Hello all,

Rocket Fuel is really popular and well liked again this year.  If you still
haven’t tried it, please feel free to come in and ask for a taster.  It is
really pleasant to drink whilst sitting around the fireside on these dark
evenings.  It also accompanies delicious stews and makes a good steak and
ale pie!

The Harvest Gold is also a favourite of the hoppy beer lovers and we have
recently put the last of it into barrels and it is likely to only last
another 3 weeks. We are trying to see that these two seasonal beers last
until December when our Christmas beer will be ready.

CHRISTMAS ORDERS

We are now taking orders for Christmas.   The advantage of ordering your
beer is to ensure that your beer is ready and awaiting your collection, thus
saving you time in having to wait in a queue.  Last year we ran out of some
of the beers and although we have increased production significantly this
year, we wouldn’t like any of our customers to be disappointed.

The Party 9’s make great presents, especially when they are gift wrapped.
We have a couple of them on display at the brewery to wet your appetite.
Should you want your gift to look amazing, then just let us know and we will
have it wrapped for you.

FRESH FREE RANGE EGGS

Due to the increased demand in fresh free range eggs, we have recently taken
on a local supplier of fresh free range eggs to ensure that we have a
plentiful supply to last the whole weekend.

PARTY DELIVERY SERVICE

This service goes from strength to strength and is really popular.  So many
people like the idea of having the beer delivered at a time to coincide with
the arrival of their guests.  We also can design bespoke pumpclips for that
special occasion, if you want to have your own beer clip, please let us know
and we will arrange something for you.  Orders can be processed by
telephoning us on 01252 319000.

Beers available this weekend:

Crondall’s Best 4.0%
Sober as a Judge 4.0%
Harvest Gold 4.5%
Rocket Fuel 4.5%

Have a good weekend and hope to see you soon.

Best Wishes

went there last night - two good presentations. beer/food…

• a tool to  display system configuration in a sort of graphical manner, it just proves that parsing unstable command line output is fraught with uncertainty - of course is there a stable way to do this ?
• a presentation on FUSE - File system in USErland .  which is a generic filesystem shim and a library  that talks to the shim and you implement all the vfsop type  function in userland eg read/write/stat/open/sync… you only need to implement the ones you need. The presentor had a “hello world” filesystem that had one file and you can guess its contents - took 20 lines of code. Its not fast but very useful… demo’ed ntfs on solaris.

Virtualbox  installed like a dream on my linux eeepc.  I had problems with  opensolaris’s pkg command getting into a swapping frenzy due to only 512Mb memory  during a image-upgrade.. so down pcworld for a 2gb SODIMM for 30 pounds took 5 minutes to fit once I found an anti static wrist strap.

Now virtualbox can have 1gb and linux 1gb - all seems to work fine I now have a snv_101 image running after downloading the dvd image. I now have two widgets telling me the battery level ! networking just worked… once I installed the virtualbox client addons the windowing system even adjusted to the slightly odd eeepc resolution of 1024×600..
