[Klug-general] Bash Scripts / Curl Meetup with Stephen

[Nathan Friend]

Hi Stephen,
Another option is a virtual meeting.  There are usually KLUG members
in the chat room irc.lug.org.uk #klug and a few of us are on Skype.

As mentioned previously, what particular tasks do you want your
scripts to perform?

Cheers,

Nathan.
