A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person
and online...

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, October 1st, at 7:30pm.  Yes, that's the
FIRST Tuesday of the month...

    Scripting Awk

    Kevin McGregor will provide a short presentation on some use cases
    for Awk in shell scripts.

    RTFM: /bin Diving

    Have you ever noticed how many things are in your /bin directory?
    Some of us could probably count on our hands the number of binary
    commands we actually run on a regular basis, but if we look inside
    we see thousands of installed binaries (2,691 on this editor?s
    system to be precise). So what the heck are all these and what are
    they for? Well what better way to find out than dive in head first
    and pick something at random.

    In the premiere of the /bin Diving segment, Gilbert Detillieux
    will randomly select a command from the /bin directory and attempt
    to learn how to use it. This will be an opportunity for some group
    participation as we attempt to learn a new command and do
    something useful with it!

    Where to find the Meeting:
    Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2

    We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has
    graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person
    meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual
    meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the
    most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner
    of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below).
    You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that
    say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering
    unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150
    meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for
    Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27
    are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.

    For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the
    meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay
    tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which
    will be made available about a half hour before the meeting
    starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there
    are issues with connecting.)

The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* 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.
