I apologize for the late RSVP.  I plan to be there tomorrow night if work
doesn't keep me late.  If this is too late for the food head count, I'm not
concerned.  I'm more interested in learning Perl stuff than in getting free
food.

Wade, please put me down, I'll be there.  Don't know if I'm in time for the
food list, but if not, that's OK.

Wade,

I'm about to leave work (Willowbrook/Tomball area) to head to the meeting,
which means that I'll probably be getting there about 7pm or a little
after.  What's the best way to get to the meeting room if I'm locked out of
the building or that area of the second floor?

I can receive emails on my phone, so if you reply by email, I'll be able to
see it.  Or if you prefer to call/text a response back, my cell number is
281-687-4362.

Subject: [pm-h] The picture timestamp issue
Message-ID: <20100910071320.1494a422@sovvan>

During last night's presentation, I did a demonstration with renaming
image files and we had a problem with lots of overlap in the timestamps.

I've found that my originals had the correct timestamps (with little
overlap). Apparently, when I copied them to the flash drive, I forgot
to preserve timestamps. This gave a lot more overlap in time.

It did make for a good lesson in why to back up data before doing a
destructive change, though.

Thanks for coming to the meeting.
G. Wade
