If we can't have an email like custom@custom.[redacted] then all that work will

Hey everyone! I hope your weekend is getting off to a great start!
The blog has been updated with information regarding next Tuesday's
meeting: http://lug.ncsu.edu
As a reminder, we will be meeting on August 23rd at 7:00pm in EBII Room
3001.
From now on, the blog will be an ideal source for information and
updates regarding the club, so hopefully your email inbox won't be quite
as clogged by my verbose LUG updates.
See you all on Tuesday!

Huzzah for Linux! Also note that the LUG@NCSU is one of the oldest
surviving LUGs (Fall of 1994, 22 years old!), outlasted only by (as far as
I can research) 2-4 other LUGs.
