Message-ID: <52418F55.9070205@ncsu.[redacted]>
Hello, LUGgers!
Tonight, we will have dinner at Amedeo's Italian Restaurant, 3905
Western Boulevard (on the SW corner of the intersection of Western and
Clanton, which is itself between Gorman and Method). Tonight, Amedeo's
has a 50% off discount for State students *with ID*.
If you need to take the bus, your best bet is to take the 5 Varsity
departing Carmichael Gym at 6:50. Pull the cord when you're passing the
McKimmon Center for the second time -- that'll get you to the corner of
Western and Gorman, which is most of the way there.
Dinner officially begins at 7:00, but we probably won't begin until 7:15
or so to account for anyone having a hard time finding the place. We
hope to see you there, and don't forget your ID!

Topic: Choosing a secondary DNS server, now with data!
Presenter: Aaron Joyner

Abstract:
Are you responsible for a DNS domain, perhaps professionally, or a
"vanity" domain for your personal email? Have you given much thought
to the DNS resolvers for that domain? Every domain requires at least
one DNS server, and everyone has probably heard that they should have
a geographically disparate secondary server to hedge against
catastrophic outages (network, building, etc). Assuming you don�t
have the luxury of a globally distributed set of datacenters, where
should your secondary DNS server be hosted? This talk will present
one man's quest to answer that question, along with the data used to
visualize and understand the available options. There will also be a
brief discussion of how that data was collected, and open source code
(in Go, http://golang.org) to do it yourself.

Message-ID: <5244F25D.3060907@ncsu.[redacted]>
Hello, LUGgers!
Next Tuesday, we have the honor of an incredibly rare speaking
engagement. Ian "ik" Kilgore, LUG member, graduate student, and esteemed
author of LOUDBOT, will present on machine learning.
Machine learning studies systems that can "learn" from data, like spam
filters, natural language processors, game AI's, real AI's, and so on.
We don't know exactly what applications he's talking about, but he has
informed us that it will "blow our minds."
When: Tuesday, October 1, 7:00 PM
Where: EB II 3001, same as last few times
Once you're in EB II, find a staircase, go all the way up to the 3rd
floor, and then move to the center of the building. 3001 is in the
bridge that connects the two halves of EB II.
We hope to see you there!

Hello, LUGgers!
Our next social dinner will be at the Neomonde Mediterranean Caf� and
Market. In my opinion, it's one of the the tastiest restaurants in
Raleigh, and even if you're not normally a fan of Mediterranean food,
they have all sorts of interesting things to eat.
Where: Neomonde, 3817 Beryl Road
When: Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 7:00 PM
If you're taking the bus, go to the north side of Hillsborough Street
and board a CAT 12 Method to Method Park -- it'll pass by at about 6:30
PM. (I'll be on that bus, so you can follow me to the restaurant from
there.)
Whether or not you're coming to dinner, go ahead and mark your calendars
for October 15 at 7:00 PM, the Tuesday after next, when we'll have a
workshop about creating open source games.
We hope to see you there!

Hello, LUGgers!
Next Tuesday, we're bringing a guest to campus. Jay "Gloryfish"
Roberts [1] is a Web developer who makes games and music for fun, and
he's going to talk about how to make games using open source tools:
specifically, the L�VE 2D framework. [2] Jay previously presented on
this topic at BarCamp RDU 2013, and it was a great success.
But, this meeting won't just be listening to Jay talk about stuff:
you'll have the chance to follow along on your own machine! L�VE is
easy to pick up and cross-platform. You can find a list of the
software you'll need here:

Hey folks! In addition to all of my other roles, I also happen to serve
as the chair of the IEEE Computer Society, and we're having ourselves a
meeting on Cybersecurity in the context of Nuclear Energy. It will be
held at NC State's Centennial Campus (Room still TBD) on Wednesday,
October 30 starting at 6:00 PM. Matt Gibson from Duke Energy will be
presenting.
Please RSVP here if you're interested. That way, when the room is
announced, we can let you know where it is!

Message-ID: <CAMjyYxq_RhF0aiSUwrpgV3kHjwj2OB_45dvC3145Jd3eRaJOAg@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Hello, LUGgers!
It's time now for an event we've been waiting about two years
for...the LANGUAGE WAR!
When: Tuesday, October 29, 2013, at 7:00 PM
Where: Engineering Building II room 1228
In the Language War, everyone gets to speak about why their language
is great, in three different ways! You don't have to present -- it's
completely OK to just sit in the audience and maybe heckle the
presenters. But if you want to participate, you may enter one language
in each category. The categories are:
* No one's heard of this language, but it's awesome
* Everyone says this language is horrible, but it's not
* This language is the best for learning programming
There are a few rules. The quick summary of those is:
Time: You get 2 minutes of uninterrupted propaganda, 3 minutes of
being grilled by the audience, and a 15-second closing statement
later.
Visual Aids: Any visual aids you use must be on the Internet, and
usable on whatever machine happens to be at the front of the room. We
don't want to deal with everyone's video cables.
Conduct: Don't insult people. Don't stereotype people. Don't
physically attack people.
Winner: There isn't one. Nobody wins in a language war.
The rules, and an advance signup sheet for participants, are posted here:
http://lug.ncsu.edu/wiki/2013-10-29_Language_War/
If you have an idea you think would improve the language war, or think
the rules are unfair, reply to this post on the mailing list. Either
way, we hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Matthew Frazier
