[Dorset] Introduction
Hi, I came along to the last meeting so it's probably about time I introduced myself on this list. I'm a software engineer working for Red Hat, mainly on areas to do with printing. I will try to come along to the Bournemouth meetings -- I live locally. I don't have a car so I'm unlikely to be able to make it to any that are further afield.

[Dorset] Introduction
Hi All, Having rejoined the list I figured I ought to say 'Hi'. I'll try and come down to one of the meetings if I can, spare giro funds permitting!!! (time I have plenty of at the mo'!). I'm no Linux guru but I am an ex 3rd line support Telecoms/Applications engineer so if you need any telco stuff answering I'll certainly try :). Do be warned I do get vaguely evangelical pie in the sky ideas about random community IT projects :) Look forward to hearing/meeting you in the future Bryn -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?

Where about do you live in Bournemouth? I'm in Winton. I don't have a car either so I'm in the same boat as you so to speak. In my case, I can't actually drive, the consequence of spending all my 20s in London where you don't need a car and never have any spare money for anything so driving lessons are out of question. -- Google Android, programming and web design at http://www.cogitas.net/blog/ -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-09-07 20:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ -- Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ...

Nice to see you last time. I was researching parallel printer ports earlier this week, I'm thinking of dumping the sectors of hard drives in various old machines through the printer port, and was wanting clarity on SPP, PS/2, etc. I came across an old Red Hat document on Linux's software interfaces that also explained the hardware background, written by one "Tim Waugh", so thanks for that. :-) > I will try to come along to the Bournemouth meetings -- I live > locally.

Perhaps there's some way of marrying up those seeking lifts with those able to offer? Bearing in mind the list is publicly archived. Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Tuesday 2010-09-07 20:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ -- Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://bit.ly/4sACa

Yes, I never had lessons either. It hasn't ever really been a high priority.

Most are too far away to get to on bicycleanyone care to meet in Melksham?? As for being surrounded by MS Drones.I find myself supporting the (MS) support staff at work on MS O/S installs!!! but - in my little domainerghhh NIS domain I have a fine collection of linux boxes...eventually I'll have to integrate them with MS Active Directory.
