Everyone who has an account on Fatalpha automagically gets a personal web page. It's part of the setup script for an account. As an example: http://www.trilug.org/~jonc
Feel free to put your picture up on your site. The only restrictions are that you can't run a business or store objectionable material on your web-site (I think that means porn...). Q: Who determines what is objectionable? A: Inflow (we are in their site as their guests). As to running a business... It's fine to put up information about consulting etc... but no shopping carts please! BTW: there is a quota on disk space for each user ~40Mb if I remember correctly. That there is a hefty amount of bit-tage. Q: Who is eligible for an account on Fatalpha? A: Any current member of TriLUG Q: How do I get me one of them thar accounts? A: Join TriLUG and request one from either the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if the sysadmin doesn't answer your note quickly enough!). Note: we are talking about "card carrying members" here... not mere lurkers on the Mailing list. Q: How do I get me one of them TriLUG cards (virtual, though some of them may be...)? A: Show up at a meeting, grab a member of the steering committee and sign-up! Just don't do it while the speaker is presenting or some folks are going to be right pissed at you...
