Howdy Mongers,
An echoing repeat of thanks to Hostgator for the pizza, venue, and
sponsorship of our business meetings.  Frank Braswell of the Informa
company presented about embedded devices, the Internet of Things, and
possible ways to integrate Perl into the mix.
Jack, the cloud storage software you are thinking about is called
Xively (sounds like it starts with a Z).
Our next relaxed social meeting will be over beer on Tuesday Feb 11th,
6:30pm at BBRovers.
Our next business meeting will be at HostGator's offices again on
Tuesday Feb 25th, and Allan Cochrane will present about Mojolicious.
ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK???  Join our new Austin.pm group!

soap web services and most of them appear to provide very simple
pieces of data.  The data that Frank put on the screen did not seem
very complicated. I  imagine a tank sensor sending that info once an
hour or something might  work. It wouldn't become big data until lots
of tanks' info was collected in one place. It also can work outside of
http; as in smtp and sms which seem like it might be useful. 

I also found there are a few big data sources available online for
testing against. I could not find the one Frank Braswell referred to
that starts with a Z. Anyone recall the name of that one? I have a
friend who is very involved with using complex mathematical algorithms
and vibration analysis for finding oil.

 i use SOAP a little in my catalyst application but I don't really
think it's a great choice for transfer of massive amounts of
information.  it's closer in purpose to REST.  and if you have a
choice, I would recommend using REST over SOAP.  it's much easier to
use.

 Hey, 
Pretty good meeting tonight. Thanks again to HostGator for a real
place to have a meeting ( and the pizza, and the drinks ).
I'm sorry for being so inept at expressing myself in technical terms
sometimes. The web services architecture I was trying to ask about is
the Web Service Description Language and Simple Object Access
Protocol. I wonder how SOAP services might be used in a Catalyst
application or for the transfer/access of massive amounts of data that
Frank Braswell described tonight. The relevant Perl module is
SOAP::Lite. 
Maybe I could bear down on the subject and be able to present in a few
months.
Jack
