I've seen him do: "Dirty Secrets of the Perl Regex Engine", "The Identity Function", and "The Perl Hardware Store (Tools You Didn't Know You Needed)", all excellent talks. I'm passing the to.pm message here, because I'd love to get some of us down to TO to see him. -Daniel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2004 16:01:12 -0500 From: Richard Dice To: tpm@to.pm.org Subject: [tpm] Planning a trip by MJD to Toronto && call for donations Hi everyone... I've been in touch with MJD again recently. He's still very happy to come and visit us to give a few talks. So, for a bit of planning... It looks like the best weekend to do this is that is (roughly) in keeping with our hopes to have him in for our May meeting is the first weekend in June. We'd fly him in the evening of Friday the 4th and out some time on Sunday the 6th. I'm thinking we'll ask him to give 3-4 hours' worth of talks. I've gone to his web site - http://perl.plover.com/ - and compiled a list of his talks, their duration and a link to the page which describes the talk below. Anyone want to speak up on what they'd like to see? Here is the first call for donations -- please donate! I'm tentatively okay for having a place for him to stay. But we do need to put together a few $100 to cover travel and all that stuff. So, if you think you can help out, please get in touch with me. Note that even small donations ($30 or $40) make a big difference when you consider that this is something we can all contribute to, and it's not a daunting target figure we have to reach. I'm also open to suggestions of (and donations of!) a venue for his talk. This will be bigger than your average TPM meeting. Maybe something on the order of 80 - 100 seats would be best?

These programmatic interfaces are referred to as Web services. A few scoops of XML-RPC, a little SOAP, a dash of WSDL, UDDI and voila- acronym soup! Come along as we explore how to make the acronyms do some real work with the power of Perl. Date/Time: Wednesday the 17th of March, 2004 at 7pm Location: University of Waterloo Bioinformatics Lab, Davis Centre room 2305 For directions and a map, please check our FAQ: http://kw.pm.org/faq.html After the meeting we will adjourn to Morty's for drinks. Parking: The closest legal parking is probably the 'B' lot, which has public parking after 4pm for $2 (coin only). The entrance is on Phillip Street, just after the University Plaza going East on University Ave. From arguile at lucentstudios.com Sat Mar 13 00:32:40 2004 From: arguile at lucentstudios.com (Arguile) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:31:34 2004 Subject: [kw-pm] March Meeting- Wed. 17 March, 7pm In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1079159454.1967.1860.camel@broadswd.local> On Fri, 2004-03-12 at 23:02, Daniel R.

Lloyd had asked me privately if I could give a few short words on the XMLRPC stuff I'd been doing (and presented on last January I think it was) -- I can commit to the 21st of April if y'all are willing to wait that long. :-) I am sure that Lloyd'll have plenty on his own though.
