Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

Scott had posted yesterday that we didn't have a room reserved again
this month. So, despite there having been an alternate room number
listed, leading me to have thought that we probably did, I figured he
knew whereof he spoke, and that we weren't meeting tonight after all.

Plus, I ended up at work 'til about 8:00 p.m. Which would have made it
challenging for me to have made a 7:00 meeting...

In theory, I'll be able to make the July and August meetings, and
would be able to bring one projector...

[BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

That's too bad. There always seemed to be a different crowd during
the summer months than the rest of the year. Makes sense. Maybe those
people didn't get the word this year about the group.

Actually, I was thinking lately that I'd like to do a presentation,
maybe next month, on my own personal desktop. It may sound boring but I
wanted to share with everyone how I use my computer. Not that I'm
specifically interesting, but it would be a good presentation for
picking up lots of tips and tricks. I was thinking that I could get my
hands on two LCD projectors and show how I utilize two screens. I think
I could do it in July or August.

Does this interest anyone?

[BLUG] Where is everybody?

I left the meeting room (1C) after 15 minutes of waiting for the first
person to show up.

It is the second Tuesday. It was 7pm. It was the room next door to the
room we usually use.

What happened?

fglrx works fine for me w/ BZFLag and all manner of OpenGL apps
(xscreensaver opengl, rss-glx, quake, etc).
