"Testing the Testers" by James FitzGibbon. The audio, the slides, and the archive of past talks are available via links at: http://hew.ca/talks_audio/ From cbrandt at buffalo.edu Wed Feb 23 14:06:56 2005 From: cbrandt at buffalo.edu (Jim Brandt) Date: Wed Feb 23 14:07:13 2005 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Buffalo Perl Mongers Under New Management Message-ID: <9497299c9c038239f6d074e9d5b4beb9@buffalo.edu> Announcements: 1) Yes, you read the subject correctly. Our fearless leader, Kevin Christopher, has followed the call to go West and is now kicking around Arizona. So I've stepped up to take the reigns and keep things rolling. And he's promised to stay on the list, so he can keep us honest. 2) The web site is not really functional right now. The www.pm.org server was relocated right around the time Kevin was handing things over to me. They've also changed their policy so we can no longer run cgi scripts on the server. So right now buffalo.pm.org gives you a code listing. As soon as I can get access to the server, I'll get the pages cleaned up. For now it will all have to be flat HTML. Any suggestions on where we could host dynamic content if we wanted to have an alternate buffalo PM site? 3) Our next meeting!!!! We're lucky to have Randal Schwartz in town next week and he's agreed to attend a Buffalo Perl Mongers meeting on next Thursday night. Details: Thursday, March 3 7 p.m. Room 242 Bell Hall University at Buffalo North Campus Topic: Randal will be talking about his new module CGI::Prototype and how it makes Perl web application development easier. We have used this module at UB and Randal has also used it with Geek Cruises (http://geekcruises.com/), one of his other clients. You can find details on CGI::Prototype on CPAN here: http://search.cpan.org/~merlyn/CGI-Prototype-0.90/ There have also been discussions of this module on Perlmonks, where there has been some controversy over why Randal developed this solution rather than using CGI::Application. Hope to see you all there.

I may get flammed for this, but I've used phpwebhosting in the past ( http://www.phpwebhosting.com ) and they've been very good and cheap - like $10 per month. I'm sure there's somewhere cheaper than that. It includes cgi and database. Or perhaps the UB CSE dept wouldn't mind "donating" some space for us to use.
