<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">A warm welcome to our
newest list members, friends from other Perl Monger groups around
the globe. Recently joining us as part of the hackathon are some
of our neighbors from New York City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Atlanta, Chicago, and Sydney Australia.<br>
<br>
If you still need an ssh account set up on the competition server,
check out dfw.pm.org for details.<br>
<br>
And finally, a tip for those running code that does rapid-fire
reading on the filesystem: please consider running it through
ionice. It's the nice thing to do.<br>
<br>
Example (from the shell prompt): </font><b><big><tt>$ nice -n 19
ionice -c2 -n7 ./your_perl_program.pl</tt></big></b><font
