The TV has a 6' VGA cable with plenty of slack if you sit at the small table under the TV. The cable has a DVI adapter on the end if you need it. We also have a projector with a VGA input, but no VGA cable, if someone wants to project something on a random wall and brings a VGA cable. :) There is also an Apple TV hooked up to the TV, and Skid was showing me all his new-fangled fanciness where you can wirelessly "project" your Apple computer (or iPad or iPhone) display to the TV if you spend $10 to buy AirParrot: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/15/airparrot-mirrors-your-mac-display-to-apple-tv-in-real-time/ (built into OS X Mountain Lion, whenever that comes out) From jay.hannah at iinteractive.com Sat Jun 9 08:13:27 2012 From: jay.hannah at iinteractive.com (Jay Hannah) Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2012 10:13:27 -0500 Subject: [Omaha.pm] July 10 meeting Message-ID: Thanks everyone who came out to Tuesday's meeting! I posted the next 2 meeting dates: http://odlug.org/ Any topic suggestions / requests / volunteers? I haven't presented in a while so I'll try to come up with something snazzy I can show off. My July plans haven't fully congealed yet. Not sure what dates I'm in Colorado. Any preferences on PKI vs. CoVisco as the meeting location? I defaulted back to PKI for no particular reason. I'm heading off to Wisconsin for YAPC next week. Woot!

(Within character classes "\b" represents backspace rather than a word boundary, just as it normally does in any double-quoted string.)
