Ubuntu => It Meeting

[Cloggie]

I'll be there tonight.

Who was bringing the HDMI cable for the demos?

Collin doe you have a HDMI cable as dharmabm doesn't have one

Thanks

[urandom]

hey all - turns out i don't have an hdmi cable after all, i have s-video and a rather long svga. @ urandom - since you are doing the presentation tonight, you have vga output? i'm betting on that over s-vid, but i'll bring both just in case.

k

in fact, that's the only video output I have, VGA...

also, as some of you know, I'm in a huge sh1tstorm at work since a few months/weeks and couldn't prepare anything (slides, docs, etc...) for tonight... but I can still do the presentation - in a freestyle fashion - and post the references on the forum after... sorry about that guys, I can do it, no problem, but I wish I could make it more seriously.

[ColinChapman]

Sorry, I don't have HDMI, but I think most LCD TVs have a VGA input on the back (the blue, D-shaped, 15 pin connector), so that should be OK if we can gain access to the back of the TV. Can anyone remember how tight to the wall it is?

Hi All,

Just wanted to say thank you to Urandom for his demonstration of compiling a Linux kernel on Wednesday. I think I even understood most of it. Not sure what the other patrons must have thought about the TV showing what looked like excerpts from "The Matrix" instead of football!

[WilliamSandin]

When is the next meeting supposed to be?

Urandon,

Thank you very much for the demonstration as well. I am yet not at that level - compiling linux kernels - but who know if I study it long enough, I will do it just as easy as you did it during the demo.

Thanks again,

When is the next meeting supposed to be?

Next time will be either June 8th or June 9th - let see what the IT members vote for.

I think this happened after you left, but a few of us were discussing the idea of moving around to different locations each month. maybe too late at this point for the next meeting, but it would be nice to get around to different pubs on occasion, especially for those of us who don't get out much. ;>} At least let's start the discussion.

No problem to move around different bars in Bangkok.

Just make sure the location is close to the skytrain as I park my car at On Nut / take the bus to Ekkemai if I come from Pattaya

Let see what other people think about it.

Can we make it Wednesday 8th June so it doesn't clash with Beercamp? I'm not sure if there will actually be a Beercamp, but if they happen, they are always on Thursdays, so Wednesday would be safe.

[Crushdepth]

BTW I'll be getting back earlier than I first thought, so any day is ok for me.

[Cloggie]

Gentlemen,

Let's make it then June 8th, Soi 8 Bar, Sukhumvit Soi 8 - for all newcomers start is around 07:00pm

Hope to see you all again and hopefully some new members as well....

Cheers,

Cloggie

[Crushdepth]

You're scaring me man :-)

[urandom]

[dharmabm]

[justsumhelp]

Hello,

Enter Soi 8 bar and walk straight, we will sit in the left corner of the bar.

Just look for the "Jasager"

See you tonight.

Cheers,

Cloggie

[ColinChapman]

Also as it will be my first meeting, I been to the bar before but where does everyone congregate?

I do remember someone failed to find us once, so just for clarity: we sit in the restaurant area at the back of the bar, straight in line with the door. (You can't walk in a straight line, you have to go right and left round the end of the bar that divides the main bar area from the restaurant area.)

Dear all,

Last night we had a new IT meeting in Soi 8 Bar, Sukhumvit Soi 8 in Bangkok.

Several new people showed up, Rijkes, William Sandin, Kenny, Justsomehelp, KMBKK (guy with the NEC notebook) - did I miss anybody?

Almost forgot, we even have a female member.....

This time we needed even several tables as the usual table was to small!

As proposed by William / Kenny idea is to move this IT-meeting group to be a chapter of www.2600.com - no Thai 'chapter' yet

Kenny offered us to register the domain name + hosting the site

If we agree I will contact 2600.com and see if we can move to something like www.BKK2600.org ( other suggestions???) and have our own website listed at http://www.2600.com/...ings/pages.html

Next month Thursday July 7th new IT meeting in Soi 8 bar with a demo of William, very interesting subject (maybe we should ask Sony to attend the meeting...) details will follow later

Please your comments.

Cheers,

Cloggie

Dear

Do you agree with the postings below, is / are certifications useless?????

Please your comments.

[justsumhelp]

It depends what you equate worth to, if you get these to advance in a job career or get a job I doubt they are highly valued, I know U.S. high-school offer alot of these certificates for free to students. If you are getting them to learn just for the benefit of knowledge then sure why not learn it wont hurt. But a much cheaper and better in my own opinion is just go to a local college and look at what computer courses they offer, then just ask the professor if you could sit in on a few classes because you have a computer hobby and are interested in learning .

[WilliamSandin]

I think it depends what part of the IT industry you are into.

For networking I know the higher level certifications ie. CCIE makes a very, very big difference.

For Linux you got the RHCE, RHCA

Security there is the Offensive Security certifications, CISSP, CCSP etc

Problem is that there is only the few certifications (CCIE, RHC*, Offensive Security) were they have practical lab examinations, rather than choosing the right answer from: 1 / X / 2. These should be very valuable knowledge for any IT engineer - while the others seem to be more suitable for people that don't work with that particular technology, but need an understanding for it. I don't know about the training courses for these though, they might be very good. It seems like a fair few of them are more oriented around passing the exam than the technical area itself.

Look forward to the next meeting, it was good fun!

whens the next meeting,july 7?
