TOPIC: An Introduction to UX Design by Scott Granneman
Time: Sep 18, 2025 18:00 Central Time (US and Canada)
Design is more than how something looks, it's how it works, and how it
feels to use.
This talk introduces the fundamentals of User Experience (UX) design
by tracing its roots in graphic and industrial design, human-computer
interaction, and usability.
We'll examine what makes interfaces intuitive, when difficulty is
purposeful, and how methods like user-centered design and the 5 Whys
help uncover root problems. Along the way, you'll see how UX connects
theory to practice and why good design means aligning user needs with
business goals to create meaningful, effective experiences.

BASIC Tutorial: PCAPdroid & 3 other Android Apps for Network
Troubleshooting.
Presenter: *Ken Johnson*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Ken_Johnson.shtml&sa…>
Network Troubleshooting with Android Apps
I will review four Android Apps that I have used for
Network Troubleshooting. I will present an overview of their features and
emphasize how I have used each. With a small bonus, time permitting.
(*PCAPdroid* is an *open-source *network monitoring app for Android that
allows users to inspect and analyze network traffic from other apps on
their device without root access. It can:
- capture and export network packets,
- decrypt *HTTPS/TLS traffic*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/search?rlz%3D1CATTSD_en…>
,
- identify remote IPs, countries, and *ASNs*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/search?rlz%3D1CATTSD_en…>
,
- block malicious hosts, and
- create firewall rules.
The app can also redirect connections to a *Socks 5 proxy*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/search?rlz%3D1CATTSD_en…>
and
has features like DNS query extraction and payload inspection. ...)
7:15pm
MAIN Topic: Network Time. NTP & Linux.
Doctor Stratum:
Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Clock
Presenter: *Andrew Denner*
<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://localhost:4321/presenters/andrew-denner…>
Ever had a server wake up thinking it's January 1st, 1970?
That's not just a bad hangover -- it's a recipe for:
broken certificates,
failed logins, and
confused applications.
In this talk, we'll explore
how Linux keeps time, from NTP and chrony to stratums, time zones, and
the infamous "watch problem."
Whether you're syncing with GPS, hardening
security, or just trying to keep your logs honest, you'll leave knowing
how to make your systems tick like clockwork -- all without needing 1.21
gigawatts.

The extant Saint Louis Area Computer Club (SLACC) is the oldest,
longest enduring, continuously meeting personal computer organization
active in the Greater St. Louis Area.
You are invited to attend this next ONLINE session, in lieu of any
regular physical face-to-face meeting. Further instructions below.
* ONLINE Sessions
* NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS until further notice.
* ONLINE session will use ZOOM remote video service 4 September 2025.

You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser. We suggest
that you clear browser cache and cookies before starting any session.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:
We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Standard Time.
Join early to test your controls, hearing (sound), video screen sharing
and microphone (speaking). You might be muted on entry.
During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.
Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset can result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at least earbuds is highly
recommended. Wired Ethernet is always better than WiFi connectivity.
If you do not take the time and make the effort to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Annoying disruptions
may cause you to be kicked off the session.
Try dropping your connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues;
but, do so slowly, as granting access to your microphone and camera too
quickly is the current main problem. Also, there are often sound
settings in different browsers that may need to be changed.
======================================================================
WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:
6:00 PM Join early.
Please set your identity to show first name and last name. Instead of
full last name you could just follow first name with an initial. We
do prefer that you use your full last name.
Please hold you questions until after start of the meeting.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6:30 PM Start of meeting.
Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments. Disconnecting and reconnecting usually
fixes issues from an initial problem session.
All may be muted at this point. You will have to unmute yourself in
order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ORDER OF EVENTS:
First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call-For-Help during our Questions-and-Answers period.
Sometimes we may watch a video or have a slide show presentation,
after which there will be general discussions that usually lead to
additional topics.
Sometimes, there can be a live demonstration of a Linux distribution
(distro) installation, updating, changes, features and applications.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
TOPICS:
We usually hold a Hardware and Software Configuration Workshop when
nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other
event or activity scheduled. This is an open free format workshop.
In this workshop we usually assess, configure, examine, fix, install,
repair, and troubleshoot difficult hardware and software configuration
problems for Linux newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and
hardware are also frequently fixed.
