I really love food. Seems to make a small get together more enjoyable.
Will a simple potluck work for the others? (Just heard a medical report
that said we should really cut back on our red meat consumption.) :]

Maybe we should take a quick tally. I'm +1 for Friday.

minutes, but I couldn't demonstrate how to flash your router with it, or

do any hands-on stuff."

Let's change it to a single topic then?

I can borrow a projector and screen from my job if we need it. I also
have a laptop we can use to run the projector. My garage isn't headed,
so bring your jacket. :]

What do others think about this?  I remember back in the day we used to 
have 1 kind of high-level presentation (like maybe how to setup bind, 
for example) that we really tried to sink our teeth into, and then 
sometimes a second, fluffier, topic (eg. one time I did one on an early 
password manager desktop program).  I'm worried 2 30 minute 
presentations might be both too much for my brain, and not enough time 
devoted to a topic that might need it.  For eg., I could certainly 
introduce DD-WRT and go over the feature list and use-cases in 30 
minutes, but I couldn't demonstrate how to flash your router with it, or

do any hands-on stuff.

On that note, do we have a projector or large screen we can use for 
presentations??
