  • Virtualized Storage Talk at WYLUG

    November 10th, 2008

    I’m doing a talk tonight about virtualizing your storage with LVM on Linux at the West Yorkshire Linux User Group. Sorry about the short notice here (it was announced earlier in the week elsewhere though).

    My mate Paul Brook is talking about RAID on Linux too.

    Come along for the talk, or the beer, or the socialising – or all three.

  • Leeds Ruby on Rails Talk

    June 5th, 2007

    Ruby on Rails logoI’m talking about Ruby on Rails at the West Yorkshire Linux User Group on Monday 11th June 2007. I’ll be covering what Rail is, how it works, and how you use it. Starts at 1900hrs at the E.C Stoner (snigger) Building at the University of Leeds. There follows a talk about Sun’s ZFS file system by Tom Hall, then we retire to The Victoria Hotel pub for some real ale and whatnot.

    I’ll be the tall one with the curly hair… stood at the front… talking about Ruby on Rails.

    Directions and stuff to be found on the WYLUG website.

  • Half a LUGRadio meet

    December 13th, 2005

    I met Stuart Langridge and Jono Bacon from LUG Radio last night as they came to Leeds where Jono talked at my local LUG. Wookey also gave a talk about the latest stuff going on in the Emdebian world.

    And of course I also met up with some of the WYLUG regulars (Robert Speed, Jim Jackson, James Holden, et al) and some perhaps not so regular (which would include me btw).

    We enjoyed the talks, went to a local Italian place for dinner then to a local pub. Was a great night.
