Not since my last TriLUG meeting, several years
ago, had I attended any kind of
LUG meeting. Last
night I decided to give my local UUG a go.
A friend of mind had told me about the Tidewater Unix User's
Group (TWUUG) a couple of years ago but I put
it in the back of my head and didn't think about it much. Luckily for
me I decided to go, last night, and see what the group is all about.
I'm not sure what I was expecting but what I found was good group of
geeks that had assembled to learn more from one another. While an
informal presentation was given on a program named hardinfo others
people in the group were helping provide answers to questions that went
far further into computer engineering than I had expected to be asked.
But isn't that what it's all about? You see something, want to know
more about it, and then ask the question hoping the presenter will be
able to answer the question. But it doesn't have to be the presenter or
any single person that has to be able to answer that question because we
are a community and we help each other.
So on my calendar on the first Thursday of the month will be TWUUG. If
you are down in the Norfolk area during that time you should stop by and
say hi!
