Subject: APM: Lone Star Ruby Conf 2007!!!
Message-ID: <20070810192845.GA3264@bybent.com>

Hello

As you may know, Lone Star Rubyconf 2007 had closed
registration a few days ago due to sales exceeding
capacity.

Since then, the emails have not stopped for us to find a
way to accept more registrants to the conference.

With this encouragement, the LSRC committee has put on
their thinking caps, altered a few laws of physics, and increased the
conference capacity by an additional 48 seats, while still
providing for a comfortable conference atmosphere.

With this change, the early registration deadline is
extended from Aug 10 to Aug 15. Rates will increase Aug 16
from $200 to $300.

Please take this opportunity to register now, before these
final seats are gone.

-- News since last announcement

* Hal Fulton has been added as a guest speaker. Hal is the
  noted author of "The Ruby Way". http://rubyhacker.com
* Sun is sponsoring Friday night dinner! This means that attendees
  are only responsible for Saturday dinner. All other meals are
  part of your conference ticket during the two-day event.
* We are providing the three required creature comforts:
  electrical power for your laptop, wireless access, and
  caffeine in the form of assorted beverages.

Also, LSRC is still accepting sponsorship opportunities. And, we have
a special
opportunity for companies looking to hire Ruby and Rails developers.

I look forward to seeing you at Lone Star Rubyconf 2007!

     Subject: [ctl-linux] Off-topic: Perl, HTML,
         Graphics developer (volunteer) wanted

***PERL***
I'm looking for a Perl developer to help with an open-source project:
M-YRCMon IRC monitor (connections/nick changes/etc), and stats system. (Will
output to a file and to IRC)... and whatever other stuff we feel like
putting in.
Currently, 1.0 is under development (by me only).

Currently done:
-Basic socket creation (via standard module IO::Socket)
-Config file parser (via non-standard module XML::Simple)
-Basic link introduction for UnrealIRCd (yes, it acts as a server -- since
every server has a different "Client connecting" syntax for clients, it'll
probably be just as easy (or easier, since we don't have to run every IRCd
to find the syntax or ask people, and server<->server protocol is generally
better documented)).
-All the planning (for 1.0, at least).

What I need help with:
-Config parser WITHOUT any non-standard modules, or, preferably, without ANY
modules. The config file uses XML. Nothing fancy.
-Message (command) parsing. I have this partially done, but it will take a
while to get all the commands in.
-Ideas for other commands.
-Probably more.

You can contact me via this email, or msn messenger (
dimecadmium at cibilian.org is my msn, also).

***HTML/Graphics***
There is a base site at http://m-yrcmon.sourceforge.net/ -- but I would like
to coordinate a better site with someone who isn't me ;).

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help. As I said in the subject, no
reward will be given (unless we *somehow* gather enough donations).

Hi:

I've been trying to install perl and link to Mysql
server,

downloaded indigoperl and installed it,
this went fine,

tried to run and test 

mysqlsamp.pl

but it gave these messages:

C> MySQL Sample Test Script V1.0 on Sun Aug 19

Can't connect to the mysql server.
<br>Client does not support authentication protocol

 <br>
        (in cleanup) Can't call method "close" on an
undefined value at c:/DevSo

this is line 274:
sub DESTROY
{
	my $dbh = shift;
	my $mysql = $dbh->FETCH('mysqlpp_connection');
274	$mysql->close;
}

Any ideas, 

Thank you

Newt

Sorry, no idea what is wrong with IndigoPerl.  I've certainly heard of
more people using XAMPP.

The problem is that the mysql client software on your machine.  If you
installed it separate from IndigoPerl then upgrade MySQL.  If it was
part of IndigoPerl, you are at the mercy of Indigo.

If upgrading is not an option for whatever reason, add the following to the
[mysqld] section of my.cnf and then restart mysql:

old_passwords=1

Then, for the Mysql user you are connecting with, change the password to use
the old encryption scheme:

SET PASSWORD FOR '*some_user*'@'*some_host*' = OLD_PASSWORD('mypass');
