I reserved room 1B at the MoCo Library (and I can bring a projector, no 
problem). Come to think of it, I haven't received conformation from 
them. I'll check tomorrow.

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.

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

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 -

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

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

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.

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,
Steven Black
