important announcement regarding DS Meetups

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I'm stepping down as the person coordinating the DS Meetups. I think we will take a break for the month of January. If someone wants to step in and take this over, that would be great. I can give you the contact information for the manager of the Burren which would be our scheduled location for February.

My job location has shifted starting in January and I will not be getting back to the Boston area till much later in the evening. I will try to make the meetups as much as possible.

unofficial somerville snow emergency twitter feed

I've set up a twitter feed for announcements of somerville snow emergencies.
http://twitter.com/svillesnowemerg

caveats:
1. it's not official.
2. it probably won't be more timely than letting the city call your cellphone.
3. twitter SMS traffic sometimes arrives hours late (at least at my phone)
4. there will be no other updates besides snow-emergency-related updates.
