I'll likely be stopping on my way to the bbq, so I'll pick up a salad. Thanks, Tim.

I'll be there, though I'm coming straight from work so I doubt I can bring a salad.

Not required, but will be nice to hear from any folks planning to attend. Tim's bringing some of the food including soda/snacks; I'll have burgers and more ready early; I lack energy to make healthy stuff like a salad...can anyone? I DO have a spare/2nd fridge I'll be plugging in beforehand. Just based on gut and history, I'd expect 10-20 attendees. ===repeat pasting: The location is: 540 Linden St, Boylston MA. Time: At or before 7pm. Food: The usual {Cheese} Hamburgers / Hotdogs / Bratwurst's, Chips, dips, Soda. If you have any specific dietary needs, please let Doug and I know and we'll see what we can work out.

July 2, 2015

Longtime member Doug Mildram is graciously hosting the BBQ! The location is: 540 Linden St, Boylston MA. Time: At or before 7pm. Food: The usual {Cheese} Hamburgers / Hotdogs / Bratwurst's, Chips, dips, Soda. If you have any specific dietary needs, please let Doug and I know and we'll see what we can work out. Topics: As Doug said in his prior mail, BBQ's don't need a topic, but we'll likely be messing with FreeNAS, other ZFS stuff. We'll definitely take a crack at installing linux on Doug's lawnmower, chainsaw and or golden retrievers. Thanks, Tim. ---

Flat screen monitor 19" needs fixit; free to good home
by E Johnson June 28, 2015

June 28, 2015

The power went out here twice today. After the second event, monitor seems to have died. This is an Acer monitor, several years old. Black(ish) bezel; not glossy. Flat screen, I think 19" diagonal. Has been a very nice reliable monitor during its working life. Has choice of DVI input or the older kind of data connection, whatever that used to be. This specific batch of Acer monitors had used a type of capacitor which is known to have a higher-than-usual failure rate, and this is PROBABLY what it needs. Had a twin of this that fryolated same way 2 years ago, and a WLUG member came by & reported shortly after that he got it up & running with just the replacement of bad caps. This monitor has been very steady and reliable until this afternoon, with nice display and no dead pixels, ever. So if you are handy with electronics fixits, capacitors are cheap and you could probably get this working again with only a screwdriver, a soldering iron and a little bit of fiddling. Might be nice for the kid's playroom or the back office, or something. I don't know how nice games look on this monitor, since I don't do gaming. Videos always looked perfectly fine with good color. PM me if you think you want this, since I have to get down under the work table to unplug the power cord & I'm not as spry as I used to be, but can do as long as my knees aren't required to do anything radical before Noon. Pickup after Noon any day, & evenings even sort-of late-ish are okay. I can meet you at the door with this. I'm in Worcester near Elm Park. Rather give this away here than trash it, or Freecycle... first dibs to WLUG. Best wishes, Liz J

WLUG bbq thurs july9 7pm boylston MA
by Doug Mildram June 24, 2015

June 24, 2015

Announcing (with Tim's blessing/OK) our next meeting is the WLUG summer BBQ at my house ; 540 linden st, boylston ma. <= 20min from worc via 290, .....so many other ways to get here from north/190 ; east/495, etc. Thurs July 9 at or before 7pm. Food details later. BBQ's don't need a topic, but I would love to keep doing+learning a LITTLE with -- freeNAS : my own home server works enough to NOT wanna break it, but smbd isnt working yet ( want to share with win doze) -- other ZFS-able boxes (e.g. my junker/re-loadable PC has pc-bsd with issues, want it to catch ZFS snapshots over ssh for backups ..how hard could that be?) -- chainsaws, musical instruments, tricks+treats for golden retrievers and a cat (just kidding for the meeting, but now you know way too much about me) Maybe someone else wants to bring a tower/PC for abuse or argument e.g. loading something like the above top 2, then studying the result. Or not? What did I forget besides food? -doug also with wife's blessing, if I do all the work.
