Next month's meeting will be on November the 14th and will be the final technical meeting of the year (the December meeting traditionally being a social), so I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to speak next month. See you tomorrow evening.

Simply forwarding those requests to the mailing list is not always appropriate and also not going to be of interest to everyone on the list. So if you're a freelancer or represent a company that would be interested in knowing about these types of opportunities then I'd be delighted to hear from you and can keep your email address on file, with a view to forwarding enquiries on to you. I have one or possibly two opportunities on hand right now. Obviously I also work for an IT company which is in the business of providing exactly that type of service so I recognise that there's a potential conflict with me being in a position to hoover up the opportunities coming in through this channel. So let me know if you're interested in order that I can share with you.

While in the Bay area I had lots of interesting conversations. People were universally scornful about the fact I still write Perl, but hey, they probably didn't find my hat very fashionable either. I often talked about the challenge I have finding any peer-scrutinizable way to expose data and transformations. The scrutiny work I was doing was very focused on taking smallish (~ 30,000 record) data sets and performing moderately complex maths on them - say maths that is within the capabilities of a fairly bright senior high school student. Normally people do this using Excel. Using tables, you can use names for columns and tables, so it does at least allow you to write things like MAX(yourvar,myvar) instead of MAX(A1,B1). Anyway, the Silicon Valley cool kids all say that Jupityr notebooks are the answer. Comments? Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
