I think we should guarantee a round penguin
sticker to every person that comes to the Dec. meeting and save
the rest for the next Feb. 14th meeting.  Could we get
a description of the round penguin sticker?  I know that this
is one reason that I'm going to be there.  :-)  

With all this booty, it might be a good idea to write a better
random number generator and see if we can use it for the 
raffle ticket picker instead of placing the tickets in a beer mug.
As I mentioned, I was having some problems generating truly
random numbers under Java which prevented me using Linux to
get the TLUG raffle numbers.  However, at a minimum I'll
try to use Linux to design and print the raffle tickets.  How
does one get really random numbers in a certain range under
Linux, preferrably with Java?

Regards,
Craig
