[HLUG] HLUG Meetings

[Rodney]

Sorry I didn't get to the meeting at all.

There were four things I wanted to do on Wednesday evening. One was 
cancelled, which threw out my planning completely. I had intended to 
spend a few minutes at the meeting on Wednesday (just to say Hello again 
and show interest) and then move on to the other two.  As it was I 
managed only one.  I nearly always have a problem on Wednesday evenings.

I too find the concentration on Ubuntu a bit of a problem.  I don't work 
  on Linux, I just run it on all my PCs.  I write php for extracting 
data reports from SQL data and actually write this software (for a web 
based system intended for Windows users) using Kwrite and test it using 
Apache on a PC running Mandriva 2008.  (I am upgrading to Mandriva 
2010.0 but can't yet run php properly as it will not connect to Apache 
properly. Anyone know why?)

Within the constraints mentioned for Wednesday evenings (17th March is 
FREE at present) I would like to attend HLUG meetings and don't much 
mind where they are.  (I liked Simpson Hall and had an interesting 
evening last time we met in Kyrle Street but found Leominster too much 
of a problem fitting things in.)

I would welcome any talks which widen my grasp of what can be done with 
Linux.
