[juneau-lug] Re: November Meeting

Hello Charles,

I'd be interested in your GIMP tutorials.  I've worked through some 
tutorials but know that there is a more depth there.  I still want to 
spend some time Grokking the GIMP but like a lot of my reading it is 
still waiting for a non-busy, rainy day.

I picked up a Garmin ETrex Legend this summer and have been toying with 
GPSDrive and GSPPoint.  In fact I took the kids geocahcing this 
afternoon out by the glacier.  We've been having a lot of fun with it.  
In downloading the waypoints and tracks I found a bug in the perl script 
that converts the data for GPSDrive.  If that's any use to you - I'll 
dig it out and send it.  Also I'm perplexed as to a map syncing error in 
GPSDrive that consistently throws off my position (maybe 400 ft WNW).  I 
see the same error in MS Streets & Trips.  Anyways lets compares notes 
sometime - at a JLUG meeting or otherwise.

Did you also have to get a usb to serial cable?  My laptop has no serial 
ports.  Also I travel to the northern part of the lp (Roscommon) every 
summer to visit family.  Where do you go?
