Meeting Topic Idea - MythTV

by joel d

WLUG'ers, I have a meeting topic idea but very little knowledge of the proposed topic, MythTV. I have a DVR through my cable provider, Charter, but am unhappy with it's features and capacity. I am ready to buy a capture card, re-dedicate some PC hardware and commit to building a Myth box. I know this was covered back in 2003 by Tim Keller, but my lack of recall has me missing details of his excellent presentation. Any others think this is a good idea for a meeting topic? If so, would anyone indulge by presenting Myth with their knowledge, hardware info (PC spec and video spec) and setup & install details? Joel

Reminder! Virtual Meeting Tonight!! 7PM via Jitsi!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting tonight at 7PM! Location: Our usual Jitsu haunt: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: I think the Itanium thing got beat to death, but we can still talk about it. Apparently there's still a pa-risc port of linux kicking around? Now I want to run it as a VM! Daryl McBride (SCO asshole) just fired for Chapter 13 so we can laugh at his expense. I'm sure there'll be some 3d printer talk, some Pi PICO chatter, plus whatever else. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

REMINDER: Upcoming Meeting Thurs Jan 7, 2007

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, This is your monthly reminder (hand generated) regarding our upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, January 7th, 2007, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid Room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. Many of you have suggested some good topics in our recent email threads. I propose that this meeting be a round table discussion of those and any other topics of interest. I'll bring my new laptop for discussion as well. It is a Linux Certified LC2464T running Kubuntu. However, I hope somebody has a DVI-SVGA adapter which I can borrow for the meeting, since I don't yet have one. Since this is my first experience with a Debian type of distribution, I could offer my first impressions. More info here: http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lc2464t.html If the discussion runs dry, ask me if I passed my Amateur Radio technician exam (which I'm taking on Wednesday). I'm curious to see what I can do with this and Linux. I can also give an update on the kernel device driver that I'm writing for the Delcom USB I/O demo board. I am planning to do a full presentation on this sometime soon, after I get more stuff working. A couple of simple features are working right now. Perhaps I'll do this for either the February or March meeting. More info here: http://www.delcom-eng.com/productdetails.asp?productnum=802004 As always, we'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza Restaurant on Highland Street for some discussion afterwards. All are welcome to attend! See ya later, and Happy New Year!

I will definitely try to make May's meeting. I have been working on various X-nix based systems since 1999 (Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Red-Hat, and now CRUX). I do a lot in Perl, MySQL, Nagios, BASH, and Apache. Interests...varies depending on what I am doing at any given time. I would like to learn more about IPC programming and multi-process threading in X-nix. I like getting my hands dirty working with hardware.

Next Meeting moved to July 18th 2019

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, I'm moving the meeting down a week since I'll be on vacation next week. The meeting will be on July 18th. I'd love to do a comparison of a pi 4 vs. a pi 3, but buying a 4GB pi 4 is a bit challenging... If someone already has one and could bring it, that would be awesome, if not we'll have to think of a different topic. Yeah, I know you can buy a 1GB/2GB pi 4... but really why would you do that. Thanks, Tim. WLUG President -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hurray, Hurray, for the eighth of May!

by Keith Wright

I just checked http://www.wlug.org/ and saw: > WLUG's Upcoming Meeting > Date/Time: Thursday, April 10 > Location: WPI Campus Center, Mid-Century Room 331 I nevertheless assert, on information and belief, that the next meeting is TODAY, the eighth of May. I expect to be there. It might be worth reminding the list (as hereby done), since there has been so much other list traffic since the information that led to my belief was transmitted: Kevin Harrington NR <kharrington(a)neuronrobotics.com> writes: > > I will be introducing OpenSCAD, a DSL for CAD modeling. > Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 18:43:00 -0400 > From: Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> > Subject: [Wlug] May meeting?
