It was just very, very small. Perhaps you missed it. It really was very tiny. Don't blame me if your eyesight is going there "Granddad", OK?! Plus the manchester@bsdgroups.org.uk mailing list is regularly stuffed and so I need to do Magic Things sometime Real Soon Now to restore normal service by moving us somewhere else. Many of you are getting this via BCC. Anyway, the - very clever, go on admit it - subject line refers to the fact that Apple-fan-boi Stephen Fry has been corrupted by Comrade Matt Lee into supporting this GNU malarky, and then the same said Comrade Matt Lee corrupted me into becoming an EU mirror for these mutterings in a format nobody has a codec installed for: http://vagueware.com/gnu/ Obviously I am an idiot in allowing my company name to be tarnished with such propaganda, but hey, it's almost Christmas. I know it must be almost Christmas, because on Sunday the boss of my local was showing me this year's Christmas decorations. They are lovely in the sense that only blue LEDs arranged in a shape reminiscent of the Star of David could be considered lovely. I digress. Today is the first Tuesday of the month. This is the matter at hand. That means tonight at the allotted hour of 1930 hours UTC+1 (-ish), I hereby request your attendance at the Briton's Protection public house on Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester, UK. We shall discuss: - The downfall of Stephen Fry - The propagandist Matthew Lee - Tacky Christmas decorations - Hitler penguins (no, really) - The fact Sam won't be in attendance because - I quote - "Tuesday is Yoga night" - Why as a Manchester City fan I want to cry today - Maybe some Unix stuff at some point? These discussions will continue until 2130 hours UTC+1 (double-ish), at which point we will disperse in a chaotic manner by way of perhaps another bar. -- Paul Robinson From owner-freebsd-user-groups@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Sep 6 01:01:48 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75512106564A for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 01:01:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from george@ceetonetechnology.com) Received: from madmax.bizintegrators.com (madmax.bizintegrators.com [64.94.184.54]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1B9748FC16 for ; Sat, 6 Sep 2008 01:01:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from george@ceetonetechnology.com) Received: from Macintosh.local (pool-71-183-183-248.nycmny.east.verizon.net [71.183.183.248]) (authenticated bits=0) by madmax.bizintegrators.com (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id m860gHkU010553 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO) for ; Fri, 5 Sep 2008 20:42:18 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <48C1D1E4.2040104@ceetonetechnology.com> Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:42:12 -0400 From: George Rosamond User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (Macintosh/20080707) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Loftmail-Check: No X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.57 on 64.94.184.88 Subject: NYCBSDCon 2008 X-BeenThere: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: george@ceetonetechnology.com List-Id: User Group Coordination List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:01:48 -0000 We are proud to announce the release of the speaker's presentations and that registration is now open for NYCBSDCon 2008 at http://www.nycbsdcon.org NYCBSDCon 2008 will be held at Manhattan's Columbia University on October 11 and 12 in New York City.
