At home, my ISP is demon (home office package) and I am quite happy with them. My partner telecommutes a couple days a week and we have no problems with the connection. Luckily we are near the phone exchange, so we get an ADSL2+ with 20 MiB down / 1 MiB up for ~£24.99 a month. I know of at least one person at the Glasgow Perl Mongers which sings the praises of Andrews and Arnold (http://www.aaisp.net.uk/), and have been thinking of switching myself. Their service is reportedly great. http://www.aaisp.net.uk/broadband-prices.html Their plan for 3GiB/month daytime + 50 GiB/month evenings/weekend comes at £24.44 which is pretty much the same as demon. I have not switched yet as I have not been able to determine how much data is transferred when my partner works from home (our router is not collaborating). By the way, if anybody is interested to join the Glasgow Perl Mongers: we will have our next technical meeting on Thursda 2011-01-13, see http://glasgow.pm.org/ Hope this helps :) -marco- -- Marco Fontani ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
Re: [Scottish] Meeting tonight
Rob, Thanks for all your efforts :) Thomas On 28 October 2010 10:46, Robert Lazzurs r...@lazzurs.net wrote: Hello all, It is with great regret and sadness that I have to make tonights meeting about ScotLUG and make tonight a maintainer election. As I stated when I took the position initially I would do this job until you found someone better or I screwed it up. Sadly due to personal issues I have not had the time this month to arrange a speaker and so it is time for me to move on as maintainer and leave the position open to someone who does have the time and resources to do the job. So, if you have ever thought I could to better than the beardie one or just have some ideas on how ScotLUG could be made even more fun then please come along tonight at the usual time of 1930 at Livi Tower. I know there are quite a few people with both the energy and the time to do a great job with this, now it is time for you to stand up and show us all how it is done! :D For everyone else, there will of course be the usual chat and general Linux QA at the meeting and the ever popular trip to the local public house after the meeting. More details about the venue and time of meetings on the wiki http://www.scotlug.org.uk/ (PS. I might be a little late as moncky is dragging me kicking and screaming to a Tron preview) Let me say now it has been a great joy to do this for the last year and I wish who ever is next all the best and my support.

[Scottish] Plug In Power Meter
Hi all I was wondering if anyone had one of those plug in power meters lying about? I'm looking to find out how much VA a server in my house uses, before I fire it into a datacentre.. I can buy one for £15, but i feel thats a waste of money when I'll use it once. TIA Thomas ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
