Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.

Before that, for our mini-presentation of a “desktop app”, Brad Vokey did a quick demonstration of his favorite GUI text editor: Sublime Text - “Text Editing Done Right”. Sublime Text is a fast, mature, light weight, beautiful, customizable, expandable, cross-platform, “shareware” text editor. Brad has previously written about Sublime Text in the MUUG 2021-06 newsletter (page 5), and he now gave us a quick intro into some of its features that he found most useful.
/bin Diving/bin directory?
Some of us could probably count on our hands the number of binary commands
we actually run on a regular basis,
but if we look inside we see thousands of installed binaries
(2,691 on this editor’s system to be precise).
So what the heck are all these and what are they for?
Well what better way to find out than dive in head first
and pick something at random.
In the premiere of the /bin Diving segment,
Gilbert Detillieux will randomly select a command from the
/bin directory and attempt to learn how to use it.
This will be an opportunity for some group participation as we
attempt to learn a new command and do something useful with it!
Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the rest of the current year. We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of each month.
We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.
For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.)
For those having video performance issues, Alberto posted some useful tips on hardware acceleration settings to the roundtable mailing list.
