The 9th September, 2006 was a special day for the Belrose Bowling Club. BUGS had their last meeting for 2006. We were their guests. I would like to thank all who attended for their contributions.

The phone sockets were dead. We made do with our own ad-hoc Local Area Network. This at least allowed us to concentrate on our talks. Of course, it was a pain to be without Terra-Earth's largest WAN.

JPEG & MiniDV Journal

We do have JPEG and DV 576i footage of the event. post-production will take time and we don't have an estimate yet. Check this page in a week.

Gestetner, Ye Old Duplicator

I would also like to thank all subscribed to the mailing list for not abusing the head counter:
