HI all, I had totally forgotten about the meeting, but indeed, we do have a meeting on Thursday, December 18th, at 7:00 PM. We do not yet have a speaker for the meeting. Please note that I have posted the meeting schedule for the year 2009. I've been quite busy lately. My house was without commercial power for 85 hours due to the ice storm. Commercial power was restored today at 1:00 PM and got the computers back up around 3:00 PM. I was babysitting two small generators which needed fueling at 4-6 hour intervals. Thankfully, I had heat for all but the first 24 hours, and the refrigerator and a couple of lights were powered. My house was down to 47 degrees at one point, except for the room with the fireplace, which was a comfortable 65 degrees. I am now starting to get back to normal. The kids watched DVDs on the laptop, LED flashlights are very low power, and the gas grill was used a lot. Unfortunately, I had no hot water, but the 80 gallon water tank is well insulated, so I didn't have to take stone cold showers, just cool ones, military style. I lost many, many branches in the trees, which were strewn across the yard. Thankfully, the house was not damaged. See you all on Thursday evening! Ask me over pizza about the lightning that I saw during the storm...which wasn't lightning.

Same boat, except sans generators and hot water. I'm trying to burn a cd for work tonight with our pictures so I'll have to share with you. FYI, the website says Wednesday but I presume that you're over-riding it?
Andy, Sorry it was such a rough go; glad you're back up again now. Please clarify. Is the meeting Wednesday, or Thursday?? TY Liz J On 15/12/2008, Andy Stewart <andystewart@comcast.net> wrote:

HI all, The website has been corrected...the meeting is Thursday, December 18th. The home page is correct, the "Meetings" page was incorrect. Thanks for letting me know. Maybe the topic should be about the use of Linux in power failures? Hummm, maybe not........ Later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJRxNoHl0iXDssISsRAmz+AJ92XC3p/vxZSLxndeuLGP3Xr31bqwCfa0rn K5fMj5wDlPPsIbbzGMuy5Aw= =WWIp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
We already did a talk about how to save power in linux with powertop etc, I think... it was a good one. See you all Thursday! Eric Andy Stewart wrote:

How about this one: http://www.manlug.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=5&Ite...
I would sometime like to discuss sound "issues" on laptops occurring in various recent distros, which may feed into Andy's distro question of several weeks ago. The sound "issues" question might be like discussing various hallucinogenically-produced nightmares that have been induced in non-volunteers by the distro-gods, but it might be nice to air in a forum what has been happening, and what solutions may have been found.
