26/09/2008 - 18:00 26/09/2008 - 20:00 Etc/GMT+1 Some of you may know about my Drupal addiction - Drupal is the web site content management system we use for the MMUG site. Also, some of you have expressed an interest in knowing more about it. Drupal runs on OS X as well as Linux, so perhaps this isn't completelyoff topic. So, MMUG members might well be interested in this meeting, and are welcome to come! Venue: Trilby's New Studio Cost: £2 per person (includes wifi + coffee/tea/cold drinks) It's a completely open meeting, no experience with Drupal necessary. For the obsessive Drupalistas, bring your partners so that you can prove that you're not the only one. :-) Although not mandatory that you sign up, it would be helpful for you to visit, register and sign up at on the event I've added at the UK Drupal Group so we get an idea of numbers: http://groups.drupal.org/node/14929 Any other questions, please feel free to ask away. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I found this page at the swirly site only got me partly there. I also needed the APN, Username and Password stuff which I'd found in the process of trying to figure why EDGE didn't work on my iPhone - that was due to me NOT having the data bolt-on package.

iPhones are not the only fruit...With the Mac community currently caught up in the seemingly endless hype and speculation surrounding the iPhone, it is easy to forget that there are other smartphones out there that have been providing all the same functionality that the iPhone provides, and a whole lot more, for the last few years. Aside from the always-exquisite Apple industrial design and the slick multitouch interface, the iPhone's dirty little secret is that it offers nothing new over phones available three or four years earlier - Symbian-based smartphones such as the Sony Ericsson P910i, or a plethora of Windows Mobile based devices. Currently, anyone who wants a 3G wireless connection, or true GPS, or the ability to connect to a wide range of Bluetooth peripherals, or to run third party software without hacking their phone must look to other devices, many of which run some variant of the Windows Mobile OS, currently at version 6. read more » (2 votes)

The results are in from this year's competition and are listed below. You can see the photos in their full glory on the Mac Users UK web site. No winners from MMUG this year, but you can still see the photo our own Errol Brown submitted which won the Grand First Prize for 2007. read more »

I was sceptical at first and I wouldn't have got my iPhone except a colleague, (thanks Gavin) was over in New York and managed to get me a 4GB one for what ended up being about £160. Now I'm totally hooked. Not only does it do phone calls, but I can browse, play podcasts and you know the rest. If not have a look here. So with an American phone supplied with an AT&T SIM card how have I got it working over here? Well since the launch, folks have been hard at work hacking the way the phone works. Those clever l33t people have consistently managed to break away at Apple's locking techniques, most notably is ziphone.org. They provide a free tool to unlock a phone for use on any network in any country. read more » (3 votes)

I had a go at producing a diagram using Gliffy. It was free and I thought it would be a worthwhile thing to try for sharing network diagrams. What do you think? Entrance to the meeting is free for MMUG members or £3 for non-members and includes a raffle ticket. See our Membership page for details on joining the group.  The MMUG meetings are informal events, but include the following:
