Yes, I'm late to the party on this. Certain types of rounding are
required in financial transactions and printf would be WRONG in the
last one I did. Printf has one type of rounding and it is only correct
if that is the type of rounding you need. Choosing a specific rounding
method can also prevent biases from arising in certain statistical
samples (if your numbers tend to end in an even digit for example).  I
suggest the obvious reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding_numbers

Math::Round is great. FYI, SQL Server has poor rounding functionality,
so do it in Perl!

I actually had to unround numbers recently. It's possible if you know
the original # is a multiple of 1/16 or 1/32 ;)

Regards,
Sean

Hello Chicago! Greetings from SF.pm...

I'm going to YAPC::NA next month, but my airline credits will only get me to Chicago.  Is anyone in Chicagoland interested in sharing a ride to/from Madison.  I'd be happy to buy your gas.  Here are my specifics...

Wed, Jun 12: arriving at Midway at 14:40
Friday, Jun 15: departing Midway at 19:35

I'm lodging at the Madison Hostel, which is just a few blocks from the conference.

-Jeff

I am unfortunately not going to YAPC, but if all else fails in finding
a carpool, the Van Galder bus has daily trips from Midway to UW
Madison for around $30. http://www.coachusa.com/vangalder/

There's some more info at the YAPC website, with a rideshare page if
others coming in to Midway/O'Hare want to pool up:

Yeah, I've made a reservation, just in case.  But I thought sharing a ride would be more fun.

Yup, I've posted there too :)

I assume he meant he's coming in on Tuesday the 12th.

Tuesday, Jun 12: arriving at Midway at 14:40
Friday, Jun 15: departing Midway at 19:35

This Meetup.com group just showed up today, and I signed up for it.

http://www.meetup.com/chicago-open-source-bug-bash/

They call it the "Chicago Open Source Bug Bash".  Don't know if I'll actually get to any meet ups, but it's good to know they're there.

Do any of you have any favorite meetup.com groups?

xoxo,
Andy
