Meetup, Campus
Aug. 8th, 2002 08:10 pmThe day before yesterday was when the Linux Meetup Event was scheduled. It had been scheduled to meet in the same place that my Livejournal Meetup had been—to wit, a parking lot—but the Meetup people had noticed and rescheduled it for a non-parking lot venue. As it happened, a venue that was actually familiar to the Linux folks, since the Library Center was where the normal Linux user-group meetings were held anyway.
A few of us got together, hung out, shot the breeze for a few hours, then I headed home. On the way, I stopped in at a new pizza place that was on the way back—called "Ultimate Pizza" or something, located on South Campbell where the Hasting's used to be. I was pleasantly surprised; the pizza buffet was reasonable ($5.99, plus just 25 cents extra for a drink) and delicious, there were both public eating areas and closed-off rooms where the loudspeakers didn't blare, and there were a lot of cool-looking video and ticket games and Go-Karts and bumper cars and things that work off of a debit-card-style system, sort of like SMSU's Zip Cards or Kinko's Copy Cards. You pay money to charge the card, then swipe the card into the games and things. Anyway, I was impressed enough that I submitted it as a potential meetup site for meetup.com.
( Trip to campus, new library annex )
This morning, I posted a look at the rumors surrounding the leaked photo of Palm's latest prototype, the "Oslo" OS 5 machine, on Writing On Your Palm. Feel free to take a look.
