[Lilug] Meeting tomorrow, dia talk, A stroke of bad luck

[odinson]

Hi

 	No worries Tom.  Mike, I think folks will be surprised if I do a 
demo.  I've been using this app for 10 years.  Slides would be like trying 
to teach gimp from dittos.

 	On the bright side the reason I'm so busy is Linux is finally taking 
over at my job, and I'm in demand.  I'm the defacto technical lead 
now.  Nothing is official so it's just doing what I can.  Hell I can't 
even go to my kids minecraft league without becoming tech support the 
minute I walk in.  I think parents made me coach.  LOL.

Everybody should have such problems right?  ;p  Linux is really taking 
over the world. :)

See you folks tonight.  Have some faith, it won't suck.

Matt

PS: If you're frustrated with my two months of talks help out!  We could 
always use some volunteers for future talks.  :):)

Monogamy, AIDS, and drug policy slow population growth to a crawl.
Intellectual property slows science and culture to a crawl.
Operating system features slow computers to a crawl.
Suburbia and taxes slow industry to a crawl.

Only babies and slaves crawl that much.  If you think I act like a baby,
consider the alternative.
