[Nottingham] hello

[Quark Quarkquark]

Hi all,

It's good to see some activity on here!

I'm a Maths PhD student at the university. I don't do any coding for work, but I'm very much a tinkerer and love using Arch Linux.

Best,
Jonathan

Hi all,

I am one of those lurkers who still stay connected but haven't dropped by on a Thursday for quite a few years.

I am well retired and still live in Chilwell. Once someone from the group helped me with my little Korean Samsung NC110 to load Mint onto it when I was having trouble getting past the fast boot option. I appreciated that help very much.

Otherwise, as you say, I guess, most of my very simple problems get sorted in the Mint forums. My level of knowledge and use of Linux is very elementary. I don't run Linux systems or program or anything sophisticated like that.

I have just bought a new Think Penguin T4 laptop, ordered in from the US, which came in just 3½ days! Great piece of kit for a lowly user like me. I am just getting used to it.

Nicholas (Nic) Deane

Hi all,

As I now live in Glasgow, I am not going to be of much use!
I know a few of the other regulars have also moved away for one reason or another.

Martin (Lomas) should still be around. If there is interest in a meet, I am sure that he can arrange something.
Or arrange a time and date between yourselves. Other than any talk that happened to be on, they were pretty informal.

Cheers,

J.

Hi Graham,

This list (as you have likely noticed by now) is very quiet these days.
Months can often go by without any messages.  Look at the archives and
you will see what I mean: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/nottingham/

I don't even know if the Nottingham group is still actively meeting in
person or not.  I suspect not, because in the past, such meetups were
typically arranged on this list.

I left Nottingham myself years ago (although I visit once every year or
two), but I have remained in this list for some reason.

In some ways it's sad that many LUGs seem to have died out somewhat, but
in other ways, it's a symptom of the success of Linux.

Martin.
