[Debconf-discuss] Thinkpad T4x Docking Station

2010-07-31 Thread Michael Banck

[Debconf-discuss] Some quieter bars and cafes

2010-07-31 Thread Gabriella Coleman
So some of us have hit a few bars that were unbearably loud, and chock full of teenage girls barely old enough to legally drink (but immensely impressed by men in kilts). One place is the Heights (whose outdoor rooftop seating/bar seems nice but we have never managed to get there when that is open)
