Ah, he must have simply forgotten, what with the recent addition of twins. I'll make sure he's confirmed.

Jim, I had first made contact with Patrick and then letting others continue the scheduling. Ann E. W. has said she did the miss scheduling for August meeting.
But I think Patrick says that he would do the October meeting.
As to my opion who should speak I could go for any you suggested in today balug-admin posting.
Am I wrong in my thought that Patrick saying hr would speak in October?

Hi Larry,
Oct 17th looks good on my schedule. The anniversary of the 1989 earthquake seems appropriate somehow. ;-)
I look forward to seeing you at the show on the 16th. Ann, I hope you feel better. :-)

Thanks for the note.
The Splunk LinuxWorld party, which I'm managing, is indeed taking place on the 15th in the evening.
I regret, with the timing mixup, that I will not to be able to speak on the 15th. I am still very interested in participating at a future event. Perhaps October or November. (Sept will likely be tough with the pregnancy). Let me know if either of those times work for you.
BTW: Splunk , DIGG, Slash, USENIX and others are having a contest called SysAdmin of the year. Www.sysadminoftheyear.com. The first 2500 nominations receive a free THinkgeek Tshirt. It might be of interest to your LUG.
Are you going to be at LinuxWorld. Perhaps we can meet there.

Hi Patrick, I waited to here from you today. I hope you can make the August meeting but can understand if it will not work. Hope all goes well with the addition to your family! Please let me know so as to update web site if needed. Larry On Mon, 31 Jul 2006, Patrick McGovern wrote:

Hi Larry, Thanks for the note. I still might be able to do the 15th...I should know tomorrow morning. The 19th of Sept...may work. My wife is pregnant with twins and the due date is essentially at that time. There is a reasonable change that I might be a new father at that time....dealing with the panic of trying to take care two two day old screaming kids. I think this month or October would be better. Let me get back to you tomorrow morning. I'll know if we're having an event on the 15th. I'm sorry to hear that Ann is going under Chemo. I seem to know too many people going through that right now. I'm hope she feels better soon. Pat- -- Patrick McGovern pat@splunk.com When it rains it pours IT data. Get Splunk. On Jul 31, 2006, at 11:44 AM, Larry Platzek wrote:
