Tonight's meeting

by Jon "maddog" Hall

Hello, I am the speaker for tonight's meeting. Even though the weather has been bad for three days, it seems to be clearing for tonight, and I just wanted to make sure that there would be a meeting tonight. The topics for tonight are two: Title: GNU/Linux Performance: We are not in 1969 (or even 1984) anymore Abstract: Performance in software is not just how fast it executes in wall clock time, but how efficient it is in memory and CPU cycles. It determines battery life, how "green" a solution can be, and even if a particular solution is fast enough for "real time". This talk will examine these areas, show progress of software and hardware over time, demonstrate someHello, I am the speaker for tonight's meeting.

Project Caua will show you how to make enough money in your spare time so you can afford to go to university.

Not again! You have now apologized four or five times, but just two of those times included the date. Once Wednesday, once Thursday. I was not being sarcastic; I wanted to know the answer. Since you quoted James, who said Thursday, and did not correct that, I'm going with Thursday. If that's wrong, sorry I will miss it.

Hi Keith, I had figured you were being sarcastic in your prior e-mail. I'm not entirely sure you aren't now. I concluded that the meeting was on Thursday. At one point Tim indicated Wednesday, but corrected himself that it was Thursday in another email. Chuck also indicated Thursday in the most recent email, so the question seemed settled to me. I find email subject lines to be often misleading just like the titles of news articles. Subject lines always seem to get out of date as the conversion evolves. thanks!
