Re: [BLUG] Linux games from a live dvd

By the way, I'm downloading this right now and I can write a few DVDs,
so nobody should need to spend the time downloading it for tomorrow.

That's great. Actually, we need more newbies to come along so taht
they can see what is possible and we can possibly answer any questions
and share some knowledge. So you are most welcome.

I will most likely stop by and at least introduce myself. I'll bring my
antique laptop for people to make fun of, but I doubt that it -- or me,
for that matter -- is gaming worthy.

Mostly I'll be looking at what's going on. I'm not a gamer (not even
solitaire; my wife says I'm weird; she may have a point), but I am an
enthusiastic Linux desktop user, although it's obvious my knowledge
level if far below those who post here.

Re: [BLUG] Reminder - Linux LAN Party tomorrow from 10am - midnight

Good question. The parking garage on 4th street (the one with the
skywalk) is available on weekends for free. Park on the 3rd level and
you can just walk right over.

On the street, if you park south of the square on college avenue or on
4th street, most of those spots have green parking signs, which means
you can park all day Saturday and Sunday. Don't park where the blue
signs are, because that is 2 hours all the time from 5am - 5pm. After
5pm you can pretty much park anywhere for more than 2 hours. Confused
yet?

Just park in the garage and if you want to park on the street, look for
the green parking signs.

Re: [BLUG] Reminder - Linux LAN Party tomorrow from 10am - midnight

Where's the best place to park? Is the normal Fountain Square parking
unlimited duration over the weekend? I thought most of them were
two-hour spots.

I'm hoping I can be dropped off, so with any luck I won't need to worry
about it, but I know some people will care...

Cheers,
Steven Black

Re: [BLUG] Linux games from a live dvd

That looks cool and will make it quick to get some of those games up
and running. I'll make a few DVDs of that.

Actually, I thought of something you guys could bring. Mousepads. The
table that CFC is loaning will have a pure white cloth on them, so
optical mice will have trouble.

[BLUG] Reminder - Linux LAN Party tomorrow from 10am - midnight

Just wanted to remind everyone that the Linux LAN Party is tomorrow
from 10am - midnight. It is in Fountain Square Suite 222. Just take
the glass elevator to the 2nd floor and you'll see us.

I already know that Barry and Steven are planning on attending. Anyone
else who is planning on attending please let me know. I was able to get
an extra long table and more chairs from CFC for the event. And I
should even have a few extra computers.

See you there!
