Sad news...

13 Feb '13

It is with great sadness that I report that Doug Shewfelt passed away Sunday morning of a massive heart attack around 11:00am. Doug's passing was very quick and very quiet. Funeral arrangements are being made by the family. Details are not yet known, but the funeral will most likely take place in Manitou, MB, where Doug grew up, and where his mother still lives. (This will probably happen later this week.) I'll pass further information along when I have it. Doug was a fellow student with me, in the University of Manitoba's Computer Science Honours program, from 1979 to 1983. He then went on to work in IT for the City of Winnipeg, where he continued to work until this last weekend. He also went back to University, to obtain MSc and MBA degrees. He was active in the Manitoba UNIX User Group for over 20 years, and served as treasurer for most of that time. His "tech" interests also included amateur radio. His areas of interest were almost as numerous as his many circles of friends, who will greatly miss his endless curiosity, love of learning, generosity, and wonderfully quirky sense of humour. Farewell, Doug. Your 51 years on Earth ended far too soon! -- Gilbert E.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: System Call Tracing This month's presentation will feature Adam Thompson, who will show how to profile and troubleshoot UNIX processes without needing access to source code, through the use of system-call tracing. Learn where, when, why (and for a few of these, how) to use dtrace, dtruss, ftrace, ktrace/kdump, ltrace, LTTng, par, ProbeVue, ptrace, strace, System Tap, tusc, trace, and truss to find out exactly what that troublesome program is doing behind the scenes. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our *NEW* meeting location: Room 1L08, Lockhart Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence St. and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.
