[Eug-lug] Gnoppix Ubuntu LiveCDs at meeting tomorrow

[fleming.j at comcast.net]

 Are you on the other side of the international date line? I have wed 1/5/5 
> 18:48 hrs here in Eugene
Only if eugene is occupying other dimensions. (Not completely unbelievable if you
have talked to anyone at the Saturday Market lately)
I believe it has something to do with the mail server at comcast. I was using Mozilla
Thunderbird quite nicely until they updated the server and now Thunderbird and Mozilla won't get my e-mail anymore. So I use the web interface through Mozilla.
The battle for our very souls continues as we speak.
