Message-ID: <20021012182246.50328.qmail@web21201.mail.yahoo.com> Greetings fellow HoustonTx.pm members; My name is Kristofer Hoch, and I am the current 'moderator' of this list. I'd like to take this time to tell yall a little bit about myself, and why I started this list. First off, I am a Product Quality Assurance Manager at small Java Toolkit development company called Interactive Network Technologies. I use Perl to maintain an internal website, and the Customer support software. I really enjoy using Perl, as I can see immediate results. I have also recently started dabbling in Java, and I am enjoying that as well. I am affiliated to PerlMonks.com as krisahoch. I would someday soome like to start a HoustonTx.pm website, but I am unwilling to invest the money until this list gets at least 15 members. I would like create a consil of sorts that would dictate what happens to this list. Everyone in the PM has a say, but the majority rules. Even if I don't like it. Anyway, enough about me, lets hear about you. Thanks, Kristofer --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I live near downtown Houston, work as Cheif Architect for Alert Logic, Inc. - a company started by a few friends and myself. As for a more specific description, I do alot of software design and implementation for automating business processes and IDS analysis, primarily in Perl, and manage other developers. For fun projects, I like hacking up audio in perl, as well as midi, and other random things. The digitalkoma link below will take you to some of my audio projects. I also have a few modules available via CPAN. I look forward to chatting with you all. Cheers =) !c C.

For websites, I'm just completing a rewrite for my church, using HTML::WebMake, which is a fairly nice templating system by the author of Spamassassin, which is also pretty nice, BTW. I recommend both. I support PostScript::MailLabel and PlotCalendar in CPAN, and also have weather station software. And I'm a rabid Linux supporter.

I have a B.S. in Math and Physics from TAMU and am currently working on an M.A. in English with an emphasis on creative writing. I sing baritone in the Brazos Valley Chorale--we're singing Mozart's Requiem with the Brazos Valley Symphony in November. We sang Beethoven's Missa Solemnis last fall. I'm somewhat active on the mod_perl lists (depends a lot on available time) and attend O'Reilly's OS Con, if nothing else, to visit with mod_perl folk. We tend to use Solaris and FreeBSD for our systems, some of which have over 60k user accounts. My current projects include writing a `process management system' (instead of a content management system) with which we can implement our administrative interfaces to such things as our central e-mail system. This is being done in Perl (http://sf.net/projects/gestinanna/).

My name is Dave Barnett. I worked for Geco-Prakla (Schlumberger) before the merger with Western Geophysical, and currently work at WesternGeco (the merged co.). When I started with GP 5 years ago, my manager suggested that I find a book on Perl, and pick it up. I picked up "Learning Perl", followed by Programming Perl, 2nd ed. All of my Perl knowledge is from the *nix side of the fence: IBM AIX, SGI IRIX, Sun OS, Sun Solaris, and of course Linux. I've been using Perl in a wide variety of ways: 1) writing scripts to check source code revisions for various important bits [copyright, etc.] before accepting the code changes, 2) Converting Seismic velocity data from one format to another [with a geophysicist telling me what the output should look like], 3) General purpose utilities to fill the random user request, and 4) my own personal collection of tools. Some of these "tools" are quick hacks to handle system upkeep type requests [deleting old log files, cleaning up "scratch" space], and the like. For the most part, I use Perl to do the jobs that sh/sed/awk/grep would otherwise require....... I'm pretty good with regular expressions, and text based processing. That's mostly what I use Perl for. I've also written several scripts that process various text files and put them into HTML [another text format] suitable for web pages. I don't usually go into the darker corners [sockets, IPC, signal handling, etc.] unless I have the need. My current project involves converting how we build our Seismic Processing System from using make to using the "company standard" build product [aka NOT make]. As part of the process, we have quite a bit of scripting and custom coding to do for validation testing [did the build complete without error, can we use the built product, etc.] that I intend to use Perl for. Wish me luck! No luck needed for go ahead to use Perl, just luck on getting things working. I support no modules on CPAN, but did write one for interal use some time back. I don't think it's really been used by anyone but me, however...... Enough for now.
