Hi Robert,

My schedule has finally let up enough that I've gotten a chance to
write-up last month's meeting. By chance do you have your
slides/examples in a form that I can publish or point to as part of the
write-up?

Thanks,
G. Wade

Subject: [pm-h] February Houston.pm Meeting: Homophonic Substitution Ciphers
 - Cracking The Code of a Killer with Robert Stone
Message-ID: <20170205125215.2a42d58a@cygnus>

February's presentation will be Robert Stone at Hostgator, on
Thursday, February 9 at Hostgator
(https://maps.google.com/maps?q=HostGator,+Houston&fb=1&gl=us&hq=HostGator,&hnear=0x8640b8b4488d8501:0xca0d02def365053b,Houston,+TX&cid=2141572779937723859&t=h&z=16&iwloc=A).
As usual, the meeting will start at 7pm.

Robert described the topic best:
"I've been doing some work with the Zodiac Killer's Z408 Cipher (I'm
tons of fun at cocktail parties!) which is a Homophonic Substitution
Cipher. Namely, creating a new Crypt::Z408 module and experimenting
with a way to brute force generic Homophonic Substitution Ciphers which
may or may not bear fruit.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Actually I'm the official maintainer of aappleby's SMHasher testsuite for
some years already.

And I successfully questioned djb's SipHash claims to be a secure hash
function in the hash table context, which would deserve a CCC talk to get
rid of the ongoing siphash security theatre. But who pays for that.

Message-ID: <CALMN4Yq3=H3697LL3hupEYpdy-Lzd8vgqftmFgD5zaC5Y9mLkA@mail.gmail.com>

In the last year Perl has become more popular than Java, PHP, and ASP
as a weekend programming language.

https://developers.slashdot.org/story/17/02/11/1841227/github-commits-reveal-the-top-weekend-programming-languages

I dunno about anyone else, but I'll use it on the weekend too.

Greetings,

This may be very meta, but how about a series of lightening talks on
"Staying Healthy"?

As developers we tend to have a stereotype of being up all night drinking
mountain dew and stuffing our faces with cheesy poofs.  As we all get older
(and those damn kids keep skateboarding on the sidewalk!) we end up having
to invest a bit more time and energy into staying in top mental form.
Personally, I follow a ketogenic diet and the stronglifts 5x5 workout
routine, and would be happy to discuss the details and effects they have.
I think it would be interesting to know what everyone else is doing and
perhaps get some new ideas.

Alternatively, I would love a presentation on Websockets in Perl if someone
is looking for an idea!

Best Regards,
Robert Stone

Message-ID: <20170228184519.4c52b150@cygnus>

Robert Stone has suggested we do a set of talks on "Staying Healthy".
What's the group's opinion? In order to do lightning talks/discussion,
we'll need at least a few people to agree.

Otherwise, someone needs to suggest a topic.

What does everyone think?
