We didn't do any computer work, choosing to survey some of our existing sites and evaluate immediate love needs in the context of upcoming events -- mainly the BTG Show and Tell event and the Auto Show Shutdown on Feb 8th and 9th respectively. We planned our attack and made concrete lists of TO-DOs.

Mercury Cafe - 'provisional' no longer
Submitted by todd on Mon, 2007-10-08 10:39When we were in for our meeting last week, we noticed that the Mercury Cafe had replaced their wireless access. The new one is running WPA encryption and the key is posted by the register. My linux laptop connected readily and without incident. At this point, we're calling the Mercury Cafe our new home.
