Marshall (and others),
Sorry to have missed you today at the installfest. I was wondering
myself if the event was indeed there after seeing the parking lot
barricades. It was a real PITA, due to a communication failure. None the
less, the building was open (rear east entrance, as usual) and the
security guard was as surprised to see us (diligent folks) as we were to
see the parking lot resurfacers!
Mark and I both learned a few things today, I'm happy to say. We'll be
posting our trials and tribulations (soon to be successes I hope)
getting ndis working with windows drivers for wireless-g devices.
(Purists can ignore this ndis configuration, ok Hans?)
Several other people achieved varying degrees of success with their
objectives (beyond the parking lot dilemma). All in all, not a bad event
considering the circumstances (IMHO). I imagine it would have been
buzzing big time without the accessibility challenge.
Thanks to all (helpers, helpees and, dare I say, helpless?) for at least
trying to participate. I hope that the difficulties didn't put anyone
off to the extent that they won't make the effort again next month.
P.S. As for time, try "man date" (from the CLI). Works every time. (Pun
Intended!)
