[GNHLUG] [DLSLUG-Announce] DLSLUG Annual Social at Lebanon Salt Hill (Next Week)

[Lloyd Kvam]

Salt Hill Pub - Lebanon
Thursday, Jan 3, 6-8PM

Agenda

6:00  Eat, Drink, and be Merry!

Our annual social will be the January meeting of the
Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Linux User Group at the Salt Hill Pub in
Lebanon.  Though the topic of conversation will inevitably flow
to some geeky topic or other, all are welcome, including
significant others.

We'll have a table reserved at Salt Hill in Lebanon for dinner
at 6PM.

There is copious free parking and easy Interstate access.  Plus,
the #1 request for our meetings has been beer, and Salt Hill has
plenty, albeit not "free, as in beer". And the iced tea is
plenty good too, so our younger and drier friends will find
plenty of good food and drink as well.

RSVP so we can get a table(s) of sufficient size.

I've told them to expect around 20 people, but would like to be able to
give them a better estimate as the time gets closer.

I can't help on the mail front, as I sold out to Gmail years ago now.
However, iftop and iotop sound like tools that may help with your load
troubleshooting.  Think of them like being the equivalent of top, but for
block and network device I/O instead of CPU and memory utilization.

My sentiments almost exactly; additionally: consider that the White House
is being required (by popular vote) to produce an official statement on
why-or-why-not to build a Death Star. I can't say that this `try to get
a White-House statement about FOSS' effort is *less* worthwhile than
that. So, ultimately, I contributed my endorsement.

... or, as I phrased it in my submission to Slashdot
:

"OK, making the White House respond to `the Death Star Question'
was fun, but can a nerd political petition with *actual relevance*
get the same number of signatures? A new White-House petition
for the federal government to encouage use of Free Software in
schools is up on the whitehouse.gov site, so we'll see. How do
FOSS and education compare to Death Stars on *your* list of
priorities?"

Re: Cataloging media - books, CDs, DVDs

[Jefferson Kirkland]

I don't have any links for you (sorry), but in reading your post, Ben, my
first thought was, "Let's draw up the spec, work out the details and start
coding!".
