Mr. Peanut

The next meeting will be on Thursday, May 12, at 6:00 PM. For more information about future meetings, see the web site www.k-lug.org.

Reminder:

>>The first Social will be at O'Neils at 6:00 on April 28.

The Social for May was not decided. Suggestions ranged from food/drink to pool to geeky movies. If you have an opinion, please post it on the mailing list.

The Load Monitor project will be done on an LCD screen. Ren Tesher and Denis Delorne volunteered to shop around for LCD display modules. Jim Henderson and Jim Evans volunteered to shop around for enclosures and bezels. Mark Harris and Brian Horihan volunteered to investigate connectors, shrouds, power supplies, and any other odds and ends required for the project. They will report their findings at the next meeting. At that point we will have a better idea of how much the kit will cost. At that point we will start collecting fees for the kits, so bring your piggy bank along.

Steve Fox reports that Bootcamp will not happen this month and that he expects it to happen in June. If you would like to volunteer, send him e-mail (drfickle@k-lug.org).

Kevin Arhelger demonstrated the MythTV box that he has been working on for the last few weeks. Despite the projector's font problems, it was most impressive.

Mark Harris presented a basic tutorial on kernel modules. He also covered the basics of standard parallel port operations. And to top it all off, he demonstrated the LED display that we talked about at the last meeting. It was very cool.

Finally, Dennis Delorne showed off his 4x20 LCD display, which he had set up to display CPU usage, memory usage, and a variety of other information.
