Message-ID: <20090911123343.A11051@assyrian.org.uk> It's forecast to remain sunny tomorrow, and it's not /that/ cold yet. Admittedly, I'm typing this with a pair of thick woolly gloves on, but that's an RSI thing. So, let's have a picnic! While we still can! I'm doing no2id stuff on Princes Street until 3, so let's meet on the Meadows, near where the path goes up the hill to Lauriston Place, at around 3.30pm. The alert among you will have noticed that this is near to a supermarket where Picnic Foods can be obtained subject to the handing-over of suitably-denominated currency units. Bring food and/or drink, circus props if you have any, and something warm if you feel the cold. Ciorstaidh and I will bring a Huge Tarpaulin to put food on, and probably a blanket or two.

During his relatively brief life, Turing made a unique impact on the history of computing, computer science, artificial intelligence, developmental biology, and the mathematical theory of computability. 2012 will be a year-long celebration of Turing's life and scientific impact, with a number of major events taking place throughout the year. Most of these will be linked to places with special significance in Turings life, such as Cambridge, Manchester and Bletchley Park.

Toga! Toga! Message-ID: <20090921151630.C29693@assyrian.org.uk> It's now just over a year since Ciorstaidh and I moved into our flat, and just under a year since I submitted my *&%$#: thesis [1]. In honour of these, and because I've never been to one, we are holding a TOGA PARTY at our flat, 6/14 Academy Street, from 2010 [2] onwards THIS FRIDAY, the 25th September 2009. The buzzer's broken: ring 07813 917746 for admission. Togas are optional, but encouraged. Points will be awarded for historical accuracy, and points mean booze. See you there! Miles [1] Perl geeks: what does that string of symbols evaluate to? And why? [2] As any fule kno, 2010 was the start of the second watch, and thus considered by the Romans to be sacred to Heliogabalus, the god of beleaguered graduate students. -- There are four ways to defeat your opponent: break his sword, break his technique, break his spirit, or come at him in the shower with a crowbar. -- Anonymous kendo sensei From perl at aaroncrane.co.uk Tue Sep 22 11:44:49 2009 From: perl at aaroncrane.co.uk (Aaron Crane) Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:44:49 +0100 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Thursday meeting Message-ID: That's right, it's Perl mongers time again.

They're a natural herb remedy which boost the immune system. I take one if I wake up with a sore throat. Usually by lunchtime its better. Don't take them all the time as the documentation says, just when you need one to boost your immune system to fight off a bug.
