First, I apologize to all that attended and couldn't finish the desired work due to the electricity shortage that began around 4:30-4:45pm and lasted the rest of the evening - hey, it DID give us a chance to gab and eat pizza, right? Next, I would like to thank Roxanne Brock and Team Excel for arranging the room and providing the cake - a first that I know of - very delicious! Thanks to Carl for providing the Stomper and labels (under-used for what I'd envisioned, but still appreciated!), Ben for setting up the NAT, providing the 'monster-switch', and all those that provided patience, assistance, technical expertise, and the requisite humor needed to deal with all of the VERY NEWbies, pseudo-NEWbies, and all the rest. I spoke with Roxanne after it was all over on the way home and she expressed remorse over the way the event sorta crash-landed on the rocks of electric-hell and was kicked over the cliff by maintenance-helldesk. That being her first concern, the next question was, 'Do we need to have another one?' I suggested that she find out the AMP-rating for the room, we 'might' be able to control this were we to have another one in the future, and to see again in a few weeks/months time - I KNOW many showed up that didn't finish all they intended (myself included!). And for those that needed/wanted Roxanne's info (she works as a recruiter for the contracting company Team Excel) but couldn't/didn't find any of the business cards, here is her info: rbrock at team-excel.com I'm sure she'd be very happy to hear from anyone looking! IF there is enough interest I'm sure we can have access to the facilities again, just let me know - OFFLINE - and I'll contact Roxanne again to set something up. -- Wil Now back to your regularly scheduled procrastination, already in progress... _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
