So sorry everyone.  I got back from holiday on Monday evening and went 
straight intro a domestic drama.  It is not secret.  In fact, I will happily 
bore the socks off anyone who is intrepid enough to ask, but I don't want to 
put it into print.

I really am sorry.  I had been trying to get a speaker, but my first choice 
couldn't manage Saturdays, and I then retreated into my personal problems.  
There is no excuse.  I have fallen down on my "duties".  It won't, I hope, 
happen again.

I was in fact as my second choice looking for a speaker on Raspberry Pi, and 
we have had two very successful talks by members, so Jon and Raspberry Pi is 
a _very_ good idea. :-)

I have a, so far, unused Raspberry Pi.  I'll bring it and its cables.  I 
haven't got a mouse and keyboard for it, and I gather it is fussy about 
rodents and things.  I'll bring a mouse, keyboard and USB hub, but I don't 
know whether they will work with the Raspberry Pi, particularly as the hub is 
unpowered.  So perhaps other people could also bring some, in the hope that 
something will work.  I have two memory cards for it.  One preinstalled 
with XBMC (unexamined) and a blank one on which I intend to install Raspbian.  
So after Jon's demonstration, we could all have a nice play.

Don't send me stuff

I unsubscribed some time ago

I don't want to have to put up with being bored

Especially by this person, who has a mania for being in charge of everything

You clearly didn't. :)

unsubscribe options at the bottom.

Not sure on what planet you think this is an acceptable way to
communicate with other humans.

Shut the door on the way out.

I clearly need to give myself a good shake.

I forgot to say that I shall aim to be there for 12:30 in case anyone arrives 
early; especially anyone new.

I also omitted to say that you will need to ring the bell when you arrive and 
will be let in when you say that you are there for the Linux meeting.

Go up the stairs and through the bar and we shall be in the room at the far 
left.

Hilsea station is next door and there is ample parking opposite.

Kudos Al

Some people have obviously never been taught even the most basic of manners.

Sad.

The invitation is still a warm one, but "due to circumstances beyond 
our control" the room in which we meet will not be available on 18th 
January, so the PLUG meeting in January will be on Saturday 11th 
January, the SECOND SATURDAY.  This has the advantage of being 
further away from any HantsLUG meeting or trip at the beginning of 
February.

Further details nearer the time.

[Hampshire] Portsmouth Linux Users Group meeting on Saturday December 21st

2013-12-09 Thread Lisi
You are all warmly invited to the next meeting of the Portsmouth Linux 
Users Group.  I fact, why not come along while your meetings are in 
abeyance?  You would always be welcome.  

We meet regularly on the third Saturday of the month from 13:00 to 
17:30 at Broadoaks Social Club.
http://www.broadoaksocialclub.net/where.html

This is very easy to get to both by road and by rail.  A sat-nav does 
in fact help, though the warning about post-codes should be heeded.  
Find the railway station and you are home and dry.  I set the sat-nav 
to Airport Service Road midpoint and look for the railway bridge.

The upcoming meeting is on December 21st.  Fancy hats at your 
discretion. ;-)

We shall have a speaker:  Peter Collins will talk on using his 
Raspberry Pi as a time-lapse camera and also, hopefully, tell us what 
is wrong with WEP and demonstrate how easy it is to crack into a 
router.  He is currently in Dubai, and cannot guarantee to have time 
when he gets back to "pull a router out of a cupboard" and set it up.

Hopefully we shall also have some ailing boxen to which to minister.

I said that I would bring some mince pies if I remember.  No 
promises, mind!  

For newcomers:
There is plenty of parking just opposite the club, and Hilsea railway 
station is immediately adjacent.

The door to the club will probably be shut.  You will need to ring 
the buzzer and ask for the Linux meeting.  Go up the stairs and 
through the bar to the door at the back left corner of the bar.

I shall aim to be there not later than 12:30, but may be hampered in 
this ambition by the existence, or lack of it, of a suitable train..

Do come and add to our $FESTIVAL spirit.

The next PLUG meeting will be on Saturday 11th January, the SECOND 
SATURDAY of the month: as usual in the Broadoaks Social Club from 
13:00 to 17:30.
http://www.broadoaksocialclub.net/where.html

You would all be very welcome at any time, but may like to take 
advantage of us in a month in which HantsLUG has no meeting.

We have bar facilities with tea and coffee, but the only food 
available on site is crisps, scratchings etc.

It would be great if someone, or even better some people, could bring

meeting. ;-)  I shall be coming by train, so will not be able to bring 
much.
