Meeting on 24th January?
by Ian McDonald 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

It looks like there is a meeting on 24/1 according to the Wiki but I've seen no reminder... Can anybody confirm one way or the other? I'd like to go so I can hand over my membership forms and pay my cash since I'm already quite good at sending all sorts to the mailing list ;-)

library books/cdroms
by John R. McPherson 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Hi everyone, just a general reminder that WLUG has a bunch of books and cdroms to lend out to paid-up WLUG members. We've recently received a few review copies of new books, so feel free to borrow any and post a review of it onto the wlug website. http://library.wlug.org.nz/show.pl?recent=10 There's a meeting next Monday so we can arrange to bring any requested books along (and if you have an issued item this would be a good opportunity to return it). Lastly, we can ask for more review copies of things if people request them. If you would like us to acquire something, go to the http://www.wlug.org.nz/WantedBooks wiki page and feel free to edit it, adding the publisher, book name, and your name in the appropriate place.

Hi I have left a copy at the reception of Computerland in Collingwood Street for you if you can get it. If not, then I will arrange to get the balance of the discs to the next LUG meeting. It is there under your name - Frank (to avoid confusion).

Hi The site is very specific about shipment times and release times and they document this well. The orders it seems are processed in South Africa and shipped from Switzerland (well mine was, but it is a small world anyway). Mine took a while (about 6 weeks), but I am sure the Xmas rush is to blame. The balance of the CDs I will try to get to the next meeting and whoever wants can grab.

The guys that have received theirs so far, about how long did it take for them to arrive after ordering? And which country were they dispatched from do you know? > Hi > > I have left a copy at the reception of Computerland in Collingwood Street for you if you can get it.

Configuring konqueror/kate in KDE
by Glenn Ramsey 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hi, I have a Debian machine and a Mandrake machine both running KDE. I have configured the default text editor on both to be kate so that if I double click a file in konqueror it opens in kate. If I double click a second file in konqueror then on the Debian box it opens as another tab in the already running instance of kate, but on the Mandrake box it opens in a new instance of kate. How do I configure the Mandrake box to act like the Debian box? Ie a subsequent file is opened in an already running instance of kate if one exists. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
