Please note that this is on the second floor (see map at http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/csimages/building/2ndfloorCS.gif) We hope that you will forward this email to your friends and colleagues. You see we have slotted a 10-min "Introductions" item on the agenda and we would like see many new faces! PRESENTATIONS Robert Rothenberg is our main speaker. He will be introducing lists in Perl. Lists are a very powerful data structure and a built-in data type in Perl. Are you making the most out of them? Come and find out. As part of our "replace your shell script with a more efficient and portable Perl script", Kostas Pentikousis will show how to execute system commands (or other programs) and parse their output in Perl. We have two open items on the agenda for future meetings: - We are looking for people to review visual development tools for Perl. So far we have identified the following: 1. Visual Perl is the high-productivity Perl plug-in for Visual Studio .NET (http://www.activestate.com/Products/Visual_Perl/) 2. Affrus 1.0 is an integrated Perl editing and debugging environment for Mac OS X (http://www.latenightsw.com/affrus/index.html) 3. PerlEdit is an IDE for Perl and a general-purpose text editor (http://www.indigostar.com/perledit.html) - We are looking for people interested in receiving a free Perl book in exchange for a review on our web site and 10-min presentation to the group. AFTER PARTY As always, we will motion to move the meeting to a nearby restaurant that serves adult beverages ;) Best regards, Kostas Pentikousis Rob Rothenberg From wlkngowl at i-2000.com Mon Mar 22 12:38:09 2004 From: wlkngowl at i-2000.com (Robert Rothenberg) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:37:44 2004 Subject: [sb.pm] pod2slide Message-ID: <405F3291.7080902@i-2000.com> After struggling with MJD's "txt2slides" [1], I whipped up a simpler alternative called "pod2slide" that converts POD to HTML slides using Pod::POM and HTML::Template. A version was recently uploaded to CPAN [2] but I'm busy tweaking it for a presentation. If anybody would like to help test and improve it, let me know.

Message-ID: <406269D3.4060504@i-2000.com> Attendance at tonight's meeting was a bit sparse. We assume it was due to midterms. So when is a good time next month for everybody to meet? (Days of the week and times of day are helpful.)

We have an immediate internship available for someone with PHP and MySQL experience. You must be a CS student, grad student, or recent grad, with experience building a database-driven site using PHP & MySQL. You don't need to be a PHP guru, but you should have built a site or two from scratch (i.e., not just configuring a PHP package site) and know your way around the language, mainly because of time constraints. You also need to be able to dedicate approx. 20 hours a week for 4 weeks, starting almost immediately. The internship is for a real commercial project, so you have to be somewhat serious about the commitment. This would be a paid internship. If this sounds interesting to you, please give me a ring at the number below, ASAP. Or, if you know someone who might fit the bill, please forward this email to him or her.
