To do it right, replacing the missing keycap on Apple II #25 is going to be a little bit more trouble than you might think. Apple changed the font on the keycaps fairly early on. regards, Mike Willegal

Google Ads on VC Forum
by Evan Koblentz 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

A suggestion was made (I think by Bill Drom. or Todd?) at Festivus that we eliminate Google Ads over on VC Forum. The cabal huddled :) and we agreed that the ads aren't necessary. A magic button was clicked in the forum administrative panel, and POOF! No more Google Ads. (Ads served a purpose when it was Erik's personal site. Any funds they brought the Federation were too modest to be worth their annoyance.)

Festivus Success!
by Jeffrey Brace 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

I just wanted to send this out before I forgot and life gets busy again. I wanted to thank everyone who came to Festivus! It was a great success and we got about double the amount of people that we had last year. I was very grateful that we got the 9010-D space to use. A special thanks to those who helped me setup: Dan R., John and Amy C. And to those that helped with the cleanup: Jeff J., Mouse, Ian, Ryan, Connor. Thanks to Ian for bringing the games! They are always a hit. I was thinking about doing a survey to see what people liked or didn't like. I know that there were issues with running out of hamburgers and hot dogs. This was unprecedented how many we ate. Three times the usual amount. Well I wish everyone a Happy Festivus and hope the rest of your December is festive. Look forward to seeing everyone at the next workshop! -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Great Party
by Neil Cherry 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

I really enjoyed meeting everyone, it was good to see old faces and nice to meet new people. Jeff B, when I got home there were 2 video cables waiting for me. When I plugged it into the 1802 the video worked. I'll need to add the sound part of the cable but I can proceed as I know the Atari 800XL is working (and I can also test out the Atari 800's). My DHCP setup wasn't as good, I'm still working on why it starts up with no errors but won't server any requests. I'll need to break out Wireshark. -- 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
