As Jim pointed out: Is meetup really worth it?

The only thing meetup.com provides is the ability to attract new
people who otherwise don't know about the group. Catch is that if
you charge for membership nobody joins, if it's free you get 200
people who never do anything. 

One thing to try is renew & charge everyone on the list $1 or 
something, see how many people sign up at that rate -- at least
it'll pay for a month's use. If nobody you don't already know 
shows up then zap the list.

Subject: [Chicago-talk] Hello World example for PERL Module
Message-ID: <1633444967.nw9obtbcess008sc@hostingemail.digitalspace.net>



Can someone help me out with a Hello World example for this module? https://metacpan.org/dist/Device-Blinkytape/view/lib/Device/BlinkyTape/SimulationPort.pm

I have used BlinkyTape.pm (like in the code below) but now I would like to do some testing on a machine that does not have a BlinkyTape plugged into it's USB port and am not sure how to get started with?BlinkyTape/SimulationPort.pm

Thanks for any help.

use strict;
use lib '/home/pi/';
use BlinkyTape;

use Time::HiRes qw / usleep /;
my $bb = Device::BlinkyTape::WS2811->new();
?
for (my $b=0; $b<=100000; $b++) {
? ? for (my $a=0; $a<=59; $a++) {
? ? ? ? $bb->send_pixel(int(rand(254)),int(rand(254)),int(rand(254)));
? ? }
? ? $bb->show(); # shows the sent pixel row.
? ? usleep(400000);
}
?

Tangential comment, but see
https://perl-begin.org/tutorials/bad-elements/#vars-a-and-b .

Also , for reproducible results, you may wish to use srand() or better yet
https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Random::MT or similar.

As it turns out, compiling a C program from more than 20 years ago is actually
a lot easier than getting a Rails app from last year to work.
