Message-ID: <00ef01beea66$216e67c0$7407130f@tc5570m.col.hp.com> >Looks like I get to be first... Thanks! I guess I should introduce myself, too :-). I've been using Perl off and on for about five years. At present, I'm using Perl to support our use of ClearCase with various utility scripts. My first Perl project was an translation system for ASIC gate descriptions from one format to another. I wrote a module called Proc::Stepper and seven months ago posted a preliminary description to news:comp.lang.perl.misc (http://deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=433172999.1). I've since deployed it in my department and have a working example, but it needs some cleanup before submitting to CPAN. Looks like I'll organize a lunch in the next week or two. How does Ruby Tuesday's on Garden of the Gods Road sound? As for personal stuff, I've written a lot on the Web.

We have a quorum for lunch (3 out of 5). Now we have to pick a date and place. Not everyone has introduced himself, so I'm making a guess here about proximity. Can we narrow the place down to somewhere on Garden of the Gods Road? There are three of us working in that area that I know of. I nominate (in order of preference): Garfields, Sien Sien, La Baguette. That's a relatively diverse set of choices. I assume the time is flexible, so can we narrow that down to 11:30? As for date, I nominate in order of preference Tuesday 8/31, Wednesday 9/1, and Friday 9/3. Please reply to all with your own preferences. I'll declare an event when we have consensus. <>< Tim From blb at pobox.com Wed Aug 25 20:11:43 1999 From: blb at pobox.com (Bryan Blackburn) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:18:33 2004 Subject: lunch In-Reply-To: <020c01beef51$70ac44c0$7407130f@tc5570m.col.hp.com> Message-ID: I'm open to either Garfields or Sien Sien, with 1130 always being a good time for lunch. For day, I can't make 8/31, but can do either of 9/1 or 9/3.

I have be working with Perl for a little over a year, not a computer geek by vocation, just something that my mid-life crisis led me into. I guess it's more harmless than Porsches, gold chains and white patent leather shoes. Lunch any day next week is not in the cards for me, but I'll try to make the next one. Larry
