InfoAge and the VCF Museum are closed today Saturday, 10/11/26 due to heavy rains and intermittent power outages. There is no indication as to the cause of the power outage, but it is localized to a small area of the neighborhoods around InfoAge. The heavy rains are due to the remnants of hurricane Isaiah. Take care!

Reposting this on the VCF list: We have a request to run the class again for some people that were unaware of the class being taught. So Neil and i have decided to teach the class again starting on Oct 28,2026 and running for a total of 4 Wednesdays not 5. *BUT* We will only run the class if 5 or more or more people sign up for the class and prepay the tuition in cash or check before the class starts. The deadline will be SUNDAY OCT 25, 2026. joe (and Neil) -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
