From chicago.pm at iijo.org Mon Mar 3 08:26:28 2014 From: chicago.pm at iijo.org (Eric Johnson (kablamo)) Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 11:26:28 -0500 Subject: [Chicago-talk] Relocating to Chicago Message-ID: Hello Chicagoans, It seems that I'm relocating from London.pm to Chicago.pm very soon. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Lets see. I lived in Minnesota for 10 years. I am trying to learn Chinese and mostly failing. I love putting food inside my head -- especially new foods, but I no longer eat dessert. I own 168 things. I can't wait to get some deep dish pizza! And I am looking forward to the next Chicago.pm meeting whenever that is. I'm still looking for work in Chicago, so any local tips on good/bad companies or avg salaries would be much appreciated. On jobs.perl.org I see three positions there for a company in Schaumberg/Hoffman Estates, GoldStar Learning, and Fairbanks LLC. Also is there a #chicago.pm IRC channel? Oh. Yes there is. See you there. Thanks, Eric aka kablamo http://www.linkedin.com/in/ericjohnsonperl Feel free to add me as a contact -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Chris and Kate, I will be in touch shortly. Warren, Yes socks by pairs. :) I didn't bring the silverware with me this time when we moved but that's a gray area. I don't count shared (with my wife) items. So no kitchen stuff or furniture. Perhaps they should count as half a thing. Its still a new experiment for me.

Message-ID: <1EC3C5AC-5788-472D-BADC-F35EE21512F9@gmail.com> At tonight's project night (perhaps better described as office hours), we had an excellent conversation about functional programming in Perl and it's applications. But, unfortunately we ran out of time to discuss the important bit: We need a topic / speaker for our March meeting. If anyone has anything they'd like to hear about, or anything they'd like to speak about, reply to the list. Our talks usually last for about 45-60 minutes, and need only be tangentially related to Perl (web stuff, databases or APIs accessible through Perl, development practices, team-building exercises, programmer tools, and otherwise).
