Nigerian network hack night: Thursday @ linuxcaffe

[David J Patrick]

this post went out a week ago, but only popped out of the que last night.
since then our deadline has been extended and missed again. We have one more
chance to get the stuff on the plane tomorow, and that is to configure
things like, TODAY, and then to BPX it to Ottawa tomorrow. It's less than
ideal, bu, hey, it's a window. the hardware awaits enthusiastic expertise.
If anyone is (capable and) up to it, let me know. Otherwise, we will build
it asap and attempt to arrange shipping through alternate route.

thanks,
djp
