Here's what we have on the marquee: >> >> Tues/Wed July 27/28 - Randal Schwartz on Learning Perl >> This course is based on Randal's popular O'Reilly book "Learning Perl." >> >> Thursday July 29 - Alasdair Allan on Making Use of iPhone/iPad Sensors >> This class will guide you through developing applications for the iPhone and iPad platforms that make use of the onboard sensors: the three-axis accelerometer, the magnetometer (digital compass), the gyroscope, the camera and the global positioning system. You?ll learn how to make use of these onboard sensors and combine them to build augmented reality applications. This will give you the background to building your own applications independently using the hottest location-aware technology yet for any mobile platforms. >> >> The classes will be recorded at Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park. Recording will take the full day each day. >> >> Masterclass audiences are recorded asking questions as part of the product, it's free to attend but we need people to sign up (and sign releases), and lunch is provided.

URL: From rjw at alembic.com Tue Jul 27 00:29:54 2010 From: rjw at alembic.com (Ron Wickersham) Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:29:54 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] July Perl meeting Tuesday night (27 July) Message-ID: the next meeting is Tuesday, 27 July 2010 19:30. perl 6 not quite released (maybe by Thursday?) so no celebration this month. discuss party plans for August. ### our meeting place is Alembic, 3005 Wiljan Ct., Santa Rosa. directions are at http://sonoma.pm.org/directions.html From rjw at alembic.com Wed Jul 28 13:29:19 2010 From: rjw at alembic.com (Ron Wickersham) Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:29:19 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] perl 6 cheat sheet error Message-ID: Geoff pointed out that the cheat sheet passed out at the meeting last night had a line that was shorter than the others (the first character appeared to be cut off). the source of the Perl 6 cheat sheet: http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/Perl6/Cheatsheet/cheatsheet.txt correct your copy, looking about 1/2 way down the page, the next line after the line with SCOPE DECLARATIONS: the errored line starts with "~ >" (tilde, space, right angle-bracket*). a2ps** munged the first character, which was another tilde, so the link should start with "~~ >" (tilde, tilde, space, right angle-bracket). hope alpine and your MUA doesn't eat the correction. -ron * unicode defines the character as "right angle bracket"*** (with no hyphen), while math readers recognize the glyph as "greater-than" (with or without a hyphen). ** a2ps (the unix filter originally abbreviated from "ASCII to postscript" but which now has filters for hundreds of input file formats, rarely makes a mistake -- and not sure where this particular error comes from... it could be on standard input to a2ps (which was called with a2ps -1 -B -s2 -n24 -d - ) then content pasted into dtterm session and copied from Mozilla display, it could be inside a2ps (which may or may not call ghostscript in this case), or even inside the postscript interpreter inside the HP printer (have reported one serious bug long ago to HP which they were quite surprised to find repeatable due to the really extensive testing they put into the Adobe code since Adobe had a charge of $200,000 to correct a postscript error after HP accepted the code as working. but unix works well enough. *** it is certainly _not_ "right-angle bracket" even though most displays render it with a right-angle (90 degrees), since there is a corresponding left angle-bracket, and left-angle makes no sense -- you'd have to say "left right-angle bracket" or "left right-angle-bracket" but certainly not "left right angle-bracket" which is nonsense.
