I’m not sure if it was late yesterday or early this mornong, but we are
now a recognized
LOPSA affiliate
(the first in North America). We have been asked if we wish to be a
local chapter, but that requires 12 members who are members of LOPSA and
at my last count, there were only 4 LOPSA members and we don’t have 12
regular attendees. Perhaps this will change over the next few months,
especially as we get started on the new education project. More info at
tonight’s meeting.
I guess I have to learn how to sleep. It’s 02:44 and I have no desire to
go to sleep. I despise DST and the circadian rythm it upsets.
I was browsing some items at the
LOPSA site the
other day and ran across a reference to the 4-question test and a blog
article. I hadn’t heard of the 4-question test before, so I had to go
and read about it. Here is the result, which probably has a few other
formats, but the version I’m using is this one.
We have a new home.
Thanks to Brenda, we have the use of the board room at Fidus to hold our
meetings. I’m not going to change the location item until after the
first successful meeting. (March 15, 2007)
I’ll have to put together a sponsor page and acknowledge Fidus for the
use of their facility. It’s only fair.
The details that I have been given.

Yep, Sunday night. Tomorrow starts another week of the standard stuff…
or does it?
I have spent some time adding new modules and things to the site, but
not all of it is configured yet. I cleaned up the non-logged in main
page to add info about the meetings, as it didn’t make sense to not have
that on there. I also discovered that once you disable anonymous access
from a number of items, everything vanishes when you are not logged in.
The obvious fix would be to allow anonymous access to nodes, which makes
a whole bunch of stuff visible, as everything is a node, but now nothing
is hidden. Back to the drawing board and that is what resulted in fixing
up the main page.
