In an effort to avoid more power outage issues and get the site a little faster and more reliable, I’ve migrated the site to a hosting provider. This of course comes with a few issues, so if something is broken, please let me know. This was an excuse to dispose of the rather ancient box that was hosting the site as well, so it was a plus for me on the power usage front.

Title: June Meeting 2012 Location: The Second Cup, Bells Corners Link out: Click here Description: No special topics, just some followup from last month. I might have a bit of documentation with me done in asciidoc and have the appropriate tools with me to go through the generation of the different output formats. Other topics welcome - anyone have a Raspberry Pi yet? How about an APC (not a UPS)?

Here are a selection of pictures. If you want to see more, check out the BSDCan page on facebook. There may be references back to these pictures, but there will be many others as well.

First thing, it was great to have a few more people at this meeting. Seven people is a step up our low numbers and hopefully we will attract a few more people. As we discussed, we will meet at The Second Cup in Bell’s Corners next month. They close at 21:00 now, so those who are in danger of pumpkin mode need not worry. I’ll drop the entry in the event calendar with a TBD for the topic.

Title: May Meeting 2012 Location: Tim Horton’s, 660 Eagleson Rd, Kanata Link out: Click here Description: It’s the week after BSDCan 2012 and a few of our regular attendees were at the conference as volunteers and attendees. Lots of interesting things, so perhaps a bit of a discussion of what went on at the conference is in order. iX Systems left behind a stack of PC-BSD 9.0 64bit DVDs and some FreeNAS 8.
