I looked at the site - EOTW.com.au (by the Aus Web Industry, formerly
"Port 80", and I remember them starting) is set for Thurs 28 Jul - Fri
29 Jul. Thats three months away. We'll probably be well rehearsed by
then - if we can get some more people to turn up. Having pretty much
just Jason and me on Tuesday was a little light on manpower.

Well, if nothing else its an opportunity to refine skills.

Please do. Also, their site says its at "the University Club" - what
club? Where abouts on campus? What lecture theatre(s), or do they mean
at UCC in the loft?

On "knowledge harvesters" (nice term):

Well, for PLUG, that's 40 members, 350 on list - roughly 90% of the PLUG
community are not PLUG members. On this list (AV): 9 people, with posts
only from pretty much everyone (thanks all for playing).

Not to worry, we've got stuff to play with an achieve!
