Hi Rick, Dave, Everyone

No problem about making it to the LUG, when you can, just drop by.

Regarding languages, Python is top of my list, how does everyone else
feel?

Creating a web app would be a great idea, good continuation from
learning web design, and good to introduce Python.

(BTW I have put together a basic guide to web design. I am focusing on
text, tables, images and hyperlinks. We will be using Kompozer, a GUI
html/css editor)

All, I don't want to hog the sessions, nor do I want to control whats
going on. So please shout up if you want to do anything.

All the best
Les
