I'm back! Missed me? Hopefully so. It's been a bit, so surely there's something to show, right? As always, both in person at and online:

See all y'all in October!

New Pi Pico

 

I'm excited about this:

Decommissioned IBM blade server giveaway

 

Due to downsizing and moving from Plano to a smaller location in Whitney TX, l am giving away an older, decommissioned IBM blade eServer model X306. Unit is 19” rack mount with two 80GB disks included. No cables. Powered up for me without a problem about a year ago. Probably contains an ancient version of Windows. If interested, email me at: KE5VCT@... for handover logistics. Mike

Yay, I'm self-propelled again, no longer confined to quarters. Means that whoever feels like braving this Texas summer might join in person, as always at

If not, there's always Zoom.

Who has something to show, let me know!

Update for Jon Jentink meeting

 

Hi,

As you may know, Jon (J) Jentink passed away June 27, 2024, at his home near Diana, Texas.

There will be a get-together for his friends and acquaintances Sunday, July 21, at 3 PM at the Cheddar’s restaurant at 700 West LBJ Freeway in Irving, Texas. It’s southeast of the intersection of LBJ and MacArthur Boulevard.

We are hopeful that his long-time caregiver Denise will come from East Texas and join us.

If you are can come, please let me know. This will be a good opportunity to share a meal and remember J.

DFWRPI 07/2024

 

And now for something entirely different: just in case you are still somewhat functional after Independence Day, there's, as always, the DFWRPI Usersgroup Meeting. Though, this month there's a change.

I'm recovering from a hip replacement, and I'm not supposed to drive, so we'll have this one virtual, online only, so NOT IN PERSON at the lab. Everything else is same old, same old. You are not getting rid of me that easily.

So, here we go:

J was an active member of the Dallas/Fort Worth Unix Users Group, the North
Texas Linux Users Group, and the Dallas Raspberry Pi Users Group. He was
also an Expert-rated ham radio operator interested in QRP transmission and
devices.

In lieu of a religious service, we are thinking of a memorial service to be
held at a DFW-area restaurant where we can talk about his life. I am
thinking of doing this next weekend, July 6 or 7, perhaps around 1 PM.

Please let me know if this seems reasonable to do, or if you have other
suggestions of how to honor J.
