Looking for a home - 2 sparc classics

by stoffel＠lucent.com

Hi guys, I'm cleaning the garage and I want to get rid of stuff. I've got a pair of sparc classics, probably installed with Linux, plus about 8 or so brand new sun keyboards, somce mice and maybe other stuff. First one to email gets it all. I can try to bring it to the next meeting, or we can arrange a pickup off list. John stoffel(a)lucent.com john(a)stoffel.org

Doug and I were trying to figure where to project and onto what, and we do have some ideas in mind (generated fog, multiple sprinklers, side of house, bed sheets, et al.). In fact, I think we should use the projector regardless of how many attend - it will be easier for all to see. However, I doubt either of us would mention this to his wife, so buying a 60"+ HDTV, for example, is not entirely ruled out! ;-) If there are any unforeseen issues, my place would be backup, and there is high-speed Internet at both locations, so that shouldn't be an issue (But Doug has a pool!). Given the appropriate technology, like building on the wireless stuff we did this week, it shouldn't matter where the meeting is held (distractions like food and drink aside!). Steve

Re: [Wlug] Question about WLUG BBQ

Andy, Did you guys set up WEP? I know it's "encryption-lite" but right now I've only my wlan setup with mac address locking only because I can't get wep to work at all. I actually had less trouble setting up wireless in linux than in windows! Speaking of "target practice," did any of you see that iMAC ad on e-reviews? The guy was at a target range, discussing the first iMAC and after saying how each feature was "not enough" he aimed and shot at it! Having dealt with first revision iMACS, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!

HI Wes, I have 3 kids...I know what you mean, and one of them is only 7 weeks old. The others are 6 yrs and 4 yrs.

Re: [Wlug] Question about WLUG BBQ

I know I should just go to the site, but how was the last meeting? I was hoping to make this my first meeting but I ended up in a medical clinic with my 11 week old son instead (a 102.5 fever is NOT GOOD). He's doing well; I'm not. I'd like to come out, but I'd feel REALLY stupid coming to a BBQ for my first time; talk about bush league!

Question about WLUG BBQ

by Andy Stewart

Hi WLUG, We had a suggestion last night over a few beers that perhaps we could conduct our next Linux meeting in Shrewsbury over a few BBQd burgers, dogs, etc. What do people think of that idea? If this idea is accepted by enough folks, it would be held on the same day and time as our next regularly scheduled meeting. What do folks think of this proposal?
