Before October completely runs away from me, let me invite you to this month's meeting at the Tasman Quartermaster's Arms (note not our regular meeting place!) on Wednesday 19th October. I was going to have it on Thursday but it's Show Day and places are closed so I've put it on Wednesday again. However being the night before a public holiday means you can have a few more drinks. It's also my birthday so you can come along and call me an old bastard. We'll be upstairs at the Quartermaster's Arms for dinner, drinks and a discussion by Peter Lawler on his recent attempts at brewing beer and using open source to control the brewing process. Come and listen find some great ideas and the failures along the way. Peter has been using the Beaglebone Black for a while and has been looking at the real time control units on the board. Could I please get an idea of numbers attending - please send me an RSVP by email. Tasman Quartermaster's Arms is at 134 Elizabeth St Hobart. We'll be there from 6pm. -- -- Scott Bragg From vk7krj at vk7krj.com Thu Oct 6 18:48:59 2016 From: vk7krj at vk7krj.com (vk7krj) Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:18:59 +0930 Subject: [Taslug] small android tablet wanted Message-ID: Hi All, I'm looking for a small (7 inch or so) android tablet, doesn't need much in the way of resources as all it has to do is run Subsonic and stream music over the wireless network to my shed so I can have music while I make bigger bits if metal in to smaller bits. I currently have one of the small pendo tablets, but it has now got to the point where it spends 5 to 10 minute (yes, minutes...) buffering before playing a few seconds of music- then buffering again. This is in between needing to be rebooted because it has a problem with the network, or refusing to respond to the screen. When I get back from granddad duties, it is heading for a meeting with the bandsaw- it might not fix it, but it will make me feel a whole lot better! Peter, if you are reading this, get well soon mate. Ken.
