[Ql-Users] Internet difficulties

2014-10-13 Thread Colin
I'm having similar problems to Dilwyn, but without the thunderstorms.
Haven't there been reports about the Internet becoming overloaded, so
running slow?

Hi Colin,

I would doubt that the Internet is overloaded. It might be running out of IPv4 
addresses, but that would make things slow.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Norm.

Holiday Inn, 132 Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh, EH12 6UA. - there is a 
link to Google maps from Geoff's page. The page says function room 
open from 7pm.


I assume that if there are any last minute changes (I haven't heard of 
any) Geoff will raise his head at some point to tell everyone!

May I ask for a reminder about the details when and where (Adress) 
today's dinner will be taking place?
There have been loads of mails about the dinner of course. But now 
it's getting closer I try to find the details ;-)

Kind regards
Paul

Thanks for the help - when Paul sent his message I was between Derby and 
Chesterfield on my way to Edinburgh and was totally out of contact.


Also thanks to everyone who made QLis30 such a successful event. I hope 
to write an account before the end of the week, but I have only just had 
time in the last few minutes to download the photos.


We had 26 people at the event which is slightly lower than we would have 
liked. We thought we would have about 30. The hall proved to be perfect 
for the number. As so often happens with this type of event it does not 
go exactly to plan. At one point we abandoned most of the planned 
program because everyone was so busy working at their machines and deep 
in discussion in small groups. This was the whole point of the event and 
we felt that presentations would only interrupt it.


At that stage the projector was already set up for a presentation which 
eventually took place two hours later at the end of the afternoon, so 
there was no possibility to set up a public Skype link. I later 
discovered it would have been impossible anyway as the wifi had crashed.


Two special words of thanks.

At the Friday dinner Valerie Taylor, wife of John former treasurer of 
Quanta, declared that catering was something that men were incapable of 
and immediately offered her services for the Saturday,. She did a 
magnificent job for lunch assisted by Sarah Gilpin.


Second word of thanks to Quanta. For all the faults they made some 
months ago when we were first discussing QLis30, they fully redeemed 
themselves in their help with this event. In particular the support with 
collecting payments for the dinner.


Incidentally the cost of the workshop was about £300. Worth thinking 
about for the future,


Best Wishes,


Geoff

[Ql-Users] QLis30 - has anyone found my glasses, please?

2014-10-13 Thread Michael Bulford
I seem to have mislaid my glasses somehow, and this would have happened at the 
QLis30 workshop. These glasses only get used occasionally, and I keep them in a 
black case. I would guess that I might have placed the case down on a table, 
afterwards someone could have absent-mindedly picked this case up, believing it 
to be theirs, and put it in their own pocket, then forgot about it. These 
things can easily happen. I hope this is the case, because I would like to have 
these specs back. They are a prescription and tinted pair, and I have had them 
for many years. So, if anyone does have them, can you please let me know.


Kind regards,


Michael Bulford
