Hi all,<br><br>Well, another DLUG with human people. Declan, Dennis, Ferruccio and myself in attendance.<br><br>My first note on this reads "Laser Building Drawing" and I knew roughly what I was looking for, but it still took some mad googling skills to find it! Well, you try...(even remembering "laser tag"). I eventually got it from a conversation I had with an Australian back in 2007. Anyway, it had better be acknowledged as cool after all that:<br>

<br>Also, on the ARM theme, Dennis had a Raspberry Pi! We didn't have the right mix of power and HDMI to show it off, but I'm definitely going to have it on display for next DLUG! Dennis is also for learning ARM assembly, to which this stackoverflow thread might be of interest (particularly the second reply):<br>

So, we discussed Juju for a while. Frankly, I think if it works as I hope, it could be epic...:<br>

It brings nothing but confusion to the table! Nuff said. Metro sucks:<br>

<br>Hopefully for the next DLUG we'll have an up and running Raspberry Pi! See you there!<br><br>Cheers, Seumas<br>
