A coworker of mine went to ThotCon this weekend and came back with one of the badges. https://hackaday.io/project/21797-thotcon-0x8-badge I'll bring it along to show off. I'm also going to poke at it, but obviously not connected to anything I care about! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Gang, Speaking with Frank, next week is commencement week at WPI. Consequently ALL the rooms are booked. I'm pushing the meeting off a week to the 18th. Thanks, Tim.

So, are we decided on talking about Plex / Kodi? Is there enough there to turn into a whole meeting? Maybe we could do a Plex / RetroPi mashup meeting? Thanks, Tim.
