<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2017-11/> # Building a 3D printer from scratch with Alex Volkov Building a 3D printer from scratch may be easier than making an apple pie from scratch! In this talk Alex will talk about getting into 3D printing 'the hard way' by building a clone of Prusa i3 MK2 from scratch using bits of wood, some metric hardware, arduino, 3D-printer and 3D printed parts, then attempting to design and print. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.

Flatpak: Anyone with Experience or Opinions on It?
by Brad Fonseca 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hello, I've seen this new technology (or not new...I'm not sure...it appears to be a new name for xdg-app) pop up on various forums. I had a look at their web site (http://flatpak.org/index.html#page-top) but haven't really investigated it with any rigour. It looks like it may have been developed by people associated with Fedora and may be a replacement for RPM, APT, and the like (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatpak) In any case, has anyone on this list looked at this or used it? Is it any good? Is it a good replacement for RPM or APT? Am I off-track here asking that question? Thanks, Brad -- Brad Fonseca Mobile: 416-876-2191 XMPP: brad.fonseca(a)blah.im XMPP (alt): brad.fonseca(a)xmpp.dk

C64 Stuff
by Howard Gibson 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

I am cleaning out my basement so that I can get a new furnace installed. I have all sorts of books on Commodore_64s that I have no use for. I have the C64, but I am keeping that. Does anybody out there have a use for old C64 books, or is this stuff landfill? -- Howard Gibson hgibson(a)eol.ca jhowardgibson(a)gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson

Web hosting questions
by o1bigtenor 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Greetings I bought web hosting and registered 2 domains with a company. The domains need to be renewed annually but the hosting is on a three year rotation. The renewal is going to be about 2.7 x the original hosting contract. Is this normal? What do you of those that have a personal or small business website do - - - move before renewal - - - or ????? I have managed to setup a webserver here at home. I tried to use one of my domains - - - that doesn't work because dns resolves to my host and not here. Any suggestions on what and/or how to setup things to experiment here before I go live with something? (I want to try things like horde's webmail groupware (Have it installed locally already) and other tools in the running of the business.) TIA Dee
