That's the problem with modern servers / clusters - they just don't look exciting enough! I think Sun were the last people to do servers that looked like they cost loads, but even they didn't have people in white jackets and clipboards walking around it :-)<br>

I thought it would have been used for a World of Warcraft server.
Silly me.<br>

Les, I will be there. I'll go straight from work,
although I'm not sure what the traffic will like
from Deeside to Chester after 6PM. Any ideas?<br>
<br>
I'll bring the Mac, but no Linux on it sadly - it's
too shiny for that.<br>
<br>
See you later.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just thought I should post this event
here in case you're in Chester tomorrow
night and haven't got anything better to do!
I'm going to be giving a talk on Information
Security and ISO 27001 for the BCS at
Chester Uni (in the same building we've had
technical meets at). More info at <a href="http://www.bcs.org/content/conWebDoc/38570" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.bcs.org/content/conWebDoc/38570" target="_blank">http://www.bcs.org/content/conWebDoc/38570</a>
starts at 7 with coffee and biscuits from
6.30.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of more relevance to the group; there's
also going to be a Linux on the Desktop
event on March 16th with the world famous
Dan Lynch speaking (you can buy me a pint
for that one Dan ;-) </div>
<div> The idea of the event will be to promote
Linux as a viable desktop OS and it would be
really good to have some demos of as many
desktop environments as possible. So get
polishing your desktops and bring them along
to show off please!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Whilst I'm emailing it's worth reminding
that the next LUG meet is next Thursday
(27th) at the usual location.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>See you there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Les</div>
