Hamilton Curry - 17th April 2008 - upcoming to the Hamilton 400 V8 Supercars
by Lindsay Druett 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Yes, we're definitely well overdue for a Thursday night curry in H'tron. And with geeks coming to the tron to watch the V8 supercars in action, well, what's a better time to get together and have a curry ? So far, I have got 4 people keen for an early curry, personally 6:30pm onwards would suit me. Because of the nature of the upcoming event, the Hamilton 400 V8 Supercars, I really need to get firm numbers so that I can book ahead At this stage, I'm looking at Little India in Alexandra St which is in Hamilton CBD.

HP jump in on Linux sub-notebook
by Ian McDonald 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Competition is great. Linux is great for this too, given their (lack of) horsepower and the licensing cost (basically zero). http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/04/08/new-hp-education-subno… I see Microsoft is extending XP Home/Starter - just for this category only though. Again a healthy sign of competition. -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4/ Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz

Mac limitations

Hi folks, I've moved on to a new job now, doing more hard-core networking & security, and I'm running into a 'glass wall' in terms of functionality & performance. I bought my MacBook pro because it's really good hardware & nice & portable, not to mention it looks really slick. I want bump up the memory to the max 4GB & to load on Ubuntu, and then run OS/X & windoze in VMWare. But I need to set up a recovery system so that I can get back to 'normal' in a pinch if all goes wrong. Unfortunately I did not bring my original OEM OS disks with me. Could anyone please assist me or give some advice. I'll scour the ubuntuforums for more info Thanks - J > From: wlug-request(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > Subject: wlug Digest, Vol 202, Issue 7 > To: wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 12:00:06 +1200 > > Send wlug mailing list submissions to > wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wlug-request(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wlug-owner(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of wlug digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Openoffice 3
by Ian McDonald 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Update on what is in this: http://www.oooninja.com/2008/03/openofficeorg-30-new-features.html To me it looks like features Office has had for years..... Many opensource projects innovate and I think it is time they did this rather than copy. -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4/ Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz
