Christmas is going to make the city fairly busy over the next few weeks but I vote for a quiet location too. The QUT campus club used to be quite quiet this time of year (and I vaguely remember that they were cheap and let people 'off the street' in at certain times.) Might have to check that though. In case anyone has been frustrated by the lack of messages on the list lately - it was a result of 'technical' problems. The happyfunball machine (from what I can discern) was not well. Just bought Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C - very interesting and the coverage is good enough to fill in some of the sparser documentation for Apache itself. Another aside (and I'm sure that as loyal employees none of us looks at the positions vacant columns) the number of positions advertising for Perl type people is definitiely on the rise. There is clearly a discrepancy between the wages on offer for Sydney/Melbourne and what appear to be equivalent positions in Brisbane. My own observation would be that managers and others are getting worked up about Cold Fusion and other shrink-wrapped solutions here in Brisbane which to a degree devalues the worth of Perl coders.

However, membership is only $6 and you don't have to be a student. The catch -there's always a catch - because the campus is winding down they are only going to be open until 6pm this week and then only for lunch next week and then not at all. However, during the uni semester it is still relatively quite in the evenings and they are open until 9pm in the latter part of the week - so maybe we could think about this for next year. I suppose the upshot is - next suggestion please.

I've just setup a voting spot at eGroups. This web based email list server has some other goodies you might also enjoy such as chat/downloads/calendar/links/polls (for voting) etc. I've added brisbane-pm-list@happyfunball.pm.org to the mailing list from this eGroup. Cheers, Tony O'Hagan P.S. I hope I'm ruffling too many feathers by setting up this eGroup. I just thought we could so with some more facilities like voting. I'm happy to handover moderating to someone else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A shopper’s dream come true! Find practically anything on earth at eBay!
