  15. <DaveM> when i put a new cd writer in it was about an inch longer than the last one, the corner wiped out a capacitor on the m/b and resulted in lots of smoke, sparks and swearing! [14:56]

  117. <MarcMc[LLUG]> who is going to finish it? [20:10]
  118. <EN> is anyone actually working on it? [20:10]
  119. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i don't think so [20:10]
  120. <EN> if not i will cut and paste my content into bens framework and activate links [20:10]
  121. <MarcMc[LLUG]> iain, can you please ask ben for his source code and we will put it onto the llug web space [20:11]

  132. <EN> for starters you can make it php :) [20:14]
  133. <EN> we need 2 data bases [20:14]
  134. <MarcMc[LLUG]> good, no problem. i'll do the php and mysql stuff. next topic: RL meeting (any questions? any suggestions?) [20:14]
  135. <MarcMc[LLUG]> what are you people interested in? Networking? Security? Programming? Multimedia? Office Work? Politics? [20:15]
  136. <MarcMc[LLUG]> what's your preferred subject? [20:15]
  137. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i'd like to know more about multimedia [20:16]
  138. <frogman> Networking / Security / Fun projects usually, in about that order [20:16]
  139. <EN> if it includes gettin DVDs working thatd be cool... or maybe networking [20:16]
  140. <caitlin> i'm usually interested in anything that i don't already know about [20:17]
  141. <MarcMc[LLUG]> okay. that's good to know, cos we don't have anyone for networking yet. [20:17]
  142. <caitlin> as long as it's presented in an interesting way, of course [20:17]
  143. <MarcMc[LLUG]> caitlin, what is it for example you don't know about? [20:18]
  144. <caitlin> um [20:18]
  145. <caitlin> networking would be good for me too, probably [20:18]
  146. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i've got a friend who could talk about networking. [20:19]
  147. <caitlin> it's hard to say - it would be good if people knew about some cool new project that hasn't had much exposure anywhere yet [20:19]
  148. <MarcMc[LLUG]> hmmm... okay [20:19]
  149. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i'd like to get a rough list of speakers and topics together, so we can get the flyers printed. [20:21]
  150. <MarcMc[LLUG]> this is the next topic for tonight: what size do you want the [20:21]
  151. <MarcMc[LLUG]> posters to be - perhaps an A5 folded booklet/flyer for attendees [20:21]
  152. <EN> i think a little a5 folded program for the event would be nice... [20:22]
  153. <MarcMc[LLUG]> do we need a A4 as a poster as well? [20:23]
  154. <EN> to put in shops etc? [20:24]
  155. <frogman> Probably - are we talking hit and run pasting or legitimate? [20:24]
  156. <MarcMc[LLUG]> yes, to put in shops [20:24]
  157. <EN> bit of both [20:24]
  158. <MarcMc[LLUG]> legitimate ;) [20:24]
    • frogman put away balaclava [20:25]
  160. <frogman> Are there any Lincolnshire "community" websites that don't suck / have visitors we could post the meeting on? [20:25]
  161. <EN> dunno [20:25]
  162. <EN> we could try the echo [20:26]
  163. <caitlin> uk.local.lincolnshire on Usenet? [20:26]
  164. <MarcMc[LLUG]> please have a look and post it everywhere [20:26]
  165. <frogman> wonder if the echo would do a freebie? "community interest" styleee [20:26]
  166. <EN> probably [20:26]
  167. <EN> worth a try [20:27]
  168. <EN> or we coulkd send them the lxf press release [20:27]
  169. <MarcMc[LLUG]> yeah, we've got an official press release now ;) [20:27]
  170. <frogman> true - anyone look presentable in a linux-style photo if they ask? [20:28]
  171. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i'm in germany at the moment... [20:28]
  172. <MarcMc[LLUG]> but i could send them a digital photograph [20:28]
  173. <frogman> I meant pre-made [20:28]
  174. <EN> well me and ricey will be vaguely presentable since work is strict on apearnences [20:28]
  175. <frogman> but if you want to volunteer........ [20:29]
  176. <MarcMc[LLUG]> oh. good. iain is in charge of the photograph! [20:29]
  177. <EN> NOOOooooo........... [20:29]
