Thanks and raincoat
by Justin Hyde 04 May '06

A big thank you to the linux (and mythtv) experts who helped out at the workshop last Saturday. Certainly I got a lot out of the day, I reckon I could get mythtv going by myself now. If anyone wants some help then we could test that theory. One of our mature members, who arrived around 3pm, left his raincoat at my place. Please contact me at 8562454 to arrange pickup. Cheers guys! Justin Hyde

Fibre
by Oliver Jones 03 May '06

I've deleted the email I was going to respond to... damn. Anyway, regarding LLU, the PDF pointed to makes a good point. Really people should be trying to get access to the ground so they can lay fibre. There is some sort of ruling in NY that makes it compulsory for all utility companies to co-operate on all ditch digging activities. If one company wants to lay a cable all other companies must also lay cable in the same ditch. If they don't they can't dig up the same part of the street for some long period of time. I believe this bylaw was put in place because NY city residents were complaining bitterly about the near constant road works and such due to cable/telecoms companies. Regards

Hi all. Am probably posting to the wrong area (or looking in the wrong place), but am after the latest 5?-CD set of Fedora Core. Am happy to pay postage and SAE, plus supply CD's required, as well as ten blank CD's for whoever does the job :-) Cheers, Elroy Liddington.

Official Announcement.

Hi All, Over the last month or so, the WLUG Committee went to seek sponsorship in order to replace the existing hoiho server. Today, HP New Zealand has responded by kindly providing an HP BL10e blade server complete with five servers having 512 MB RAM in each of them and single disk. HP didn't provide me with any further details of the specifications. Regards, Lindsay Druett. WLUG President.
