[SoCoSA/discuss] [SoCoSA/notify] Meeting: SoCoSA's future: tonight

[Walter Hansen]

With a stuffy nose and a slight fever, I'm not going to be there. Wasn't 
even at work although I logged into several servers and did stuff.

I think SoCoSA differs from NBLUG quite a bit in that Windows jockies 
aren't excluded. I get a windows secrets newsletter. A lot of my job 
involves windows. I'm actually better at windows gui than I am at Linux 
gui. In ether I tend to have lots of shell windows (to Linux servers) open.

Anyway I can't really help out, but I do like coming to meetings. I 
should really be in class tonight (marine electronics) and Tuesday is 
date night ($5 movie night) so I should be out with my wife, but we're 
both here in bed watching raymond and getting ready for our nyquil shots.
