Why does one message say From: cra(a)wpi.edu,
and the other From: wlug(a)lists.wlug.org?
(Nervermind, CRA explained that.)
I don't want to try to prevent anyone from talking
about anything, but I don't have much to say about that.
I would have wrote you a letter, but I couldn't spell PHLTT!!
If Frank does not have a presentation, I could commit
by Thursday to make some slides and bring a laptop.
I tested slide-showing a few months ago with the WPI
cable in the Mid-century Room and it worked.
Here's the catch: My usual ride is unavailable that
day. I don't drive and I have not been walking well.
I used to walk to WLUG; I fell on the hill.
No problem; I got up and went on; it happens.
I don't want to be carrying heavy and fragile equipment.
I tried to go for a walk this morning, but fell and skinned
my knee at the end of my own driveway.
If someone could commit to pick me up at my house
about 1/2 hour before the meeting I would make sure
I was ready enough to fake it. I live about a mile
from WPI. Send me mail.
I will show you some of what I have been doing,
and how I do it.
The title of my talk:
Love Programs work better than Love Poems
Computatational Metaphysics
Why and how to write soutce code that can be read
Or something else if I thnk of it.
Someone said recently that one of the best talks
ever was Doug Waud showing TeX printing stuff nobody
understood. I thought: "I could do that".
I am not a pharmacist, so I will dazzle you with
Scheme programs and Algebraic Geometry run through LaTeX.
All in living black and white (or glowing green).

There might be something wrong, I saw:

I missed that meeting, and I think the one before that,
due to scheduling conflicts.
You might find these two in the tl/dr filrer:

If you want 140 character dim witticisms,
you know where to look. This not that.
The message that demands attention is this:

> We've got a meeting coming up next week!

C.R.A continues:

Yes. If you did not see Tim's announcement of the same,
then something is wrong.
Which leads me to my proposal, which I will put in another
message so that it is not lost at the bottom.

PS: While I was writing this, two new messages came to me
from wlug, one appears to be a copy of Doug Mildram's message
dated 2018-12-09 the other a reply to that.

Reminder! WLUG Meeting NEXT week! Nov. 8th, 2018! NOTE: LOCATION CHANGE!
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang!
We've got a meeting next week!
Date and Time: Nov. 8th, 2018 @ 7pm
Location: *Stratton Hall Room 309*
Topic: GNURadio / Software Defined Radio / GQRX
Presenter: Ian Gelman
Here's what Ian had to say about his presentation...
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring and give an overview+demo of GNURadio,
a FOSS package for graphically developing DSP applications and interfacing
with Software-Defined Radios (SDR). I spent last summer at MITRE using this
software heavily, and I'm also using it for my MQP work. For the demo, I'd
like to bring down some hardware from my lab (
https://www.ettus.com/product/details/UN210-KIT) as well as the $20 RTL-SDR
dongle (
http://www.nooelec.com/store/sdr/sdr-receivers/nesdr-mini-rtl2832-r820t.html)
to show reception of broadcast FM, ADS-B telemetry from airplanes, as well
as some real time views of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and streaming drone footage
from a DJI Phantom 3 Pro.
Here's the outline:
What's SDR?
Why should we care?
Why do I care?
Who uses GNURadio?
GNURadio fundamentals
Introducing the workflow/flowgraph interface
Cloning/Building/Installing (this won't be specific, just mentioning
the GitHub repo and where the quickstart guide is)
How to contribute (also GR-hackfest!)
GNURadio as a software development framework
Ex: GQRX (http://gqrx.dk)
For the demo, I'll show off some stuff I've made with GNURadio, as well as
GQRX to interface with the RTL-SDR. I'm pretty confident that I can cram it
inside of 2 hours, because I'll be basically recycling the slides I made
for my MITRE presentation, minus the branding and project-specific content.
As usual, drinks and snacks will be provided and we'll head out to dinner
afterwards.
NOTE: I will be unable to attend this meeting.
Thanks,
Tim.

Eagle to KiCad conversion?
by John Stoffel
Guys,
This is a total shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone here has
taken an Eagle project design, stripped out pretty much everything but
the holes and outline of a board, and them imported it all into KiCad
5?
I'm trying to build a cape for an AdaFruit Gemma M0 board (which I'll
be happy to talk about at some point down the line at a meeting) where
it auto-matically turns my sound bar on/off and the TV is turned
on/off. Not more having to hunt for the sound bar remote!
I've been vaguely beating my head against the wall here, esp since
it's my first ever board design. Lots to learn!

Reminder! Meeting Tomorrow! Sept. 13th, 2018 @7pm.
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
This is a reminder we've got a meeting on Thursday Sept. 13th, 2018.
Time: 7pm
Location: WPI Campus Center Mid Century Rm (rm 331) "The usual spot"
Topic: git LFS (Large File Support) I thought I would give a quick talk
using git as a backup solution for larger files. After that I figured the
conversation would branch out.
I'd also like to poll the group and see what people would be interested in
for topics.
As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off to
dinner afterwards to continue the conversation.
Thanks,
Tim.
