I expect to be there as well. But I won't be bringing my monitor this time.

However, we can try using VNC to see if we can view the Pi3B desktop from a laptop or tablet. The downside is that you can't really use it for everything. Unless things have changed a lot since I used VNC last, it's not fast enough to watch videos on the Pi, for example. If somebody wants to bring their own tablet for connecting, feel free. I'll bring my tablet and laptop.

Mike is away this week in Alberta so it'll just be the three of us unless Dougal or anybody else is coming.

No, Jason forgot to bring a keyboard.  Had no way to log in to Rasbian.

But the static picture on the white screen looked superb! Boring after 15 minutes though.
