- forgot to sleep laptop, coming from CIC

electronic voting machines
- Awesie (to Kbare): Michael's starting to get to you, but you're still
somewhat sane

- broken, but sometimes works, rarely
- batch mumble, in a shell loop
- aarons marginally responsible, doesn't know why it's broken
- this is the dovecot setup
- seems to work after it restarts
- bincimapd sucked, but may have been more reliable
- Power outage coming
- November 11, sometime between 3:00am and 7:00am

(Keith?) turn things back on

- Later, retro-gaming event
- advertising, will KGB do it?
- usually they do minimal, announcement in meeting, bboard post

- plans, we should solidfy them
- which systems in which rooms
- which games
- should see if KGB folks have any particular interests
- taking over the Wean 53xx corridor
- doubling-up, will largely be due to magic-box compliance
- shipping for Japanese magic-box was very expensive
- about as much as the magic-box itself
- Michael is going to reverse engineer the Australian magic box, make
his own, sell them for lots of money

- will probably be most useful for things with RGB
- ZX Spectrum, Apple IIgs, Amiga
- will need to make RGB -> SCART cables (should work, assuming XRGB
does RGB SCART)
- Michael needs to order SCART connectors from Europe
- actually ordered them earlier, but they messed up, was too
expensive to have them fix it
- Saturday, uneventful
- Alex still working on NNTP
- 7 million articles need to be backfed, indium is slow, can only do
about 10 per second
- only about 1 million left
- in about a week, can move article number mastering over to
dubnium, switch to dubnium
- Rlane: found a new mail client. Has same 10 messages per second
problem, since it's written in ruby

- Server 2008, basically Vista, but it works
- will they make Vista work with service pack?
- no dropping Vista like its hot
- going straight to Windows 7
- will basically be service pack for Vista
- giving it a new name, nobody likes Vista, don't call it Vista
- also allows them to charge for it...
