Argh! I soooo don't need an additional time-black hole. But I must say, the game is very shiny. Oh, and I'm the Yenzian Alliance, if you can find me. :-) > Here's a link to presentation about the back end: > http://www.madmongers.org/talks/the-lacuna-expanse Very, very cool. It's doubly exciting for me, considering that they are pretty much using the same technologies that I'm pushing at $workplace. Seeing them making it work for the kind of scale required for MMORPGS makes me even more... confident about the validity of my long-term world-domination plans. :-) > Sign up and come find me in the game (Texen Raiders). Sounds like a cross between Texans and the Tusken (sp?) Raiders from Star Wars. Not a very good sign for a peaceful civilization to trade with. :-) Joy, `/anick From ushnish.sengupta at gmail.com Sun Oct 17 14:32:22 2010 From: ushnish.sengupta at gmail.com (Ushnish Sengupta) Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:32:22 -0400 Subject: [Ottawa-pm] Announcing SocialTechCampToronto Saturday Oct 23rd Message-ID: Apologies for any duplicate postings, but would love to have some projects from Ottawa Perl Mongers presented.

I was in Toronto two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'll not be able to return to the big T. for next week-end. Too bad... But thanks for the broadcast. With a little luck, it'll draw the attention of other peeps on the list. Cheers (and best o' luck!), `/anick
