Is there going to be a presentation accompanying this talk? I might not be able to go, but I'm very interested in the topic.

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.

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!
