<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Hi everyone,<br><br>A reminder for Damian's talk next Monday evening, details below. (Note that there was a small mistake in the details the last time I sent them; Bahen Centre is really on the /West/ side of St. George.)<br>
<br>Presenter: Dr. Damian Conway, the Mad Scientist of Perl<br> <a href="http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html" target="_blank">http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html</a><br>

<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Details: What do watching trees grow, debugging debuggers,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Greek mythology, code that writes code that writes code</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> that writes code, the hazards of LaTeX, successful failures,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> the treacherous Vorta, objective syntax, anti-stacks,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Danish mind-control, active null statements, synthetic standup,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> and the prospect of certain death all have in common?</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Watch as Damian weaves them together into a new and improbably</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> useful module that demonstrates the awesome power and beauty</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> of Perl 5.10.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Date: Monday 27 July 2009</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Time: 7pm - 9pm</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> show up early to get a seat, find place to park if you're</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> driving, etc.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Location: Bahen Centre for IT</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Room 1160 (i.e. the major lecture theater on the ground floor)</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> University of Toronto St. George (downtown) campus</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> 40 St. George Street</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> (just North of College on the West side of St. George)</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Parking: See the following URL for information about parking on</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> UofT St. George campus</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> Bahen Centre (marker #17). I also find it convenient to</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> park on King's College Circle (marker #13).</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Transit: St. George subway Stn, St. George St. exit,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> walk south approx. 7 minutes</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> _or_ Queen's Park subway Stn., walk west approx. 5 minutes</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> _or_ College streetcar westbound from either College Stn</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> or Queen's Park Stn (but walking may be faster than waiting</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> for a car, especially if you're at Queen's Park Stn)</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
