Re: [Scottish] Next Meeting
In previous years we have always gone for the Thursday before, although there has often been an additional, informal, meet on one of the other days. I am not a student, but will be spending my Christmas day in Yorkshire, with my family. Had I been spending it in Glasgow, I think my wife would still have banned me from attending a SLUG meet.

Fwd: Re: [Scottish] Next Meeting
-- Best Regards Willie Fleming---BeginMessage--- i'll knock up a quick howto, as i have plenty of time on my hands. also i think there are free java applets that could be added to the website and set to automagically join the scotlug channel. if anyone is interested in that i'll look into it, i know a few places have that, or maybe a CGi script or something, i dunno. G snippage OK two suggestions -- non IRC folk, please consider joining in if at all possible. I suppose a mini HOWTO is called for here but for now 1) get a client - mIRC is good for starters if you are just beginning cos it is a Win prog and effectively free for 30 days - I won't presume to suggest a Linux client but I'd be surprised if there isnt one installed by default with your distro. 2) point it at eu.freenode.net -- yes there _are_ alternatives, this will get you started. 3) join #scotlug 4) Have a lot of fun -- and dont be scared to jump in with the boots on and ask for help, advice whatever. -- Best Regards Willie Fleming ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish ---End Message--- ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

Re: [Scottish] Next meeting?
