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. Thanks, -Jamie

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!

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.

I'll be bringing my Pi A+ plus my cobbler and some circuit stuff. Jamie, because of the snow parking will be a creative exercise... the lot that's on the corner of Institute and the road that goes down to tech pizza is always open. Keith: Rest up and recuperate!

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. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
