Went and gave my Linux On Laptops talk to the CLUE North folks tonight. It turns out the new meeting place they are using is about 2miles from my house. Super easy to get to, tons of parking. Got in and setup my laptop in the room. It did 1600x1200 quite clearly! I didn't have to bother changing resolution. They also had 802.11b wireless all setup and working there. Very handy. The talk went pretty well I thought. Had some good interaction with folks in the audience. After the talk some of us went and had a beer at the nearby CB and Potts

I left merlin out loose in the house muzzled. I got back after about 3 hours gone and everything was fine. No accidents in the house, everyone seemed fine (although happy to see me). I think merlin is adjusting well.