  178. <MarcMc[LLUG]> btw: iain, are you going to talk about kopete and audacity? [20:29]
  179. <EN> http://iain-baker.fotopic.net [20:30]
  180. <chris__> The Echo did a little article years ago; I just wrote to the Editor [20:30]
  181. <EN> look at meet the author and decide whether you really want me as the face of llug [20:30]
  182. <chris__> So .... Someone try again; they are glad of little local stories that fill up the paper [20:30]
  183. <MarcMc[LLUG]> ah. sounds good. [20:31]
  184. <chris__> Though watch out; often the reporter will just phone [20:31]
  185. <frogman> We have to use the desert photo of EN though, if asked. [20:32]
  186. <frogman> with a tux 'shopped in [20:32]
  187. <EN> me and tux in the gulf [20:32]
  188. <MarcMc[LLUG]> please keep me up to date, if there's an answer from the editor, okay? [20:32]
  189. <EN> pete... since you have it are you gonna send it?? [20:33]
  190. <MarcMc[LLUG]> or can you send me the mail address of the editor? [20:34]
  191. <frogman> er... yeah. Who wants to be point of contact (all the secretaries are on hols now, so phones aren;t answered) [20:34]
  192. <frogman> in case they phone I mean. [20:35]
  193. <MarcMc[LLUG]> erm... i'm still in germany. hmmmm... [20:35]
  194. <EN> if you want me pictured you can appoint me if you like [20:35]
  195. <chris__> Be careful; a reporter will just phone once; then they will print what they want [20:35]
  196. <MarcMc[LLUG]> argh [20:35]
  197. <frogman> <ex-pr>depends on the reporter</ex-pr> [20:36]
  198. <chris__> (Speaks from previous experience of trying to get local LUG to work) [20:36]
  199. <EN> just send them the press rel;ease [20:36]
  200. <chris__> Prolly send in article, photo all ready? [20:37]
  201. <MarcMc[LLUG]> chris, would you like to speak on our meeting? [20:37]
  202. <chris__> I could do LFS, boot CDs if that is not too technical [20:37]
  203. <chris__> Or building systems qt, kde, and stuff [20:38]
  204. <MarcMc[LLUG]> it's important that you're interested in that topic, but we're still looking for volunteers for "linux/open source basics", "mozilla project", "open office" and "basic linux security" [20:39]
  205. <MarcMc[LLUG]> or whatever you'd prefer [20:39]
  206. <EN> MarcMc[LLUG]: i will do Kopete, but i do not know audacity well enough [20:40]
  207. <MarcMc[LLUG]> :( have a look at it and see, if you could talk about it for 10 minutes [20:40]
  208. <chris__> email with what "linux/open source basics" entails [20:40]
  209. <EN> i'll see what i can do... but it'd just be a basic overview [20:41]
  210. <MarcMc[LLUG]> yeah, that's fine [20:41]
  211. <MarcMc[LLUG]> basically it's up to you, chris. it could be: history of linux, GPL, "why do people spend their time to work on free software?", comparion with M$/Windows... [20:42]
  212. <MarcMc[LLUG]> but i think it is a very important speech. [20:43]
  213. <chris__> I could do that, but have used Linux 8 years, and never really used MSDOS [20:43]
  214. <MarcMc[LLUG]> it doesn't have to be in detail. just a rough overview. you don't have to do a comparison then. [20:44]
  215. <chris__> Hey folks; forget your toy computer system, get Linux! [20:44]
  216. <EN> yeah thats a good opener [20:44]
  217. <frogman> and improve your uptime :) [20:44]
  218. <MarcMc[LLUG]> Yeah, exactly! It is. [20:44]
  219. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i'd like that one as an opener [20:45]
  220. <MarcMc[LLUG]> i think chris should actually do the opener, cos he founded llug [20:45]
  221. <chris__> I would need a "scope" tp plan my talk; BTW how long do I speak for [20:46]
  222. <EN> yep i second that [20:46]
  223. <chris__> stp/to [20:46]
  224. <EN> Lucy says hi everybody [20:46]
  225. <MarcMc[LLUG]> 10 - 20 minutes [20:46]
  226. <MarcMc[LLUG]> hey lucy! [20:46]
  227. <caitlin> it would be interesting to start off pointing out how people expect computers to be going wrong and crashing all the time [20:46]
  228. <caitlin> "do you realise that PCs don't have to be unreliable? use linux!" [20:47]
  229. <EN> "its ok it does that, you just reboot and its fine" [20:47]
  230. <MarcMc[LLUG]> chris, do you want us to get some ideas for you together now? [20:48]
