linuxNUS Install Fest is Tomorrow!
Yeah, there's an Install Fest in NUS tomorrow, organised by linuxNUS.
Venue:SOC1 #03-17
Date: Feb 5 2009, Thursday (TOMORROW!)
Time: 6.30pm
More information at linuxNUS website.
Anyway, I think I may be going there at 7.30pm. It's a long time since I met the folks for dinner. 
Lurker: A good mailing list message archiver?
Spent some time searching for a good mailing list that can run off a user directory, and found this gem along the way.
Lurker digests emails from designated mailing lists and displays them nicely in a threaded forum-style html page. Like a forum, one can start a new thread, reply to posts, file attachments, and many more. Neat huh?
Sharity Elephant Donation Drive!
Yeah, I was part of a charity donation drive organised by linuxNUS, donating food for the Boys Brigade Sharity Gift Box. The donation drive was launched only 2 days before the end of the event, but we managed to collect $100 even without much publicity. 
In total we bought 60kg of rice, 2 big tins of Ovaltine, and 5 boxes of cerals.
Things could have been organised better if we had a few more days though. Maybe we could source for wholesale distributors to buy the food, or find someone willing to transport the food we bought from the distributors. Next time then.
Warm and fuzzy feeling...
