MUUG Monthly Meetings for 2024-25


Please note our current meeting location: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2

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. 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.

MUUG meetings also take place online (typically using BigBlueButton) for those who can't be there in person. Meeting link will be provided on the home page, prior to meeting start time.

September 3, 2024: Fly light!, plus Sublime Text

Kevin McGregor provided a gentle introduction to the lighttpd web server. “lighttpd (pronounced lighty) is a secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible web server that has been optimized for high-performance environments. lighttpd uses memory and CPU efficiently and has lower resource use than other popular web servers. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and much more) make lighttpd the perfect web server for all systems, small and large.”

Before that, for our mini-presentation of a “desktop app”, Brad Vokey did a quick demonstration of his favorite GUI text editor: Sublime Text - “Text Editing Done Right”. Sublime Text is a fast, mature, light weight, beautiful, customizable, expandable, cross-platform, “shareware” text editor. Brad has previously written about Sublime Text in the MUUG 2021-06 newsletter (page 5), and he now gave us a quick intro into some of its features that he found most useful.
