Things are still slow around here (and Todd asked me to forward
this), so here's something you might be
interested in if you're up for a drive:

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong

Short Description of talk...

Everybody makes mistakes. Most of the time they can be fixed.

But as you gain more experience and your projects get larger you enter 
the dangerous and exotic world of large-scale design, with mistakes so 
seductive you won't notice until years after you make them, and so 
dangerous you can't risk fixing them even once you do.

In the style of "You Can't Get There From Here", this talk will cover 
the theoretical basis of some of the worst design mistakes, and take you 
on a tour of some the biggest mistakes in the Perl world (including mine).
Adam's Bio...

Adam Kennedy is one of Perl's "beautiful people", brilliant, outgoing, 
stunningly handsome, yet still modest. And he loves being asked to write 
his own bio.

Founder of Perl development and consulting company Phase N Australia, he 
works on Perl scalability and the solution of novel, complex and 
non-trivial problems for a variety of clients.

Preview of next month...

Set aside July 11th for the next big talk. Note: I'm still finalizing 
the location. Randal's back in town to present...

Practicing Better Perl:
Randal Schwartz summarizes the 30 most important "Perl Best Practices" 
from Professor Conway's book of the same name, and throws in his own 
experiences as well.

As far as I know, you will _not_ be required to register with Evite if 
this is a concern. This will help me to get a better idea of the head 
count so PLEASE take the time to RVSP. The Evite invitation also has 
more information regarding parking, etc.