  231. <frogman> look, it's Microsoft, you can't fix that.... [20:48]
  232. <frogman> question that will come up in Chris' talk is user support [20:49]
  233. <chris__> No, I can do a talk; just not too certain of scope and detail [20:49]
  234. <chris__> LOL Linux has user support [20:50]
  235. <MarcMc[LLUG]> if things come into my mind I will send you an email [20:50]
  236. <MarcMc[LLUG]> WE are the user support ;) [20:50]
  237. <frogman> so mention the community support already :) [20:50]
  238. <chris__> BTW Do any of you know a competent computer shop in Lincs? [20:50]
  239. <frogman> it's free and provided you've RTFM'd a lot more responsive [20:51]
  240. <EN> generally or linux? [20:51]
  241. <frogman> for fixing or buying? [20:51]
  242. <EN> internetreadypc's on the high street is quite good and cheap (its owned by the main supplier of computer bits in lincoln) [20:52]
  243. <chris__> That is good, been trying to get quote for AMD-64 and bits [20:53]
  244. <chris__> Will try them [20:53]
  245. <frogman> internet not an option? [20:53]
  246. <EN> haha yes it is an option [20:53]
  247. <EN> i will be speaking to them soon trying to get them to try linux with their pc packages [20:54]
  248. <chris__> Local stores either ignore me, or you get a dumb lad/girl who says that they do not have the softeare for it [20:54]
  249. <frogman> yeah, decent computer stores are like decent record shops - few an far between. [20:54]
  250. <frogman> an > and [20:54]
  251. <chris__> Where abouts on High Street [20:55]
  252. <EN> well the bloke i spoke to from their seemed quite interested in linux when i took mine in to get fixed... and he saw it when i finally booted up [20:56]
  253. <EN> its at the bottom where the shops start thining out... if yopu come from the south its on the left [20:56]
  254. <EN> 01522787205 [20:57]
  255. <EN> thtas there number [20:57]
  256. <MarcMc[LLUG]> my friend Jan will give us an introduction on linux in a windows and mac environment [20:57]
  257. <caitlin> for that matter, does anyone know where the decent record shops in lincolnshire are? :-) [20:58]
  258. <chris__> Thanks [20:58]
  259. <EN> i think theres on up on steep hill... but i just go to nottingham [20:58]
  260. <frogman> don't think there are any, hence my whining. [20:59]
  261. <frogman> i stock up when I go down to London [20:59]
  262. <MarcMc[LLUG]> brb [21:00]
  263. <frogman> just thinking, probably worth sending the article nearer the meeting - immediacy will sell the story and people are less likely to forget about the date. [21:00]
  264. <EN> good thinking [21:01]
  265. <chris__> It might be an idea for you to have a word with internetreadypc, they might be interested in becomming the official hardware supplier to Linux in Lincolnshire [21:01]
  266. <frogman> discounts in return for official LLUG support? hmmm... [21:02]
  267. <frogman> just looking at the online shop, prices aren't too bad [21:02]
  268. <MarcMc[LLUG]> can you give me a link? [21:02]
  269. <caitlin> can you give me a link too? [21:02]
  270. <caitlin> i'm looking for a new monitor [21:02]
  271. <chris__> Not discounts really; just some official place that knows us and talks sense [21:02]
  272. <frogman> http://www.internetreadypcs.co.uk [21:03]
  273. <chris__> They might put a big penguin in their shop, and sell distros [21:04]
  274. <caitlin> ta [21:04]
  275. <frogman> only do maxtor IDE drives though and usb stick is overpriced. [21:04]
  276. <EN> i will have a chat with them... see what they say... [21:04]
  277. <MarcMc[LLUG]> thanks, iain [21:05]
  278. <MarcMc[LLUG]> you're my hero [21:05]
  279. <EN> they are jolly friendly so i will apply gentle pressure [21:05]
  280. <frogman> If they did a "proper boxed" and a "downloaded" distros for those w/out broadband, they'd be v. popular [21:05]
  281. <EN> well they build pcs and sell 'taylor made' windows box's... so if we can get them to slap Linux in as an option too!! [21:06]
  282. <MarcMc[LLUG]> sounds very interesting and would make linux more popular through lincs [21:06]
  283. <EN> yep yep... [21:06]
