From darkuncle at darkuncle.net Mon Jul 14 13:27:57 2003 From: darkuncle at darkuncle.net (Scott Francis) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:31:54 2004 Subject: [LA.pm] Randal Schwartz visiting LA Message-ID: <20030714182757.GO4923@darkuncle.net> Randal will be in LA from the 26th - 29th of this month. We had an LA.pm meeting with him a few years ago; are you all interested in doing it again? We'd probably meet somewhere for food and listen to him regale us with bits from his columns or talks at recent conferences. What do peoples' schedules look like during the last week of the month? (for the uninitiated, Randal Schwartz is the co-author of Learning Perl (the O'Reilly Llama book), and co-author of the original Programming Perl (the O'Reilly Camel book), arguably the two most popular and ubiquitous books on Perl to date. Also a very funny man. :) -- Scott Francis || darkuncle (at) darkuncle (dot) net illum oportet crescere me autem minui -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Wish I hadn't found about it the way I did, but it could've been worse--there were two serious-looking guys who told me if they didn't get their packages postmarked before midnight they'd be out of a job. They didn't get in. And a whole bunch of people kept coming by, only to be surprised when they were told that the 24 hour post office they'd relied on forever was no longer available. Don't let it happen to you--remember, 7AM-11PM. Tell your friends. Don't tell your enemies. We return you now to your regularly scheduled discussion. ___ DC
