Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

The cryptoparty is this Sunday 3/22 from 2pm - 4pm, and we plan to
cover Jitsi and GnuPG. The WPL is located at 3 Salem Street,
Worcester, and we'll be meeting in the Banx room.
Hope to see you Sunday.

Great meeting last night!
by Tim Keller
What a great meeting last night! Chuck did a great presentation showing
off several different model Pi's plus demoing their use as squeeze box
remote media players. He also started to show off the MAME and DVR/MythTV
stuff but we all got distracted. I think that could merit a meeting topic
all by itself!
We had a great show and tell of pi devices. The coolest being the homemade
pi based wifi enabled security camera (with infrared LEDs!)
To cap the night we ended doing a mini install fest on a "classic" Sony
Vaio!
Thanks everybody!
Tim.

Tim,
Do you have a link to that graphics package you were talking about?
The one where you just throw data at it and check it once in a while.

Keith, thank you for the directions. The guy at the
information booth was aware of the WLUG meeting.

The West Street lot was wide open. I didn't bother to get
a pass from security, but I doubt they care much at that hour.
I enjoyed seeing all the Raspbery Pi projects. I'll try
and make it to some more meetings this year.
Best,

I haven't been to a WLUG meeting in ages. Is it still in the same
building in the southwest corner of the quad? The floorplan link is
dead,
http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/CC/Floorplans/37678.htm
Is there parking available in the West Street lot?
Will there be WiFi and/or ethernet available for the Pis? Keyboard?
HDMI monitor?

REMINDER!! Meeting TONIGHT! March 12th, 2015!
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
This is a reminder that tonight is WLUG!
We'll be talking about the Raspberry Pi like devices that are now on the
market and the amazing stuff we can do with them.
Chuck is going to bring along a Pi like device to show off how open
hardware helps speed along the innovation curve!
We'll be meeting in the usual spot, the Mid-Century Room (rm-331) at 7pm.
I'll bring along snacks and drinks and afterwards we'll go out for pizza!
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.
