I do not think that the PPPM group is active. I found the group, actually the web site, about two years ago and tried to make contact only to find that nothing was happening. I live in Colorado Springs. Sigh. What I have observed is an apparent automated site which periodically forwards O'Reilly Press articles, the address must be on an O'Reilly distro. Maybe you received a direct from others, as from me. Alas, no joy.

So, everyone who's interested, feel free to chime in with what days and locations are more amenable to you, and I'll try to propose something that serves as many of us as possible. Absent input, I'd probably propose lunch @11:30 on any day but Thursday at the Chili's near Jackson Creek (Wal-Mart area just N of Baptist Road) or Panera at Briargate shopping area near Focus on the Family ...

Either of those locations work for me as I'm in Monument, too. I work in Denver, but I get to work from home on Wednesdays. This means Wed. is the only day of the week I could make the lunch meeting. The proposed time works as well. If I had my choice of the two, I would go with the Panera bread. It's a little more reasonably priced, and quieter (usually) than Chilis. Also, it's closer to Colorado Springs for those folks that are deeper into town. If we had enough people show up, I would also suggest considering the Panera on North Academy near the Chapel Hills mall. It has a community room that we could reserve for the monthly meeting. -- John Evans http://jtevans.kilnar.com/ Blog: http://www.beosig.net/ AIM: Beosig There is no role-playing in an online game that can match what happens in person. -- Gary Gygax From pikespeak-pm at brad.memoryleak.org Wed Sep 16 14:33:05 2009 From: pikespeak-pm at brad.memoryleak.org (Bradley C Bailey) Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:33:05 -0600 Subject: [Pikes-peak-pm] restarting PPPM...?

Personally, I'll limit myself to a weekday meeting (early morning or lunch'ish). Sounds like there's some distinct interest for two paths. Therefore, I propose a dual track: 1) A monthly weekday lunch meeting, 1st Wednesday of each month, for those limited to weekdays. First meeting Wed Oct 7 2009 11:30am at Panera's on N. Academy. If you're a weekday'er and that would work, chime in. I'm willing to attempt to loosely organize that one in the future. 2) A monthly(?) evening meeting the week of the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Tim, sounds like you might be the obvious choice to organize with out-of-towners and interested local folks. As for how to get going on the weekday get-together, I'm thinking the simpler, the better: lunch and low-tech friendly chit-chat.

"Technologist Tim O'Reilly is spending time in Washington, and bringing Washington officials to San Francisco, to do something different - perhaps something more realistic. O'Reilly is trying to help government become a platform for innovation. A "government as platform" would supply raw digital data and other forms of support for private sector innovators to build on top of."

First I'll apologize for my 'quiet', i.e. delay. A death in the family has had me on my knees for the last week+. Yes, my faithful 10yr old home pedestal 2Ghz PentiumIV Windows/XP-SP2 120Gb Maxtor died. Dusty really - no windows of any kind? - that sounds like 'prison' - are you really sure that you can get out such that the rest of us won't become implicated as accomplices in your escape - I am willing to talk Perl but I'm going to have to stop short of breaking you out of 'jail' (Even if it is Kansas and an inherently worthy cause!!! - Grins) I had backups, but Windows ntbackup was very finicky and would not even run most of the time... And I had Folder copies. All to a USB WD Passport. I love those USB power drives!!! In any event this weekend I pretty much got the new WinTel Q9550/8Gb 64-bit WXP/SP2 up, things restored, and 'back on line'. Not that I am a WXP-SP2 fanboy or bashboy either way! Er, some to think of it I do like bash so maybe I am a bashboy, if just a bit. But then what a good boy that Maxtor is, even as it died it let me jumper it onto another motherboard and read things off as I scrambled to recover, all the while dodging the slings and arrows of my wife for letting such a thing happen. Er, 10 years of spinning in the dust hell hole below our computer desk. I'm thinking sainthood for that little drive, a nice little commemorative yellow post-it note and a static bag taped tight is in its future. I've loved but one HDD manufacturer in my life,.... Is that a bad thing? Ah, but enough about me! Sorry, what as the question? Wednesday, Oct 7th @ 11:30 AM sounds good to me! I'll be the one wearing (seeking) Perl's (of Wisdom?)! And we should probably clarify the location? I believe that Ed has indicated location 'B', see following map. I'm for an informal meeting, just some chat, background (checks), etc. to get things started.

First I'll apologize for my 'quiet', i.e. delay. A death in the family has had me on my knees for the last week+. Yes, my faithful 10yr old home pedestal 2Ghz PentiumIV Windows/XP-SP2 120Gb Maxtor died. Dusty really - no windows of any kind? - that sounds like 'prison' - are you really sure that you can get out such that the rest of us won't become implicated as accomplices in your escape - I am willing to talk Perl but I'm going to have to stop short of breaking you out of 'jail' (Even if it is Kansas and an inherently worthy cause!!! - Grins) I had backups, but Windows ntbackup was very finicky and would not even run most of the time... And I had Folder copies. All to a USB WD Passport. I love those USB power drives!!! In any event this weekend I pretty much got the new WinTel Q9550/8Gb 64-bit WXP/SP2 up, things restored, and 'back on line'. Not that I am a WXP-SP2 fanboy or bashboy either way! Er, some to think of it I do like bash so maybe I am a bashboy, if just a bit. But then what a good boy that Maxtor is, even as it died it let me jumper it onto another motherboard and read things off as I scrambled to recover, all the while dodging the slings and arrows of my wife for letting such a thing happen. Er, 10 years of spinning in the dust hell hole below our computer desk. I'm thinking sainthood for that little drive, a nice little commemorative yellow post-it note and a static bag taped tight is in its future. I've loved but one HDD manufacturer in my life,.... Is that a bad thing? Ah, but enough about me! Sorry, what as the question? Wednesday, Oct 7th @ 11:30 AM sounds good to me! I'll be the one wearing (seeking) Perl's (of Wisdom?)! And we should probably clarify the location? I believe that Ed has indicated location 'B', see following map. I'm for an informal meeting, just some chat, background (checks), etc. to get things started.
