??JGAAP.JAR???
by Colin Novick 27 Jan '15

Anyone here ever use JGAAP, the authorship Java JAR program? http://evllabs.com/jgaap/w/index.php/Main_Page It is returning errors, and sadly, I do not know enough to interpret the terminal lines to figure out why it keeps returning errors when you run the analysis, even if you try it in various ways. The program is clearly running but there is a catch. Anyone out there familiar with this? Thanks guys! Colin

The speaker for the February meeting has been lined up!
by Tim Keller 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hey Everybody, Great news! Andy will be speaking at the Feb. meeting! He's going to be doing a talk on Mesh networking. I figure this will "mesh" nicely with Frank's talk about 802.11*[nn]* networking. Once I get the official title for the talk I'll send out a more official reminder. On a different note... Is there anything that people are interested in that we could work on lining up speakers for? Here's a couple of ideas... * Software defined networking * Robotics * Home automation -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Have we come up with a way to split the pizza bill on credit cards or should I still plan on getting cash? Not a big deal, but I thought I'd ask. -- Rich

Tonight's meeting

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. If, for any reason, the meeting is canceled I would appreciate an email before 1500 today. Thanks, Jon "maddog" Hallnt it is in memory and CPU cycles.
