Hi all,

The Manlug meeting for May 2012 is taking place on 12th May, due to work
and holidays I've had to move it slightly, details below:

Location: Madlab. (Manchester Digital Laboratory).
Address: 36-40 Edge Street, Manchester. M4 1HN. -- (Between Thomas
Street and the Craft Centre, opposite A Bar Called Common)"
Date: Saturday, 12th May 2012
Starts: 14:00
Approximate finish: 17:00

Summary:
This is the postponed talk from last month and will be given by my good
self, it will be an introduction to MRTG (Multi Router Traffic Grapher),
requirements, how to install and how to draw pretty graphs of devices on
your LAN etc. I always get a tad suspicious when I see the lights on my
router flashing away like it's Christmas, ohh and I like to know what is
going on, this is a good start. I would suspect most would find it
useful to see what their home router is seeing, it is capable of much more.

Please come along, bring your friends and relatives, please feel free to
cross post this far and wide.

PS, a voluntary contribution of £1 -- £2 per person would be highly
appreciated to assist our good friends at Madlab in their day to day
running costs.

Notes:

1/ Manlug.org has been updated as above

2/ And to keep up with the crowd @man_lug has been tweeted to/on?,

thing personally.
