There is a Remove Formatting icon (Tx) at the bottom of the email editing window in Inbox by Google. This should be in plain text. Ivan.

I nearly sent this out in HTML. Gmail gives you the option of plaintext but not Inbox by Google.

I was surprised that some ASUS ZenBook Pros carry a Thunderbolt port. https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ZenBook_Pro_UX501/specifica… Stupid question, does linux have drivers for TB. Ivan. P.S. If this doesn't appear as plain text, please tell me and I will fix it.

dinner before meeting
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

It's getting late to decide. Gordon (I think) suggested a while back that we have dinner at Ethiopiques as a special occasion. When we ate there once before, dinner was very good, a little more expensive than our usual places, and quite slow. It would be wise to move the start time to 17:45 sharp, I think. The best way to eat ethiopian food is "family style" with communal dishes. Unless everyone jumps in and says "yes" right away, I think that this is too little lead time. For myself, I'm happy to say yes. In case we don't get enough enthusiastic yes's soon (who will decide?), I will tentatively declare Banh Mi Boys (399 Yonge St.) to be the primary target for dinner. In case that is closed, our secondary target is Donair Kebab House 391 Yonge St. Both are on the east side of Yonge, close to Gerrard. Rebellion welcomed. I never wanted to be the dinner dictator.

Emulating a USB keyboard using ???
by William Park 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hi guys, Do you know a way to emulate a USB keyboard using Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, ODROID, or some other embedded board? That is, as far as PC is concerned, it's receiving keypresses from some keyboard. I know those boards have UART pins. But, even if I connect the pins to a serial-to-USB cable, the USB end of the cable will show up as serial (/dev/ttyUSBx) and not as keyboard. I have such a cable, and that's what I see. -- William
