Please consider attending -- the drive isn't too bad, and the talk will be a ton of Perl fun. Here are the details: Presenter: Dr. Damian Conway, the Mad Scientist of Perl http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html http://www.googlism.com/index.htm?ism=damian+conway&type=1 Talk Title: The Missing Link Details: What do watching trees grow, debugging debuggers, Greek mythology, code that writes code that writes code that writes code, the hazards of LaTeX, successful failures, the treacherous Vorta, objective syntax, anti-stacks, Danish mind-control, active null statements, synthetic standup, and the prospect of certain death all have in common? Watch as Damian weaves them together into a new and improbably useful module that demonstrates the awesome power and beauty of Perl 5.10. Date: Monday 27 July 2009 Time: 7pm - 9pm show up early to get a seat, find place to park if you're driving, etc. Location: Bahen Centre for IT Room 1160 (i.e. the major lecture theater on the ground floor) University of Toronto St. George (downtown) campus 40 St. George Street (just North of College on the East side of St. George) Parking: See the following URL for information about parking on UofT St. George campus http://tinyurl.com/u-of-t-parking Looks like there is an underground lot directly beneath Bahen Centre (marker #17). I also find it convenient to park on King's College Circle (marker #13). Transit: St. George subway Stn, St. George St. exit, walk south approx. 7 minutes _or_ Queen's Park subway Stn., walk west approx. 5 minutes _or_ College streetcar westbound from either College Stn or Queen's Park Stn (but walking may be faster than waiting for a car, especially if you're at Queen's Park Stn) Hope to see you there!
