th (tomorrow)
by Martyn Drake 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hi, Just a quick note to let everybody know that Mailman (the list server software that powers ALUG) will be upgraded tomorrow morning. This will result in some downtime while I perform a backup, upgrade the existing installation, and perform a few tests of the upgraded Mailman. This should not result in a downtime longer than 10 minutes. Upgrade is due to take place around 10am and finish around 10:10. I would be grateful if nobody could post anything to the list, or use the web interface during this time. Many thanks, Martyn Drake ALUG Systems Admin -- Email : martyn(a)drake.org.uk Web : http://www.drake.org.uk Web : http://www.martyn-drake.info
