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

Re: [Wlug] Ideas for Sept Meeting?
by JeffA Maillists
How about another BBQ, since I missed the last one, LOL! (J/K)
The topic of 'kids-oriented programming, circuits and robotics' sounds good
to me. ;-)
Somewhere in my house I have an old R/C tank that my Dad gave to my son
when he was 5. And then when he was just 6 years old, my Dad passed, so the
tank became even more valueable to Joe. But somewhere along the line, it
died (electronically, probably due to Joe playing with it in the snow,
LOL!), so I started to convert it to use an Arduino to control it, and
intended to intended to use Bluetooth modules to communicate between the
Arduino controlling the motors and the Arduino reading the controls on the
remote. But, alas, like many of the projects that I start, I got
side-tracked by life and never got back to it...
But I could probably find it and 'ressurect' the project in time for the
meeting and do a little 'show-and-tell' about it. Heck, maybe I can use
it to get my son (who's now 24) into programming and electroncis... ;-)

I don't have anything to contribute, but I'd love to hear what others are
doing in this area.

And the boy scouts (Troop 227 in Shrewsbury) which my son goes to are
also looking to expand into more STEM oriented programs, so I'd be
interested in this as well.

It would be good. Even if just arduino and other stuff.

Ideas for Sept Meeting?
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang!
I know kids are going back to school, etc and the summer is winding down...
but WLUG isn't!
So in that vein, I know many of us have STEAM/STEM oriented kids.
I was wondering how interested people would be in doing a round table /
demo regarding:
Kids oriented programming, circuits, robotics, etc.
Thanks,
Tim.

by thinkbrown＠gmail.com
Sorry I wasn't able to attend. Duty called.
I also won't be there for the Sept. or Oct. meetings as I will be in
Switzerland on IQP (one of the main WPI projects).
See you all in November,
Logan
