Sorry, but I can't make it tomorrow, I'd forgotten an archery tournament
I'm booked for. As a side issue on bank holiday Monday, we're running a
have-a-go archery afternoon zt the Whitchurch village fare if anyone is
interexted - damn Galaxy on-screen keyboards.

I think quite a lot of people would pick archery instead of a LUG
meeting, and not just you :d. No problem and enjoy :). However I hope
to meet you at the Saturday September 28th meeting :).

On the subject of sports though, there's this premier league game on
tomorrow that will crash with some/all of the LUG meeting, that I won't
be watching Live, because of going to the LUG meeting :). So I hope
other's won't miss the LUG meeting, because of that :). Whoops now I
might have given some of you a reason to miss the LUG meeting :d.

I don't believe so (if you do find it I'd love to know).

My hack around this in the past has been to add a listener to the
"beforeunload" event, and then set a breakpoint in there.

Hi,

If there is some form of installfest in 2014 I think we need some H/W to
give out.

If I can get hold of at least 30 (2 to 4GB) sticks, we could have the
basics for an event. So if anyone wants to donate old stick(s) I hope
to be at the KT for the next couple of meetings.

If you have problems attending and are a "source" for more than 5 sticks
then let me know and I will try to collect them, but will be unable to
travel to other countries including Sweden!

My initial thoughts are:

1. Have a basic installfest to give out live OS's to takeaway or
install at the event.

2. We need a minimum of 3 luggers to help run the event, two to give
out sticks and help with the install and an "expert" to help with any
difficult problems if they occur.

3. To keep potential for problems to a minimum, "customers" will be
asked to bring H/W with either a blank HD or with with windows and some
space to install Linux as a dual boot set up.

4. OS's/venue/date can be decided later depending on actual support for
such an event.

My own preferences are for a maximum of 3 OS's, a venue in Bristol (or
even Bath!) that is easily reached by public transport, sometime before
April 2014.


Please keep this thread on topic, if you do want to discuss other
relevant subjects could you amend the subject line for reference.

Thanks

Regards

Thanks Tim, that seems to work - will use it next time.

I straced both with and without Firebug as well today (nothing stuck
out as being interesting though).
