Typo correction as noted; sorry about that.....

Hey everyone,

Timely pre-weekend reminder here that the first
BerkeleyLUG meetup of the month is this upcoming
Sunday, November 11th, "officially" happening from
12Noon to 3pm Pacific STANDARD Time (UTC-08:00)
at Berkeley's 85C Bakery; www.85cbakerycafe.com
The BerkeleyLUG meetup notice is also listed at
www.berkeleylug.com/meetings .
Unofficially, some of the BerkeleyLUG participants
have regularly hung-on at 85C Bakery working on
various projects and/or engaging in discussion/training
even well past 3:00pm.

85C Bakery is located at 21 Shattuck Square in Downtown
Berkeley; the Southeast corner of Shattuck and University.
When you enter the main doors of the bakery/cafe, turn
left to look for the longer table that we've regularly
held the meetup; it's on the first floor next to the
East wall and is fairly-decently handicapped-accessible.

Please be aware that following Michael P's previous
pre-1:00pm WiFi access reports, 85C Bakery's own WiFi
coverage to the meetup table has had the dubious history
of afterwards becoming noticeably spotty or even absent.

In any case, those of you dropping by this Sunday
for the meetup are welcome to bring along extra
surge-protected power strips and long, grounded
extension cords for powering the various computing
devices you're bringing along with you.

Cheers!
-A

Have had 4 of us here so far ...
Wi-Fi ... it's "improved" ... uhm, yeah, ...
they added signs to their doors that it's not working. 8-O
Anyway, have Internet from Wi-Fi provided off cellular hot spot from
at least one attendee, anyway.
And do have AC power.

Oh, and someone brought toilet paper ... as the one single occupancy
restroom here that generally has a line anyway almost never has
toilet paper (etc.) ... but that person may be headin' out early with their
toilet paper anyway.

Hmmm, some of their recent reviews, appropriately, haven't been so
great:

Maybe we ought "shop" for a new venue? Or soon? Or start a new location
beginning of next year?

Jack,

I'm aiming/hoping/targeting to have the
BerkeleyLUG.com WordPress migrated by
<= 2019-08-27T09:53:17Z (6 months after I was notified of having
been granted admin access on the site)
I'll update when it's completed.
I'm certainly hoping to have it done by then,
I'll let you know if for any reason it might take
bit longer.

Details ...:
Most notably, I need to refactor my Apache configuration -
it's gotten rather big and complex - many sites, various
configurations on each, etc. It has lots of use of
Include and IncludeOptional - which is kind'a good,
as that consolidates a lot of otherwise redundant stuff,
but it needs to be better consolidated/organized - notably
to get the wordpress bits in there appropriately for the relevant
virtual site(s), and not for the other(s), etc. (and generally
manage the whole web server thingy better).
