I've heard that some of the places that have podcasted meetings apparently
suffered from it. Once the meetings would be online, attendance dropped
steadily. Then, once attendance got low enough the presentations themselves
grew steadily poorer until it all just, well, sucked.

Cheers,

This reminds me of that a few lugs that do podcast there meetings and it would
be cool to see if BLUG could podcast there meetings as well.

Re: [BLUG] BLUG Meeting, Tues May 13

Hello All:

I very much wanted to attend this meeting as the topic is of particular interest to me (though I think I would've enjoyed virtually all of them).  It doesn't look like, however, I'll be able to attend (again!).  I wonder if it would be possible to get this taped so that it can be viewed later?  Or a screencast with some sort of voice over?  I realize this might be too much of a pain, and that's okay.  But I figured I'd ask.
Have fun at the meeting - sounds like it's going to be a real cool one!
Matt 

[BLUG] BLUG Meeting, Tues May 13

All-

Sorry for the late notice on this, I've had trouble (probably because of
my newbosity) getting the Library to confirm that I actually have the
meeting room reserved.

Anyway, we have (I think) meeting room 1B at the Monroe County Public
Library reserved for this coming Tuesday (May 13) at 7:00pm. I believe
we're scheduled to hear a presentation on some music software (I can't
remember the name, it's been a long weekend) from Bob Piercy (Bob- I'll
bring a projector, if you need one).

I'll also plan to (informally) discuss Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron)
with any and all interested. Bring your issues, maybe somebody will be
able to help!

Next month (June) we'll hold another informal meet-n-greet at a local
restaurant.

Have a happy Monday, and I'll hope to see you Tuesday evening.
Cooley

Re: [BLUG] powertop

Yes! I have been using powertop since quite a bit now. My machine is a Dell Vostro 1400 running Hardy and it does seem to make a certain difference in the battery life.
I have the powertop recommendations in a startup script which is rather nifty than executing them each time by running PowerTop.

If you have a Nvidia card (which takes a significant share for processor-wakeups) you could also take a look at these tips -

[BLUG] powertop

Was curious if anyone had tried out powertop on a laptop and if you had seen
any improvements in battery life?

Re: [BLUG] Supermemo

Hey, thanks for the link.

I've started playing around with Mnemosyne to beat some simple facts
into my head.

So far so good. I've knocked some cobwebs out surrounding my Japanese
reading skills, and reinforced my knowledge of where all the U.S. States
are.
