Well, they are disabled at the moment due to a problem with the RSS
feed. After having it brought to my attention a few days ago, I finally
had a chance to have a look and it seems that the combination of plugins
I have all work except the nextgen gallery, so I’ll be messing around
with gallery plugins for a little bit and update the posts when I get it
fixed. Lucking there are only a small number that reference galleries.
We did not manage to get through all of the items I wanted to discuss,
however I did manage to hit all of the bullet points that were posted
for the meeting. That leaves me with a few topics for the next meeting,
so all is good.
I have mentioned AsciiDoc numerous times in the past and I still think
it has great utility. I’m trying to keep documentation in that format,
as it can be read as simple text as well as used to generate very nicely
formatted output in formats suitable for printing, web pages, etc. It
seems that this was also noted by some people in the Ruby arena and they
created
Asciidoctor. From the official
website, we get the following description:

The August meeting came around a little earlier than expected with the
third Thursday being on the 15th. We have a few topics for discussion,
including:
- A tool for Ruby documentation
- A couple of pictures from SysAdmin Day
- Data logging with a RPi
- Charting services for web enabled devices. The internet of things is
being tracked
- A couple of comments on the OCLUG meeting on SUSEstudio and BTRFS
- The usual open call for more topics
For anyone interested, the full LISA'13 registration will be opening
next month, so if you are going, you might want to sign up early. The
current list of training is available as a PDF download from the usenix
site.

We had a successful SysAdmin Day get together. Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures.

In our case, it’s an excuse for a small party. Come out and there will
be no fixing of computers, networks or security audits.
