Blog post in question: http://petdance.com/2012/05/please-help-me-with-terminology-for-small-acts-that-add-to-a-greater-whole/ That "random acts.." has been suggested before, and that has the right feel. The downside is that they're not really random. And I want something that gives the idea of adding to a greater whole. So far the best I have is "stitches". xoa -- Andy Lester => andy at petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Andy, did you get your duplicate filtering of large data problem solved? I saw the discussion after the fact. I was going to suggest SHA1 hashing the keys and using *that* to filter duplicates, which is exactly what I do to remove duplicates in a large dataset I have. I may also be confusing you with someone else. And yes, I'm spamming brazosvalley.pm on purpose, encouraged by the (delayed) signs of life. Are you in this god forsaken hellhole? YAPC is full but mst, apeiron and several other people, myself included, are organizing a "Hallway++" track that roves nearby pubs, recruiting speakers to give original talks or short versions of their YAPCs talks, in addition to just, you know, hallway tracking it (gabbing about Perl stuff and non-Perl stuff). Hopefully the Hallway++ plan will make more room for everyone. JT has also said on the list that he wouldn't throw anyone out, so if there's space available at a talk you really want to see and you're crashing the party, I say go for it. YAPC has always been pretty chill. So, when's the next meeting? There's a biology grad student happy hour Friday 4-8pm that I've been crashing that other people are welcome to crash too. It's at the bar (whose name I forget and never noticed) right next door to the Freebird taco thing on the north side of campus. I'll make it a point to be there if anyone else is down. Otherwise it's even odds for me. -scott On 5/30/12, Andy Lester wrote: > > On May 30, 2012, at 11:08 AM, Lindahl, Charlie wrote: > >> I just watched "Evan Almighty" recently, and I recalled the term "ARK: >> Acts of Random Kindness". >> >> Does this fit at all? > > > Blog post in question: > http://petdance.com/2012/05/please-help-me-with-terminology-for-small-acts-that-add-to-a-greater-whole/ > > That "random acts.." has been suggested before, and that has the right feel. > The downside is that they're not really random.

No, but I hang out on a lot of non-Chicago PM lists. xoa -- Andy Lester => andy at petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
