Some time ago I created a listserv for Lafayette for generic technology discussions. That listserv never really took off, and when I switched mail servers, I didn't bother setting it up again.

I was speaking with James and another person this weekend and it seemed like a good time to 'resurrect' the old listserv and set it up via Google. So with that I'm proud to announce the return of the Lafayette Technology group. You can sign up here:

So what's the point of this listserv? All of us in the Acadiana UG are technology buffs. We wouldn't have joined the group if we weren't. Not all of us work in the same areas, but we all like to talk about technology related topics. This listserv can be used to talk about...

• Should I buy a new Mac or PC? (By the way, the answer is Mac)
• Should I go with ATT or Cox or wait for Fiber? (Cox for now, but switch to fiber when you can!)
• How do I get into programming?
• What editor is best for development?
• What local Best Buy will have the earlier copy of the new Warcraft expansion?
• Where can I find a job using C++/.Net?

Basically, anything and everything with regards to technology. This listserv is not just for Acadiana AUG members. Anyone can join. It does make sense to for members to be from Acadiana, but I'm not going to block anyone who is interested in being a member. I plan on reaching out to a few folks at Zydetech and other places to see if we can broaden the membership.
