[PLUG-TALK] Linux Clinic - Eclipse Edition

Many of you may think of Eclipse as a software development platform
written in Java.  But there is another kind of eclipse, written in
exatons of rock and executing in celestial mechanics.  When all the
rock is in column one, the cosmic operating system emits an optical
segfault and the Sun dims into a thin circle, an annular eclipse.  

That will be visible from Fujiyama in Japan on Sunday the 20th,
and we will show Panasonic's live webcast on the big screen during
Linux Clinic.  The show will repeats in the Big Blue Room over the
OMSI parking lot from 5 to 730 or so, with Rose City Astronomers. 
The weather forecast suggests this may occur in the Big Gray Room
instead, but at least it will get spooky dark for a while.

For those of you not planning to cower in fear under your beds on
Sunday, bring your computers and your Linux problems down to Free
Geek (1731 S.E. 10th) at 1 pm, and we will drive away the sun-
eating monsters (that means YOU, Larry!) until 5.  We have mice,
keyboards, monitors, wired and wireless internet, coffee, shamans,
magic spells, and disto CD amulets.  The sun may go away only 
temporarily, but we can make Windoze go away permanently.

Keith
