I enjoyed the meeting, but I had to leave quickly too. My spouse was
calling on another line, and I think most of us can understand and forgive
the situation.

No worries!
We wrapped up the meeting by ~930, finished by Maddog regaling us with
tails of IBM!
I hope to soon hear from the Technopia people and then we can decide what
we want to do.
Later,
Tim.

Sorry I left the meeting so abruptly.
I am not sure if I pushed the wrong button,
or if one of the ten-thousand loose connections
that we call internet service, jiggled.
Suddenly I was not connected.
At that point reality shook me and said:
That's enough anyway!
It did not seem worth the time to log back on

Hey Everybody,
We've got a WLUG meeting tomorrow June 10th, 2021 at 7pm.
This will be a totally virtual meeting, but hopefully our last!!
Topic: I thought I'd give a quick update on my CNC machine and my quest to
have a full FOSS toolchain.. what's worked, what hasn't, etc. I expect
that'll only take a couple of minutes and then we'll move on to our usual
banter!
Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.

I expect to be there (here).

I'm from Minnesota, so to me UMN means University of MN,
what does that have to do with Linux? It must be some
variant of Universal Markup. So I did what we do, ask
google. UMN is University of MN; try again. "UMN Debacle"
is some drug test done at UMN that went bad, needs someone
to blame.
Eventually I find that UMN also got some bad code into the
Linux update stream and had their write permissions revoked.
I had heard on the radio that something like that had happened,
but didn't remeber where it came from, and the radio news
readers/reporters clearly didn't know what they were talking
about anyway.
Next!

No time to look that up. I'll have to fake it.

Oh good. We are finally going to have a discussion
of use of Scheme macros based on linear logic to
produce provably correct concurrent programs.
I am getting ready by re-reading the proof of
the Myhill-Shepherdson theorem.
> I'd also like to talk about meeting in person.
Why would I do that?
There are some people I am eager to meet in person,
because I want to feel them up. None of those people
are WLUG members (sorry if that hurts your feelings,
but it's best to be honest).
I am vaccinated, but I am also on immuno-supressor
drugs, haven't driven for 15 years, and haven't been
in the same room as some of those people alluded
to above for 15 months.
It's too soon for me. Go ahead and meet downtown if
you wish; I doubt I will be there for a while.
I hope the video-chat meetings go on for a while concurrently
(with a provably correct procedure, of course!).

This is a reminder that we've got a meeting today at 7pm!
In the usual location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
Topics tonight will likely include the UMN debacle, the encoder/decoder
vulnerability stuff, probably some other Linux related stuff!
I'd also like to talk about meeting in person. If it's something that
people are down for (I know Maddog is!) I'll reach out to Technopia and see
what their rules are.
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi All,
I also get my second shot Tuesday. Go team Phyz!
I can do remote meeting this week.
Can do either Jitsi or in person in June and beyond.

Dang, won't make it because I'm travelling for work. Half vaccinated
too. I get the second after I get back, yay!

And I wish I had more to talk about zeek too. It was interesting
getting it installed, but I recently rebuilt that box to run the
TP-Link Omada software on a dedicated box. I'm annoyed that they're
Java web app is so damn far behind in terms of OS support.
But having a tool to summarize zeek stuff better would be nice. The
daily report was interesting, but not really what I wanted, but I'm
not sure what I want. Something simple and ASCII, but focused. Lots
to talk about there, but maybe leave that to another meeting.

I've been meaning/wanting to visit Technopia and to even join so as to
have a place to go where I can be around other motivated people and
work on my Phd (Projects Half Done) stuff. Plus there's good places
around there for food afterwards.
Heck, in another year or so it might be fun to do a wlug woo-sox game
meeting.
Tim,
For what it is worth I got my second Pfizer shot February 27th. On March
11th I flew to Miami, Florida for an IPO of Digital Ocean (a friend of mine
is a founder), directly into the middle of maskless College idiots doing
spring break (I wore a mask and practiced social distancing as well as
getting my first two tests for COVID). Two weeks later I flew to Rio de
Janeiro for a month (business meetings and to see my husband for the first
time in a year). I feel safe in going to indoor restaurants (I still wear
my mask when not actively eating and drinking.
I trust in medicine, science and statistics, and I feel like Superman.
So I would support in-person meetings for vaccinated people, particularly
if masks are used.

Hey Gang!
We've got a meeting on May 13th!
For topics, there's a whole lot to talk about! Obviously the UMN stuff, as
well as the x86 decoder fun.
I think it's worth revisiting having in person meetings.. At some point
here in the near future a majority of us are going to be vaccinated. I'll
reach out to Kevin (if he's not already reading this!) and see what
Technopia's policies are going to be. Whatever we do, I think we've all
agreed it makes sense to keep the virtual component going as well. To that
point, I'll be getting my second shot on Tuesday so I might be not feeling
great, we'll see.
What do people think?
Later,
Tim.
