FalkirkLUG

December 1st, 2009

Well, tonight was my (and Calum’s) second FalkirkLUG meeting.  We did flash talks this evening, which are basically small 5 minute(ish) talks about a chosen subject. I’m going to assume Calum will do a post about his talk, however.

I did my talk on bash (Bourne Again Shell), which is the default linux/unix shell. If you are a Linux user, then you are probably familiar with bash, or the terminal as a whole as it is very useful (it is also a lot more powerful than the windows command prompt). If you would like more info on this, just check out the Wikipedia page or something, because quite frankly, its too much effort to type it all out!

Well, if you are a Linux user in the Falkirk area, I strongly suggest you join FalkirkLUG. All the necessary info is on the page that the image on the right links to.

All in all, I think I have advertised enough.. So yeah.. Linux + FalkirkLUG are awesome.

Big in Falkirk

Entering Big in Falkirk

Well, Big in Falkirk was last weekend and it was a lot of fun. I didn’t go last year but decided to go this year and I’m glad I did. The main reason that we went to BIF was because Love Over Gold were playig that day.

Ross M, Eden, Steven and a few other of our friends found the wonderful game of ‘Touch it’ which is basically a game of tig, but with random people and the people who are ‘tug’ are not allowed to know about it. So it’s nothing at all like tig. Ross M is the master of Touch It as you may know if you’re following his Twitter or have seen his IM name. ‘Touch it’ is quite fun but none of us were getting away with such marvelous Touches as Ross was (A policeman was but one of his victims). Other than Touch It I basically took pictures of every single interesting person that I could find. You can find them all in my Flickr and you’ll also find a few pictures of ‘Touch it’ in there.

There are also a lot of pictures of Love Over Gold if you want to check those out although I think that Myspace plugs would be preferred. I didn’t really pay attention to the music because I was taking photographs, but what I did here was really good, I always enjoy the style of Love Over Gold’s music and hope they keep doing gigs and making music

I don’t really have much else to say right now so… BYE,
