[dundee] TLUG website

[Simon Wells]

Yeah. It was more idle curiosity about what had happened to the tlug  
website. I remembered something from a few months back about the lug  
sites but wasn't sure. Anyway, not trying to add to your workload, I  
am sure it will all work out in time.

Having just moved all my teaching materials out of blackboard and onto  
my own server I agree about running our own servers. It is much better  
in terms of flexibility and reliability and you are not relying on  
other people to do things that you are perfectly capable of doing  
yourself.
